Haven't listened to them all yet
Rock bottom
yerself is steam
Modern dance
not avaliable
geek the girl
If 8.5's count, I'll replace geek the girl with have one on me

Haven't through all of them, but here's insofar:
1. Nick cave - the good son
2. Foetus - nail
3. Nico - desertshore
4. Type-o negative - slow deep and hard
5. Velvet underground and nico

The only one that I've so far listened to and feel positively dislike is Down Colorful Hill tbqh.

what did you dislike about it?

The emotion doesn't get into me at all. Maybe its the lyrical theme, its too mundane with too many love story reference, too little existentialism. Maybe its his vocal or maybe its the melody that sounds too bittersweet to be depressed. It doesn't sound dissonant/eerie enough. I think "Low - I could live in hope" is a far superior slowcore album.

1. Nail
2. Trout Mask
3. Modern Dance
4. White Light/White Heat
5. Blonde on Blonde
Or threads about which female pop singer waifu has more people jerking off to her atm
I think his list is pretty spot on, not to mention Rock Bottom and Faust both get 9.5 from him. The top 5 9 ratings from Scaruffi are
1. TVU&N
2. The Doors
3. Hosianna Mantra
4. The Modern Dance
5. Twin Infinitives
All those albums are fucking incredible

1. White Light/White Heat
2. Loveless
3. TMR
4. Uncle Meat
5. Psychic Powerless

God this is fucking hard.
1.VU and Nico
2.Rock Bottom
3.Loveless
4.Nail
5.Slow, Deep, and Hard

looking back on my list, I would replace Faust with Third

That album still blows me away. I listen to so much more music now than when I was first exploring new tastes and using Scaruffi's website as a pseudo-introductory guide to generic good music, but I still really think all the albums on his "top list" are fucking incredible

I agree with a few of those points, but 24 might be my favourite song in the genre. 2nd half of the album feels a bit weaker to me, but still great. I agree that it doesn't really significantly stand out above his other slowcore favourites however (Codeine and Low, not sure what other 8's he's given out to slowcore albums).

scaruffi core might not be out of this world obscure, but boy was it a fucking journey. Not my favorite album, but the album good made me look into guitarless rock and roll

Best 9s only
1. Twin Infinitives
2. Geek the Girl
3. Modern Dance
4. Faust
5. Yerself is Steam or Trout Mask Replica

Trout Mask AND Faust are 9.5

I meant 9+

1. Loveless

3. The Good Son
4. Not Available
5. Psychic Powerless
6. Down Colourful Hill
7. Y
8. Spiderland
9. Neutral!
