Pink FlagWire

Rated 10/10

I love this album. You can see why it's considered an influence for like half of the bands that I consider now to be my favorites.

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. Didn't know much about them, of course I've heard one or two of these songs before. But I liked it quite a bit.

Sea ChangeBeck

Rated 8/10

This is the Beck album I've listened to the most after Odeley. It's full on singer/songwriter Beck and I really enjoy it.

Side note - I think this is the only album I ever had on SACD. I couldn't tell the difference.

LowDavid Bowie

Rated 8/10

While I'm still waiting for some Ziggy Stardust Bowie to show up on the list, this might be my favorite of the Bowie we've gotten so far. Even the weird stuff in the second half worked for me. It's not an album I would put on often, but it's good.

SlipknotSlipknot

Rated 2/10

I really hate Slipknot. The drums, like the other Slipknot album, are amazing. But everything else is a dumpster fire and I cannot believe that there are two of these albums on this list when one was way, way to many.

Queen IIQueen

Rated 6/10

It was just okay. Queen doesn't seem to have great albums, just great songs, and I don't know if there were any great songs on this one for me.

Wainright might have the most annoying voice I've heard since the last Bjork album I listened to. It starts off with an absolutly terrible crappy "song" (I'm not sure I even want to call it that) and doesn't get much better the rest of the way. An entrie album of completely boring tracks sung by a whiny bitch.

Rated 6/10

Whoops, missed rating this one. It's Rush, so it's going to be really good musicianship. The first half is better than the second, by a lot.

Cypress Hill was one of the worst live acts I've ever seen (and it might not have been their fault, being the inbetweener set between MxPx and The Offspring makes no sense.)

I didn't really find much in this album for me. It's fairly repetitive and mostly uninteresting.

Really surprised by how much I liked this album. I don't know much about Van Morrison outside of his few hits. But this whole album works. Good stuff here.

This one is pretty weird. But not always in a terrible way, though at times it's pretty rough. But some things on it did resonate fairly decently and it wasn't a complete waste.

Rated 8/10

Not a band or album I was familiar with, at all. But this was really interesting and I think I liked it a lot!

I know I'm supposed to like this album. People lose their shit over it all the time. I just didn't care, and I found it completely boring. It's just not for me, and I'll take the hit for not being able to appreciate it.
