One of my favourite albums of all time. If this wasn't on the list it would have been a strong contender for a suggestion. Such a creative metal band, Mike sounds like Spongebob, the basslines and riffs are a serious groove and FNM had such a massive influence on the genre in the 90s and early 00s. Not to everyone's taste but the comparisons to RHCP are so stupid and only hold because they were contemporaries. Seriously fantastic album with no weak songs. What a blend of metal, hip hop, electronic, prog. Beautiful. Somebody put me together !

Superbly boring but with some nice moments. Felt like I was waiting for something to turn, alright to listen to and felt a bit more 'retro' than early 200s

Not sure I needed more non descript 60s rock but this was listenable and runs for a nice 30 minutes. That song with the plane in the background was a terrible choice though

Incredibly socially relevant - hard hitting, such talented rap and rightfully deserves its critical acclaim. It isn't the most digestible nor is it my favourite Kendrick LP for the reason it's just not that enjoyable for some parts - despite how good the music actually is. i, King Kunta, and The Blacker The Berry are three of my top rap songs. You really need to be in the mood for this to listen

Back to front iconic. Every song has potential to be a lead single. These guys perfected thrash and that's why they broke the mainstream. Fitting as I saw them only last week and boy do they still have it

The most FIFA 12 sounding album in the best way. Interesting and makes you want to listen. Doesn't get old throughout the album. Will need to give a relisten as this had the potential for a 5, and I don't feel I appreciated it enough until the end.

Really strangely enjoyable. Take Mother far away though. I've always thought that The Police were quite an acquired taste and that hasn't changed

Rated 4/10

Horrifically bloated and not musically interesting enough to make up for it. Glam rock is already on thin ice and this is a bad example of it. Massive respect for Rick Allen though.

Fake Blues. Fake Rock. Fake Blues Rock? It's not musically awful but it sounds like an American advert / the better songs should be on a FIFA soundtrack. Fun in a pinch but not for a 15-song stretch. every song that followed the last felt so derivative of that last song

Rated 8/10

Overlong and a bit all over the place really. The drums are mixed pretty badly, some lyricism is meh but I couldn't help but enjoy most songs - Fleetwood Mac are just that captivating. Sisters of the Moon a highlight
