ElephantThe White Stripes

6/10

Seven Nation Army is obviously a classic but besides that one and few other riffs on the album, this is not such a huge masterpiece as people paint it. It'a a good album. Just good.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of OrpheusNick Cave & the Bad Seeds

6/10

Seeing another Nick Cave album so fast felt like a very well-aimed kick in the balls. And even considering my masochistic tendencies, it was not pleasant at all. After last album I was left with inner, unexplainable hatred towards this man and his band of cumlings. Anywho, this album surprised me very much, first songs were very strong, a 4 star album for sure. And then the rest came - actually, most of the album... It became way more boring, nothing more stood out like the first tracks. An album that had such potential was failed by it's lenght - and I say it as a huge prog nerd who loves long songs and albums! So, Nick, this is better, you're evolving. You just need to learn when to stop.

Larks’ Tongues in AspicKing Crimson

10/10

Certainly not as phenomenal as In The Court of the Crimson King, that is also on the list, but it is still a King Crimson album. I'd put fee of their records above this one but Lark's Tounges shine with KC genius all over the place. Some of the heaviest riffs of theirs, a lot of genres put together, with psychadelic KC feel. What else can I say? It's a prog rock classic, one of the easiest 5 stars on the list.

6/10

Garbage wasnt actually so garbageish, BUT the mix of the first track was indeed hot shit garbage. I am not sure if it's remaster's fault or not but fortunetaly it was better in the rest of the album. It was nice, but quite long. I am not sure about some of the tracks too. Some great, some quite boring.
