	Justin Timberlake The 20/20 Experience This was really tough. I was going to give it around a 4-4.5...but after listening to it enough...no other word comes to mind other than "classic." There's so much originality to be heard throughout this journey of an album. Whether it's the symphony-esque intro of "Pusher Love Girl", to the weird interlude in "Don't Hold the Wall", to the dance-groove in "Let the Groove In", to the utter-amazing ballad "Mirrors", finishing with the ambient "Blue Ocean Floor"; so many genres are covered throughout the album, whilst keeping in the R&B feel overall. Production is incredible, writing is incredible, vocals are incredible. Any complaints are nitpi	5.0 03.31.13
	That's Outrageous! Teenage Scream Eh, it was fun. Not the worst songwriting I've ever heard; not the best songwriting I ever heard. Some of the 'rapping' parts (such as in the title track) are kinda awkward, but at the same time fit. Mixing wise, it's your basic type of sound for the genre. Instrumentally, there are a lot of generic riffs thrown in there, but at least some of the leads (in a few tracks) can be creative enough. The electronics are what help this album work overall though, as there are some pretty cool sounds in here.	3.0 03.31.13
	Capture the Crown Til Death Asking Alexandria, Part III. I'll give this album credit where it's due first. 1-The clean vocals are good. The vocalist's tone is pleasant, and some melodies are pretty catchy (after doing a bit of research, he can actually sing on pitch as well). 2-There is potential for the guitar parts. There are guitar solos, there are lead lines, but they just fall into this cliche. If the guitarists can write/play interesting stuff...why don't they just do it for the whole album and not just parts? 3-The whole album doesn't try (as hard as I thought it would) to copy other bands. It's tolerable. Some of my negatives have been already kind of stated...b	2.5 12.24.12
	Woe, Is Me Genesi[s] Pure geniu[s]! It's so impre[s][s]ive to [s]ee that thi[s] band ha[s] not faltered with their [s]ophomore relea[s]e. When pre[s]ented with dilemma[s] like, "what do we do with lead guitar part[s]?", and from there have repetitive breakdown[s] is purely magical. Lyrically, it'[s] the be[s]t thing in the entire univer[s]e. Line[s] such a[s] "It mu[s]t be hard to talk [] with a ** in your throat" are purely original and i[s] [s]omething that can be viewed in competition with [S]hake[s]peare. Don't forget the random orche[s]tral parts! While their previou[s] album didn't make u[s]e of the potential of	1.0 12.18.12
	fun. Some Nights I've been listening to this for about half a year now, and forgot to rate this. It's definitely a really unique album. Each song (for the most part) contrasts from each other. The general sound though is very "love it, hate it, or shrug it off." If you love it, you'll love it. If you hate it, you obviously won't listen to it. If you 'shrug it off', you'll just kind of thing it's average music for todays apparent 'mainstream indie' scene. Composition wise: the guys know what they're doing. Instrumentally: interesting. Vocally: love it or hate it. Production wise: brilliant. What defines this album though are the unique ideas in the intro, the	4.5 11.18.12
	Green Day American Idiot Not as bad as people think. A defining album from the band that put them on the mainstream map. While singles like "Holiday", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" impress, it's songs like "Jesus of Surburbia" that really help the album. With a constant message and well-written tunes, it's an excellent album for the band.	4.0 11.13.12
	Green Day Warning An interesting album, mainly because there's a lot of interesting instrumentation here. Green Day dives into using acoustic guitars more, and the two singles from the album were driven using it. In terms of mixing, it's interesting enough to keep the listener hooked.	3.5 11.13.12
