| A surprisingly spectacular effort from Mustaine and co., Endgame delivers in almost every way and brings out the best aspects of the band. This is quite possibly Deth's greatest work since Countdown To Extinction, and shows the band simply doing what they do best; rocking the fuck out. |

| A modern classic is what the critics raved the day this album was released. I would have to agree. Best album of the 90s? Maybe. Best Radiohead album? Definitely. Best songs are probably No Surprises and the epic Paranoid Android |

| Containing some absolutely spectacular guitar work, this album is widely considered to be a masterpiece, and for good reason. The instrumentation is brilliant, and the song structures are varied and interesting with plenty of variety. If you are a guitarist, or simply someone interested in instrumental rock, you must get this album. |

| Between The Buried And Me Colors |
| An excellent example of progressive metal, the only major issue that I had when listening to this album is that some of the shorter songs seem uneccesary and boring when compared to the 10 minute plus epics. The shorter songs seem to drag on longer than their epic counterparts, which takes away from much of the album. The instrumentation is nothing short of amazing however, with some spectacular solos from all instruments. The vocals, for the most part, are very good, although they can sometimes grow repetitive and unexciting. All in all, this is a fairly good album that really shines on instrumental sections. |
| Between The Buried And Me The Silent Circus |
| Between The Buried And Me Alaska |
| Blackfoot Strikes |
| A traditional southern rock album, Strikes pretty much follows the mold of previous Skynyrd releases to make a rock blues hybrid. Although not very consistent, and with a share of weak songs, some great guitar riffs and vocals really overshadow the few weak points. |

| Although passing through a phase of drug addiction and personal issues, Reed still manages to grab this live performance and put on a great show. Although his voice is not the strongest, the lyrics to his songs and some great instrumentation really make the album work. Some of the songs, unfortunately, seem to drag on for too long, and those not familiar with Lou's prior work may not enjoy this. |

| Slayer God Hates Us All |
| Out of all of the Slayer albums, this is the most mainstream that I have heard. Some of the songs seem to be tailored just for radio play. Although this is not a bad thing, as shown on 'Bloodline', the formula eventually begins to wear thin. The instruments, as usual are excellent with some great drumming on 'War Zone'. The singing has become slower and more melodic, which suits the slower style of the music. |

| Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother |
| Pink Floyd The Division Bell |
| Although a return to the Pink Floyd of old, and a large step up from Momentary Lapse of Reason, the album just seems like it is full of rehashes of all past Pink Floyd tunes. David Gilmour is still a great vocalist and guitar player, but his music can start to grow very boring very quickly. Very few songs stand out, and aside from the classic 'High Hopes' and the gorgeous instrumental 'Marooned', there is very little new or interesting material here. |

| Radiohead Amnesiac |
| Following the combined brilliance of The Bends, Ok Computer, and Kid A, Amnesiac comes as quite a dissapointment. Combining elements of all three prior albums (not Pablo Honey, which noone likes) probably sounded like a brilliant idea at the time, but in the end the album comes off as being bloated and boring. Sure, Knives Out and Pyramid Song radiate of the classic Radiohead bleakness, but it is not worth deciphering and listening to the boring, pointless tracks in order to get the more decent ones. |

The best songs here are often under 4 minutes, which is a shame, because the longer songs show potential if not for their repetitiveness. |
