5.0 classic
Fleetwood Mac Rumours
This is the closest thing to a flawless album that I have heard. The relationships amongst some of Fleetwood Mac's members were in complete turmoil at the time, and all the emotion, desperation, honesty and hope was laid on the table. Nearly every song is gold.

4.0 excellent
Adrian Belew Mr. Music Head
Adrian Belew's musical prowess is in full swing here, as he displays his versatility and writing ability.
Chevelle Vena Sera
Almost every song here just flat-out rocks. Vena Sera showcases a tight, energetic sound as Chevelle presents their heavier side. The album loses focus in a few spots, but this is about as high as a 4 can be.
Chicago Chicago X
The final installment of Chicago's rock/pop rock days. A fun and catchy album that shows off the talents of every band member and perfectly blends Chicago's distinct sound.
Isis Panopticon
Metallica Death Magnetic
Russian Circles Geneva
Almost as good as the album that follows it. Sputnik's rating, a 3.9, is exactly what I'd call it. The second half of the album could use some trimming.
Russian Circles Empros

3.5 great
Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold
A7X's self-titled album is incredibly experimental, but the crazy part is...most of it works. Albeit, it's not something they should attempt again. Auto-tune, country guitar styles, political rants, they all make appearances. Aside from the joke of a final track, this album has some tasty material.
Bassnectar Timestretch
Fu Manchu Eatin' Dust
King Crimson Discipline
Red Innocence and Instinct
Red Until We Have Faces
As others have pointed out, this album is a grower. The problem is that several songs here had the potential to be great but fell just short. Having said that, UWHF is bolstered by some of Red's best music to date (see "Feed the Machine"), and after a few listens, the strengths of other songs become apparent.

3.0 good
Fu Manchu In Search Of...
There are a handful of standout tracks with infectiously fuzzy grooves and chunky vibes, but for the most part, this album bleeds together too much. Only a few songs have a real identity.
If These Trees Could Talk Above the Earth, Below the Sky
Metallica Beyond Magnetic
It's clear why these didn't make the DM cut. The tunes suffer from awkward transitions and occasionally laughable lyrics. Still, it has its moments and there's some enjoyable riffage, barely keeping Beyond Magnetic above a 2.5.
Pelican Australasia
Year of No Light Ausserwelt

2.5 average
Three Days Grace Life Starts Now
