| The boundaries to psychedelic rock are almost limitless. Blaak Heat Shujaa is just learning to break through them surprisingly well with a blend of dark, slightly metal, progressive overtones in their debut EP: The Edge Of An Era. 3.8/5 |
| Black Sabbath Vol. 4 | 4.0 |
| Don't be wack. BS is for Black Sabbath, not bull s**t. And to inform you, this album isn't bull s**t. Not even close. It just has a few dissapointing flaws, but this album has mostly good characteristics. |
| Black Sabbath Sabotage | 4.0 |
| Black Sabbath Master of Reality | 4.5 |
| Is the truth that difficult to face as reality? In comparison to Paranoid, Master of Reality is nearly as impressive, creating something a little milder and still very heavy. |
| Black Sabbath Black Sabbath | 4.5 |
| This should be considered the first true metal album. It was also the reason Paranoid came into existance. It puts together the styles of blues, metal, and rock in a neat display of unusual power for the time. |
| Black Sabbath Sabbath Bloody Sabbath | 4.5 |
| This is one of my personal favorites by Black Sabbath. It improves the styles that were almost lost from Volume 4 and brings a more mature metal sound to the group. I may only be concerned about Who Are You?, but it's just a minor concern. The second to last brilliant album from the Magnificant Six. |
| Black Sabbath Paranoid | 5.0 |
| This should be considered one of the most revolutionary metal albums by Black Sabbath, the 1970s, and perhaps of all time. Why? Because, Paranoid really opened the doors to the metal music world. There are only a few albums that are as powerful. |

| Deafheaven Sunbather | 3.5 |
| Not quite the heaven I was expecting. I end up asking more questions than I should have: it sounds like quality death metal, but how come it sounds so shoegazish?!?! Why couldn't it just be instrumental? And for that matter, why am I listening to this? There are some things that skew with my brain, and this is one of them. 3.4/5 |
| Deep Purple Machine Head | 4.5 |
| One of the definative metal albums of the decade. There are only a few albums such as Paranoid by Black Sabbath that can truly beat this. |
| Deftones Koi No Yokan | 4.5 |
| I can't believe I didn't discover them any earlier. Koi No Yokan is on level with White Pony andn Diamond Eyes, I believe. Perhaps the best of the year. |

| DragonForce Inhuman Rampage | 4.0 |
| Dragonforce has no good honest reason to be playing the way they do in speed metal. When you pull the whole Japanese equation, you get something like this. The extremity faced in this album is so harsh it fits the power of the legend metal album. However, the consistantly uninteresting and the same old, same old story ruins the chances of it becoming an instant dose of classic. |

| Dream Theater Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory | 4.5 |
| Dream Theater's "magnum opus" is so close to being one on my scale. It's probably one of the few concept albums I'll listen to without getting bored. It's also one of DT's best. |

| Emerson Lake and Palmer Works Volume 2 | 2.5 |
| When things in ELP started to get very strange... |
| Emerson Lake and Palmer Works Volume 1 | 3.0 |
| Let's be honest...most of this album sounds as if it was made at the last minute. Some of it sounds good, others of it sounds incredibly messed up. The only reason it doesn't completely remain horrifying is that Piano Concerto saves the album from being worthless. |
| Emerson Lake and Palmer Emerson, Lake & Palmer | 3.5 |
| It was good for a debut album, but it's also easy to get lost in pretentiousness and mockery. |
| Emerson Lake and Palmer Tarkus | 3.5 |
| It's mostly pretentious mockery mixed with talent, flamboyance, and such. What more could there possibly be? |
| Emerson Lake and Palmer Works Live | 3.5 |
| Emerson Lake and Palmer Brain Salad Surgery | 4.5 |
| The best you can ever ask of ELP. It has just about every single progressive rock element known, pretentiousness included. |
| Fight War Of Words | 4.0 |
| This album didn't sacrifice too much power during the transition from Painkiller. It certainly gave Rob Halford a different prospective of metal. And it was fun to listen to as well. |

| In all the years Genesis has been around, sophistication wouldn't sound better in any previous album than it would sound in Foxtrot. |
| Genesis A Trick of the Tail | 4.5 |
| If Genesis lost anything from this album, the only variable they lost was Peter Gabriel. Everything else about the album is still there and still sounds as rich as ever. At the same time, this album also sniffs an approaching storm of pop music, though... |

| They brought a bunch of b-sides pretty well together. IMPRESSIVE. |
| Green Day Dookie | 4.0 |
| Green Day American Idiot | 4.0 |
| I thought the canvas was destroyed here. I guess I was wrong. It didn't turn out to be the worst Green Day album. It does a good job displaying the concept pretty well and sets itself in a different direction. Maybe that will be its downfall. |
| Green Day Warning | 4.5 |
| This was the best Green Day was ever going to get, because they calmed down the punk style just enough, and gave each song some a little emotion rather than the usual f##k you feeling. This may perhaps be the reason they fell back down to a much lower status and can't escape their trademark, recycled punk style. |

| Horslips The Book of Invasions: A Celtic Symphony | 4.5 |
| HRVRD From the Bird's Cage | 4.5 |
| I suppose I might be suffering a seizure, but I really think this is amazing. HRVRD has moved from Post Hardcore to Indie Alternative and they sound even better as a result. You might beg to differ, but this is simply just an opinion embodied with a fact. |
| Iceage You're Nothing | 3.0 |
| The sharp blade of beautiful distortion is immediately dulled by the vocalist. 3.1/5 |
| Igor Stravinsky L'Oiseau de feu | 4.5 |

| Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast | 4.5 |
| Iron Maiden Seventh Son of a Seventh Son | 5.0 |
| This would be the last brilliant Iron Maiden album, and the rest would fall the bottom out. Seventh Son is so great because Iron Maiden does a really good job with the concept and putting it into each of the songs. While each of the songs in previous albums had stories in them, these stories for each song on this album seem to have more meaning. Another nearly flawless entry for a metal band that has been that way for almost a decade. |

| I suppose after what was Screaming for Vengeance, the best Judas Priest album made in a long time, was finished, Judas Priest to dip down during the next two albums. Then suddenly, Painkiller came by and gave us one of the heaviest metal albums to date. One of the best ones, by the way. |

At the dawning of our souls, we'll saw the light. That was many years ago. It held so much meaning we attempted to search deeper into it. King Crimson was of many explorers searching beyond the light into the darkest of all nights. They went beyond prophetic, beyond real, and beyond the mainstream music bloodlines. It was the temple that helped progressive rock move forward throughout the world. Don't overthink the main definition of prog rock. It lies in this masterpiece of masterpieces.

| I find it way too difficult to compare Megadeth to Metallica. I mean, Mustaine got what he was looking for, so why argue? 4.75/5 |
| Metallica Master of Puppets | 4.5 |
| This album is extremely overrated. On the other hand, Metallica does not sell itself short at all. This could've easily been one of the best heavy albums in the history of music. That's if only Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Deep Purple hadn't done it first. |
| Metallica Ride the Lightning | 4.5 |
| Metallica ...And Justice for All | 4.5 |
| If you take a leap in terms of two different albums, you might see a difference. With Metallica, the difference between ...And Justice for All and Master of Puppets is almost not a difference. However, that is one simple factor that separates the two of them from each other. Master of Puppets is extremely overrated and this is almost underrated. ...And Justice for All takes a much more enjoyable approach in terms of music since you're not thrashing the whole way through it. However, it doesn't lack any metal elements whatsoever. It would be perfect, if it weren't for the results of certain sections of the album. |

| Muse Black Holes & Revelations | 4.5 |
Muse was not going to go down without a big bang. It was a Supermassive Black Hole. It consumed all negatism wherever it went. It would often make appearances during Starlight of the darkness, feeding on the Cities of Delusion through Exo-Politics. Even Assassins and Hoodoos failed to assail this fierce enemy. A Soldier's Poem inspired a group of aparent Invincible men known as the Knights of Cydonia to stop this beast. Before the Black Hole had accepted defeat, it Took a Bow and dissappeared without a trace. Wherever it may appear again, it may plague the world yet again. But for now, our heroes walked off of the Map of Problematique, Glorious.
If you look at Black Holes and Revelations in comparison to the rest of its discography, it could be considered the most powerful LP by Muse to date. It almost matches up to the standards of Origin of Symmetry and Absolution, but just falls short. Not bad for a fourth Muse Album.
Incredible. |
| Muse Absolution | 5.0 |
| Not nearly as bombastic or as fun as Origin of Symmetry, but it sure still stands clearly victorious. |
| Muse Origin of Symmetry | 5.0 |
| There's no limits to what Muse has done in this 21st Century Magnum Opus. It stands as one of the pillars of alternative indie rock and delivers every single that is demanded, tenacity, over the top heaviness, and a warmth of keyboards all over. It's only appropriate to say that this album should come to be incredibly influentual for the next generation. 5/5 |

| Pink Floyd Animals | 4.5 |
| Pink Floyd has always been a heavily arbitrary band with their concepts and themes. So, when the year 1977 roled around, it was both a surprise and yet expected that the group would come out with Animals, an album that was filled with surprises, a concept about the political structures of society, and a very different design in comparison to that of Wish You Were Here. However, the acoustic tone, the extended themes of three different classes/animals, and a need for creating emotion within in it all still makes this album a power prog rock album to this very day. |

| Sergei Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18 | 5.0 |
After the utter failure of his first symphony in Russia, Sergei Rachmaninoff, a genius of the late Romantic/early Contemporary age, had sought psychiatric help. During the period in which he had been working with a psychiatrist, he had began to have the thought in his head that he could create great music. That thought was what his psychiatrist had constantly said to him in the time he was composing Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18.
Piano Concerto Two is beyond words, and almost beyond analyzation. Each movement is incredibly unique and so well excercised between the Piano and the whole orchestra that it becomes a perfect blend. The combination of the use of Romantic and Contemporary music is also nearly perfect as well. The first movement, possibly the most well known, introduces the concerto with gusto, emotion, energy, and power. The second movement gives you a rest with one of the most calming pieces constructed by Rachmaninoff. The third movement revs up the bombastity, complexity, energy, and power by bring everything from the first two movements together. In a display of fury and power, the Piano Concerto ends with intense glory. Glory that only the likes of Beethoven, Mussorgsky, Bach, Copland, and Mozart could match. |

| The Beatles The Beatles | 4.5 |
After a revolutionary Sgt. Pepper album broke through the ice of the world, it was going to be difficult for the Beatles to top that. Instead, they matched it with massive 90 minute work, The Beatles, or the The White Album. With catchy songs, accoustic pieces, and bizarre masterpieces, this album can't quite match match the eccentricicy of the previous work, but is still head on.
Also, if I tried to talk to Iai (Nick Butler) about music, I think it would end in a massive argument. Despite some of our agreements, we're mostly split by certain songs. While he thinks most of the White Album songs are just plain average, I think that there's way more importance to most of them, except maybe Wild Honey Pie. During the making of this album, all the members were going through massive revolutions in their heads, making nonsense of themselves. Yeah, they got high, but at this rate, even drugs weren't spelling the eventual split up. The only reason they stayed together, is because two is better than one. John still had some love for Paul's work (no homo :O) and it only benefited the whole group. George Harrison was only starting to show more gusto, and unified the album a little more than it originally was. And even if John was helpless without Paul or vice versa, for either, it would still be honorable.
Take that, Nick Butler. |
| The Beatles Abbey Road | 5.0 |
| Too much credit is always given to Sgt. Pepper. It was indeed a brilliant album, but it was also just another drug album (perhaps the same could be said about many albums). This was a very different story. When the Beatles stopped touring, and put more time into their studio material, something about their image changed. They began to discover even more purpose in the concept album and finding ways to cleverly place it in their music. And eventually, they went perfect in their true, reigning magnum opus finale act, Abbey Road. |
| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | 5.0 |
| The Beatles essentially back in the 1960s were like any other pop artist, living the dream. But someday, they'd approach the point where they were very tired of creating the same music. So, just coincidently in the year of love, 1967, The Beatles made a groundbreaking record that would influence hundreds of artists all the way into the present, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This contains just about everything you could possibly ask for from them and more. Absolute creativity in this album has no bounds as this album would soar to the top, often being coined as one of the best albums of the 60s and the 20th century. 5/5 |

I really thought of this album as a new King Crimson album. It seems a little closer to prog metal, but never too far away are the possibilities of this group being the next King Crimson. After, it was an excellent debut album.

| U2 No Line on the Horizon | 4.0 |
| Yes, TBH, I was raised under the authority of U2. I was easily built to like it. Whether that was a bad mistake or not is no longer my judgement. I will simply state that if you look in terms of what they were making in the 2000s, material was always going to be on the edge, most especially How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which spiritual properties made it easy musical propaganda. And then, suddenly you get an album, No Line On the Horizon, which builds on more of a 21st century regular rock ordeal, and you get U2's enjoyable sound, built on bright lights. This really added up to SOMETHING. |
| U2 Achtung Baby | 4.5 |
| U2 All That You Can't Leave Behind | 4.5 |
| U2 takes back to the hills and returns to a highly regarded style of music, one that is hard to find. I their efforts, they create a more than average, perhaps one of the last superb performance. |
| U2 The Joshua Tree | 5.0 |
| This is either an album you'll love or hate. Most Bono-haters are going to drop the bomb and say "screw it, this album is horrible." Most U2 fans are going to say "this is AWESOME!" For anybody in between, the mystery remains. However, after analyzing this album for a full 10 years of my life from when I first heard this in school to now, the message of U2's Joshua Tree says more than just clever wankery and looselined lyrics and songwriting. This album is the cries of the lost in their own deceit and loss (alluding to Mothers of the Disappeared.) This album is the breaking of ethnical borders (allusion toTrip Between Your Wires.) This album the telling of old stories to new ones (allusions to Where the Streets Have No Name and Red Hill Mining Town.) Finally, this album is the culmination of perfect rock and pop combined together on an integral album (alluding to With or Without You.) So, take a good look at it from the broad perspective. I think you'll see that it's revolutionary. |

| Yes at it's best. It had been climbing the mountain of its past albums and came over the top with Close to the Edge. With an epic and two other great songs, this album deserves kudos. |
