| Totally underrated/underreviewed album on here. I like that somehow Hause demonstrates a total original sound yet still wears his influences on his sleeve. |

| The level of consistency Foo Fighters have amassed is incredible. Tracks 1&5 are the highlights I think, with 4 being the only weak track. Great little surprise from our FF friends. Sputnik is too hard on FF for the most part, I believe. |

Damn, I'm really upset that this album does not have any love  rI'll admit that not all the songs I can get into, but "We Only Attack Ourselves" is amazing as is "Hands Down". |

| Rethinking this as a 5, the production is a little thinner than I remember, feel like there is only room for one old-school REM record, and that rating should go to Reckoning. |

| Rise Against Siren Song of the Counter Culture |
| Would be "Classic" for the sheer energy, emotion, and songwriting, but the production causes it to fall slightly shy.rThe guitar tracks sound "spongy", the vocals are buried on many tracks, and the album comes off as unfinished in spots, such as the closer "Rumors Of My Demise..." which is anthemic yet sounds somewhat unfinished based on its complete lack of lead guitar and lack of interesting bass lines. |

| Very informative and a great song to base an EP around. B-side "About Damn Time" kicks ass as well, and should have been on the full length album. |

| Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve Through the Fire |
| Underrated, lost gem from from the mid-80s. One of the first rock 'supergroups' of all time, and quite a transitional album from 70s hard rock to 80s arena rock. Highlights include the 1-2 opening tracks of "Top of the Rock" and "Missing You"?two early indicators of Hagar's imminent future tenure in Van Halen?a cover of Procol Harum's ballad "Whiter Shade of Pale", and the penultimate track "He Will Understand", which contains one of the most interesting riff's I've ever heard. |

| If it weren't for those awfully contrived "emotional" moments on the record (Where the music drops out and it's the singer putting on this performative wavering voice), I'd've given this a 4.5. |

| Although this is a musical classic, a staple of 80's alternative music, the lyrics are a little too repetitive to garner any higher than a 4. |
| The Cure Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me |
| Accidentally rated it a 2 on my first go. Hope that didn't count for anything. |
