Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicAC/DC Back In BlackWith the exception of "let me put my love into you"... all songs are masterpieces. When I hear this record I get the impression it's one of those "best off" career celebration albums - packed with hits compiled from multiple records launched over a long period of time. Well... it's not, for ACDC it's just another record. An amazing one, though. Dire Straits Brothers in Arms5/9 songs are excellent: #1 So far away; #2 Money for nothing (masterpiece) #4 Your latest trick (masterpiece) #5 Why worry (masterpiece) #9 Brothers in arms (masterpiece) Every audiophile should own this album. Metallica MetallicaPerfect. Like all the songs a lot. The first 5 songs plus Nothing Else Matters are masterpieces. The rest is superb.Pink Floyd Wish You Were HerePerfect. Sounds like they are inviting ETs to visit the Earth!! 4.5 superbAdele 19Camel MirageDeep Purple Machine HeadFleetwood Mac Tango in the NightGuns N' Roses Use Your Illusion IIGuns N' Roses Appetite for DestructionMarillion Script for a Jester's Tear6 great songs including "He knows you know".Metallica Master of PuppetsMiles Davis Kind of BlueMiles Davis In a Silent WayConfortable. Modern. Refreshing. Some parts remind me Pink Floyd's masterpiece Wish You Were Here (released 6 years later). Pink Floyd Delicate Sound of ThunderPacked with best-of-breed songs and a great "live" ambiance this album offers a super listening experience. Naturally, studio versions of these songs have purer sound.Queen Absolute GreatestBesides first edition collectors... Who cares that other compilations - with the same songs - were launched in 2000 and before? Fortunately, every day there are people (e.g. youngsters) finding Queen for the first time; or finding that a CD has much more quality than the MP3 on their iTunes. This album is packed with top quality music and is a fantastic option for someone looking to improve their Queen music library. Simon and Garfunkel The Concert in Central ParkThe Cranberries Bury the HatchetHighly dynamic vocals and instruments. Album includes 7 great songs including: - Animal instinct; - Loud and clear; - Promises; - Just my imagination; - Shattered; - Copycat; - Dying in the Sun.The Moody Blues Days of Future Passed4.0 excellentDepeche Mode The Best Of - Volume IDire Straits Love Over GoldEllie Goulding LightsEminem The Marshall Mathers LP6 very good tracks (out of 18) namely: #3 - Stan; #6 - Steve Berman (Skit) - not a song but funny and adds to the album ambience; #7 - The way I am; #8 - The real slim shady; #15 - Bitch please II; #16 - Kim - unless you're a horror movie fan, you won't play this one more than once; #11 - Marshal Mathers - does not move - it's a basic song less innovative and original than the 6 songs listed above.Fleetwood Mac RumoursGenesis The Lamb Lies Down on BroadwayThe sound is so different that, when I was a young kid and bought this record (in vinyl), after hearing a couple of times, I took the record back to the store and asked if I got a bad copy of the album. They told me the record was perfect and I persisted listening to it - to discover beautiful and exciting songs.Genesis A Trick of the TailA very good start for Phil Collins. Much better than some of previous Peter Gabriel albums (e.g. Foxtrot). Genesis Invisible TouchGipsy Kings Love songsGipsy Kings have an original sonority very appealing especially for those who can understand spanish. This album offers 7 great songs (out of 15) namely: #1 - Un amor #3 - A mi manera #6 - Quireo saber #8 - Caminando por la calle #10 - Passion #14 - Trista pena #15 - Inspiration Eventually there are other (better) albums to get an introduction to the Gipsy Kings but one cannot go wrong with this one. Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion ILenny Kravitz Greatest HitsLinkin Park Hybrid TheoryMegadeth Rust in PeaceMetallica Ride the LightningNirvana NevermindPhil Collins HitsThe only Phil Collins CD you will ever need. 9/16 great songs. Don't agree with reviewer (clairvoyant) recommended tracks. For me the "must have" are: #3 - Easy lover; #4 - You can't hurry love; #5 - Two hearts; #7 - Against all odds (also recommended by clairvoyant); #9 - Separate lives; #11 - One more night; #12 - Sussudio; #14 - A groovy kind of love; #15 - In the air tonight (also recommended by clairvoyant). Another day in paradise, for me, its just a boring song to listen no more than once per year. Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the MoonSupertramp Breakfast in AmericaThe Cure DisintegrationThe Cure Greatest HitsThe Doors The Very Best of the Doors9 masterpiece songs including: The end; riders on the storm; light my fire.The Jimi Hendrix Experience Electric LadylandVoodoo Chile is a very exciting song. In my perspective this is the best Hendrix record.The Rolling Stones Sticky FingersThe first 6 tracks are superb. The rest is average.U2 Achtung Baby"Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World" and "Who's gonna ride your wild horses" - are superb songs.U2 WarU2 Rattle and HumU2 ZooropaBabyface, Numb, Lemon and Stay justify this rating. The rest is boring.3.5 greatAlice in Chains DirtGenesis GenesisGuns N' Roses G N' R LiesIron Maiden The Number of the BeastJamiroquai Travelling Without MovingJohn Coltrane A Love SupremeRoyksopp Melody A.M.3.0 goodAC/DC Highway To HellThe first song - Highway to hell - is great. The rest of the album is poor.Billy Idol The Very Best Of Billy Idol: Idolize YourselfPacked with good songs - none of them is outstanding, though.Depeche Mode ViolatorGenesis Selling England by the PoundLed Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IIMetallica ...And Justice for AllMiles Davis Birth of the CoolAlmost boring. Godchild and Rocker songs save this album (the rest is average). My advise is: skip this one and go directly to the later (and superb) records e.g. Kind of Blue; In a Silent Way. Nas IllmaticProbably deserves more. I'm european and have a hard time following and understanding the lyrics. Clearly an album to listen more than once - and learn to appreciate.Nas STILLmaticNorah Jones Come Away with MeGood to relax having a nice wine by candle light. Good vocals and instruments (e.g. piano). May turn a tad boring as all songs offer a similar experience.Peter Gabriel CarIt is striking that the masterpiece song "Solsbury Hill" - that by itself justifies the acquisition of this record - was presented in an album full of weak and completely different songs.Pink Floyd The WallAnother brick in the wall (part 2) - saves this album. The rest is (almost) boring.Steve Miller Band Fly Like an EagleThe Beatles Abbey RoadThe Jimi Hendrix Experience Axis: Bold as LoveUnless you are collecting all Hendrix records, you should buy "Are you experienced", skip this one and then buy "Electric Ladyland". "Bold as love" is on another league - clearly not as good as the other two.The Rolling Stones Let It BleedYou can't always get what you want - makes this a good album.U2 The Joshua TreeU2 All That You Can't Leave BehindLike Elevation and a couple of other songs in the record but none is really special.U2 PopSome interesting songs but overall tends to be a boring record.U2 The Unforgettable FireU2 BoyVanessa Carlton Be Not Nobody2.5 averageBob Dylan Blood on the TracksAm I the only one to consider the vocals too bad? What about all the songs sounding the same?... "Shelter from the storm" and "Buckets of rain" are enjoyable. Dylan saved the best for lastBruce Springsteen Darkness on the Edge of TownDavid Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From MarsGenesis FoxtrotBoring. Miles away from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.Genesis Nursery CrymeGeorge Harrison All Things Must Pass (30th Anniversary Edition)Metallica Kill 'Em AllPearl Jam rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991-2003)Among 33 songs... there are only 6 tracks I like: - Light years - Last kiss - Wishlist - Betterman - Daughter - Black That wouldn't bother me if the rest of the songs were not pure noise to my ears... the vocals are plain awful... The Clash London Calling: Legacy EditionLike Spanish Bombs and a couple of other songs. The rest is poor - vocals bellow average and instrumentally plain simple (like a beginners amateur band).The Rolling Stones Beggars BanquetOnly "Sympathy For The Devil" can justify this rating. The rest is non interesting music (that, curiously, often sounds a bit country). Furthermore, and surprisingly for such a successful band, Mick Jagger voice does not deserve more than an average rating.U2 How to Dismantle an Atomic BombU2 No Line on the Horizon2.0 poorRadiohead OK ComputerSongs are complex with a different / original sound. However, I find the whole album plain boring. I don't even understand why it generates so much excitement and appraisal.Sepultura Chaos A.D.Sepultura RootsLike Ratamahatta and the bonus tracks. The rest is noise.The Rolling Stones Exile on Main St.U2 October
