5.0 classic
Bjork Vespertine
Heavenly. All the tracks emanate a strong feeling of peace, like if there was a choir of angels singing right next to your ears. This album is so incredibly beautiful that's almost unbelievable. All the songs grow on you, especially the highlights: "Hidden Place", "It's Not Up To You", "Pagan Poetry", "Aurora" and the perfect closer "Unison", all of wich are near perfection. If "Homogenic" was an intense, explosive album, "Vespertine" is it's opposite... a warm, calm and insanely beautiful work.
Bjork Homogenic
Just awesome. It's probably her best work to date, together with "Vespertine", with great songs and her constantly strong vocals all the way. Everyone should listen to this at least once in life and see how good her work is. All the tracks are excellent and different from each other, and the highlights are "Hunter", "Unravel", "Alarm Call", "All is Full of Love" and her most epic song till now, "Bachelorette". A great, intense experience.
Placebo Meds
This album is AMAZING. All the tracks are uniformilly good! Very, very good! "Meds", the main track from this album, is superb, and all the rest is also incridible, like "Blind" [the lyrics to this one are just simply perfect.], "Post Blue", "Pierrot the Clown" and "Infra Red". This album is definetly worth a check for everyone who likes a very deep and emotional experience.
Slipknot Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
For me, it is Slipknot's absolute masterpiece. This album is so great that I just keep listening to it over and over again. The tracks are all powerful, the lyrics are masterfully written... it shows how good Slipknot can really be. "Before I Forget", "Duality", "The Blister Exists", "Three Nil", the "Vermillion"'s and "Danger - Keep Away" are the best ones you'll find here, and probably the best one in their repertoire, IMO.

4.5 superb
Akira Yamaoka Silent Hill 2
Masterful. The tracks don't simply fit the atmosphere of the game... they MAKE that atmosphere. Depressive, beautiful and complex.
Bjork Post
Pretty awesome album from Bjork. For me, it is her most accessible work, but it still is a very experimental work. "Army of Me", "Hyperballad" and "Isobel" are some examples of great stuff you'll find here.
Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence
This album unleashes the true potential of Lana. Even though the themes kinda feel worn out (seriously Lana, you can change the subject of your songs other than older guys, money and drugs now, it's okay), everything is so beautifully realised that it doesn't really affects in a negative way. Her voice is awesome and the instrumentals are finally powerful enough to keep up with it. Excellent album from Mrs. Del Rey!
My Chemical Romance The Black Parade
MCR's best album to date. The concept is really great, the story told through the songs is very good, and the songs itself are awesome... Way's singing is better than ever, and so is the band. "Welcome to The Black Parade", "House of Wolves", "Mama" and "I Don't Love You" are the strongest tracks here, in my opinion, but this album is worth a check as whole!
Radiohead OK Computer
As the rating says, a superb album! So much emotion to the songs and lyrics, and Yorke's singing is very depressive, but gorgeous. A must hear for everyone! "Karma Police" and "No Surprises" are plain awesomeness.
Slipknot All Hope Is Gone
My second favorite album from Slipknot, this just rocks. The great majority of the tracks here are intense and the lyrics are just incridible. The highlights are "Snuff" and "Dead Memories", two of the best songs in this band's career.

4.0 excellent
Alesana The Emptiness
Pretty awesome album with heavy songs and crazy screaming. The lyrics are dark, but deep. "The Thespian" and "The Murderer" are the best ones here.
Alesana On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax
Another nice album from Alesana! I would listen this just for "Ambrosia" and "Apology", but it is great as a hole.
Bjork Debut
Her first album to be released worldwide is a great introduction to the her style. The songs are all catchy, and "Human Behaviour" is just one of the most fun and enjoying songs ever, with a direct critic to the human society... simply amazing.
Lana Del Rey Paradise
Paramore Brand New Eyes
More mature and complex than the previous album, this is just plain fun. Catchy songs, good lyrics and strong vocals from Hayley come together as a great album, and for me, their best until now.
Placebo Sleeping with Ghosts
I began listening to Placebo through this album, and I loved it. Great songs and deep lyrics. "Special Needs" is probably my second favorite song from this band... so sad and touching, but awesome!
Radiohead In Rainbows
Not as good as OK Computer for me, but is definetly another solid album from Radiohead. Also, one my favorite songs coming from them ("Jigsaw Falling Into Place") is in it.
Stone Sour Come What(ever) May
Much, MUCH better than their first record. All songs are great, and "Through Glass" sorta sums it all up brilliantly.

3.5 great
Arctic Monkeys Humbug
Bjork Medulla
A very creative album and an amazing work from Bjork, again, but it's her hardest album to listen to and understand it. But the effort put over it is admirable. Aside from some pretty different songs, there are three that I can highlight: "Oceania", "Who Is It" and "Where Is The Line".
Fiona Apple Extraordinary Machine
Creative lyrics and funny melodies, and, of course, Fiona's astonishing vocals. Not my favorite, but a great album indeed.
Paramore Riot!
Much better then AWKIF. The songs here are all great, with the exception of two tracks or so. Hayley's voice is also better and she delivers some great singing.

3.0 good
Bjork Volta
Good album, but falls short when compared to "Homogenic" and "Vespertine", for example. But there's some amazing tracks here, like the powerful and ubpeat "Earth Intruders", the dramatic "The Dull Flame of Desire", the strangely wild and epic "Wanderlust"and the sad "Pneumonia". It's an overall good experience that could have been better.
Lana Del Rey Born to Die
Slipknot Slipknot
Their debut album, for me, it's the weakest, but it's a pretty good job overall. They clearly matured over the years, but there is one unforgettable track here, called "Surfacing". Just so damn cool.
Slipknot Iowa
Another good album from them, but it's not a favorite for me. The strongest songs here are "My Plague" and the f*cking awesome "People = Shit".

2.5 average
Paramore All We Know Is Falling
Their weakest album, also their debut. Half of the songs here are pretty annoying, but there is some good stuff also, like "Emergency", "Pressure" and "My Heart". For me, they evolved a lot in the later albums... this one is just "meh".

2.0 poor
Paramore Paramore
Utterly disappointing. Bland lyrics, overly produced tunes that don't feature an identity of
their own, since they're all over the place, and Hayley's voice, for the first time, very
hit or miss (more 'miss', while we're on that). I'm okay with change, but this doesn't even
sound like Paramore, at all. Only 3 or 4 songs were good, and even those lack the punch that
this band once had, with the exception of "Part II", wich for me is absolutely awesome, and
one of their best songs up until this point - specially the chorus, wich really freaking
rules. But, in the end, that's the only moment where the album TRULY shines. I wanted to
like this, I really did, but it just left me with a bad taste.
