5.0 classic
Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies
David Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
Great review of a great record. This album displays Bowie's vocal versatility; despite his deep baritone, he can alter his voice so that it resembles a thin tenor. In addition to being an underrated songwriter, I think Bowie is an underrated vocalist.
Deep Purple Machine Head
Jimmy Cliff The Harder They Come OST
Living Colour Vivid
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus
Nirvana In Utero
Tom Waits Heartattack and Vine
Tom Waits Mule Variations
Tom Waits Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards

4.5 superb
David Bowie The Next Day
Easily bowie's best since "Earthling." Might be on par, or slightly below, the Berlin years.
David Bowie Blackstar
This is the return that "The Next Day" was supposed to be. His most experimental effort since 1995's "Outside" is not without flaws, but is an overall more satisfying album than its three predecessors.
Ed Schrader's Music Beat Riddles
Frank Zappa Joe's Garage
Heaven and Hell Neon Nights: 30 Years of Heaven and Hell - Live at Wacken
Nick Drake Pink Moon
Beautiful, melancholic, strangely uplifting. Drake was a genius with a very distinctive voice.
Oliva Raise The Curtain
Ozzy Osbourne Blizzard of Ozz
Savatage Streets: A Rock Opera

Frank Zappa You Are What You Is
Frank Zappa Civilization, Phaze III
Heaven and Hell The Devil You Know
Jon Oliva's Pain Maniacal Renderings
Marilyn Manson The Pale Emperor
The most shocking thing about it is how much it didn't suck. Manson's most solid effort since his early period.
Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine
Ozzy Osbourne Diary of a Madman
Savatage Handful of Rain
Savatage Poets and Madmen
Soundgarden Superunknown
Tom Waits Alice

3.0 good
Alice Cooper Dirty Diamonds
Alice Cooper Trash
Alice Cooper The Eyes Of Alice Cooper
Alice in Chains Black Gives Way to Blue
Brett Dennen So Much More
Crimson Glory Crimson Glory
Frank Zappa Jazz From Hell
Hooverphonic Presents Jackie Cane
"Jackie Cane" has some great songs and a lot of filler.
Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell
It's good, silly, schlocky fun, and in some ways a forerunner of sleaze rock.
Nick Drake Five Leaves Left
Ozzy Osbourne Speak of the Devil
Savatage The Wake of Magellan
Savatage Edge of Thorns
Soundgarden Badmotorfinger
Tom Waits Franks Wild Years

2.5 average
Alice Cooper Along Came a Spider
Alice Cooper Welcome 2 My Nightmare
I overrated it initially, because I'm a fanboy. But if I'm completely honest, it's a pretty bad album.
Circle II Circle The Middle Of Nowhere
Circle II Circle Delusions Of Grandeur
Jon Oliva's Pain 'Tage Mahal
Decent, but not one of Oliva's stronger releases.
Jon Oliva's Pain Festival
The problem with this album is that it doesn't do much to distinguish itself from the rest of the Jon Oliva catalog. You've got heavy metal song, ballad, heavy metal song, ballad... Come on, Oliva. You're better than that.
Marilyn Manson Heaven Upside Down
Manson has stagnated as an artist. It's not unlistenable, but a lot of the lyrics are cringeworthy, like something you'd find in a high schooler's diary. His persona will need to evolve, and he'll need to find some new material to draw on for inspiration, if he hopes to have any staying power,
Ozzy Osbourne Scream
To be fair, it's his best album in a long time. Not saying much, though. Tracks like "Let It Die" and "Scream" are catchy, though generic, and the rest of it is a hodge-podge of stuff we've heard before from Ozzy.
Savatage Dead Winter Dead

2.0 poor
Avantasia Angel of Babylon
Certainly not their strongest effort. The only memorable song is "Death is Just A Feeling", and that one is only saved because of Jon Oliva's terrific performance; the song itself is just a retread of The Scarecrow's "The Toymaster."
Circle II Circle Burden Of Truth
Circle II Circle Consequence Of Power

1.5 very poor
Circle II Circle Seasons Will Fall
A surprisingly unremarkable slosh pile of bad lyrics and pedestrian songwriting from a talented group of musicians.
Harry Styles Harry Styles
Nope. It's embarrassing how pretentious he is - he is not Bowie. Never will be.
Marilyn Manson Born Villain
The lyrics are awful ("Do you think I asked for this/let me show you what I think of your lips?" And not even all the processing on the vocals can make up for his trashed voice. It's pretty painful to listen to.

1.0 awful
Black Veil Brides Wretched and Divine
Generic garbage. Nickleback vocals. Motley Crew image. Gross.
Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell Live
The reviewer must be a die hard Meat Loaf fan. Anyone else listening to this album would hear an old man who lost his voice in the 80s. Seriously, this is embarrassing to Meat Loaf.
Meat Loaf Bat Out of Hell III
"Bad for Good"rNo. Just bad. I don't get why people call Meat a powerhouse either. Maybe he used to be, but he's just awful now.
Murderdolls Beyond The Valley of the Murderdolls
Murderdolls Women and Children Last
One Direction Up All Night
Good review of an awful album. My sister is right in the target demographic. Bieberfever has died down for her, but now she's all about these five corporate-manufactured goons.
Owl City Of June
Fantastic review, but the album is awful, in my opinion. Maybe it was just killed for me by repeated play on the radio...
