5.0 classic
Arcade Fire Funeral
Certainly the best album in past decade, AF shows in a unique time, timeless rock, hot indie rock, a supoerficial gothic face, emotional landscapes, cult clichès and the best GOOD MUSIC.
Arcade Fire Neon Bible
Funeral may seem a classic stupidly high alternative work, but in Neon Bible they show a "highly artistic soul." When Win Buttler sings - "my body is a cage, that keeps me from dancing with the one i love, but my mind hold the key" - You can already imagine what is coming, in my case Nwon Bible save from a deeply sad time so i have a special care for this, i mean, you can say this is bad because the power rock hard drums of "Keep the Car Running" and the symphonic final of "Ocean of Noise" just show us that AF can be called; The Band of the Decade.
Kate Bush Hounds of Love
Kate Bush The Dreaming
MGMT Oracular Spectacular
The Birthday Massacre Walking With Strangers
Is easy to say WHY this is a classic, simply, the bands here meets the grace with artistic ambition, remembering in points The Cure's Disintegration with strong solos, in others just re-make their old song into a pop cloud with a black cotton skin. Just liten to "Kill the Lights" and after the classic "Red Stars" and you will understand my point.
The Cardigans Long Gone Before Daylight
The Cure Disintegration
The Smiths The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths Meat Is Murder
The Verve Urban Hymns
Certainly better than Oasis What's The Story or Blur's Parklife, music with soul and maturity not fad and just marketing. This is Urban Hymns the best album in 90's.

4.5 superb
Arcade Fire The Suburbs
I read some reviews that are talking about the continuous of Af sonority, in The Suburbs the band just continued the art that they maked, but without the dark weight of NB or the classicism of Funeral, maybe from ten or fifteen years this can be a classic too but now in it's time it's just amazing fabulous, my first impression with this was bad maybe because the LP type of sound but the first pearl here to get my attention was the beautiful "Wasted Hours" with a charm folk and beautiful lyric demand, after this i star to listen more and more suburbs ultil now i habe the album and i can say "I love It", the supreme sound of "City with No Children" and the post avant-garde alternative anthem "Deep Blue" makes me more and more addicted to the idea that Arcade Fire can't make something wrong even this is their third work yet.

4.0 excellent
The Birthday Massacre Violet
Following their Album/EP debut the band shows more synthrock-electronic-fantasy-theatral music style but now more mellow and well-interpreted, check out "Lovers End" or the beautiful "Holiday".
The Birthday Massacre Pins and Needles
I can't say they change, because they ins't but the band on Pins and Needls shows more maturity in front of the record showing in certain times heavy guitar riffs, and other just a mix of a bubblegum pop song with new wabe experimentations, you habe here the two sides of TBM discography; the "angry" industrial face of Blue (from Violet) on "In the Dark", "Control", "Shallow Grave" (with a such black-humor poetry) or the sweet nostalgic musics like "Holiday" in moments like in the brilliant instant TBM classic "Pale", the album title too or the provocative dark-fantasy "Always". Altogether the band makes another high work and we hope they stay this way in the next records.
The Cardigans Emmerdale
The Cardigans First Band on the Moon
The Cure The Head on the Door

3.5 great
Kate Bush Aerial
Kate Bush The Sensual World
Kate Bush The Kick Inside
The Birthday Massacre Nothing and Nowhere
Nothing And Nowhere was the beggining for a type o sonority that maybe TBM maked, behind the synth and the escapism (that is nothing new) the band shows a interesting creativty when they mixes goth-fantasy-poetry with pop-rock-new wabe type of sound, they're not gothic, i think they are The Birthday Massacre a unlabel stuff with magical songs and purple dreams.
The Cardigans Life
The Cardigans Gran Turismo
The Smiths The Smiths

3.0 good
Kate Bush Never for Ever
Kate Bush The Red Shoes
Oasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
The Cardigans Super Extra Gravity
The Smiths Strangeways, Here We Come

2.5 average
Blur Parklife
The Cure Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me

2.0 poor
The Cure Seventeen Seconds
