5.0 classic
Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion
Animal Collective Strawberry Jam
Arcade Fire Neon Bible
Arcade Fire Funeral
Deerhunter Halcyon Digest
Every single second spent on listening "Halcyon Digest" is a more-than-well-spent second. From the minute it starts, to the very second it ends, the album's completely worth it. More specifically, the song that makes it all perfect, I think, is "Desire Lines", a Tom Verlaine-like psychedelic trip that'll make you want to listen it over and over again.
Interpol Turn on the Bright Lights
From the somber "[Untitled]" to the beautiful "Leif Erikson", Interpol made a brilliant debut (should I say the best of the decade?) with "Turn on the Bright Lights". The LP is an excellent myriad of dark emotions and melancholia. This is the real thing!
Joy Division Closer
A claustrophobic, unnerving, bleak and somber portrait of the band's (mostly Curtis', I think) brilliance and craft. "Closer" is an album of gothic epicness and austere magnificency. Of course, superior and more beautiful than "Unknown Pleasures".
Joy Division Unknown Pleasures
A strinking debut filled with lyrical depth and soulful sound. Dark, moody, nocturnal, an album of its own.
LCD Soundsystem Sound of Silver
Liars Sisterworld
Liars Liars

The National High Violet

The Strokes Is This It
Wilco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

4.5 superb
Arcade Fire The Suburbs
Interpol Antics
A great follow-up to one of the best debuts of the decade. Interpol managed to craft their next move wisely and fiercefully.
Pulp We Love Life
I think that "This Is Hardcore" was the party (and party hard), and "We Love Life" is the hangover and everything that comes with it. I believe this is a more than accurate say-goodbye from one of the most influential bands of the 90s.
The National Alligator
The Strokes Room on Fire
It's how The Strokes followed-up, and succesfully I must say, "Is This It". While not as functional as their debut, it sure is a heck of an amazing try-out to equal it. Real good album, I think.
Wilco Summerteeth

4.0 excellent
Arcade Fire The Arcade Fire
The Strokes Angles
While, "Angles" is not "Is This It" for the 2010s, the album is a good one from the band, getting back up from what "First Impressions of the Earth" was. Yet, to be honest, the only song I found perfect, not for its catchiness, but for its sound and because (well, yeah) it's fun and danceable is "Machu Picchu". I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but I loved the surreal lyrics and the andine-sounding music.

3.5 great
Interpol Our Love to Admire
Wilco Wilco (The Album)

2.5 average
Interpol Interpol

2.0 poor
The Strokes First Impressions of Earth
Well, as this was a kind of step down (and a let down for the fans) of the band, this album will not, actually, alienate to the non-Strokes fan, but, as even the most awful thing has its moments, "First Impressions of the Earth" is not a completely poor album, but it's a fair job from a band that could do more than that.
