Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicGenesis Wind & WutheringBeautiful, and ridiculously underrated. One of my absolute favorite albums. "One for the Vine" and "Blood on the Rooftops" are particularly good. I really don't give many albums 5.0 ratings, but this one definitely earned it.Porcupine Tree In AbsentiaRadiohead Kid AIt takes you on a journey: front the cold, distant, effects-laden opener "Everything In Its Right Place", to the warm, hair-follicle-raising closer "Motion Picture Soundtrack", I can't seem to find a weakness at all. No track is particularly strong, either. The album stands as a cohesive piece of work, where every track is truthfully in its right place.Yes Close to the EdgeYes The Yes Album4.5 superbPorcupine Tree DeadwingRadiohead In RainbowsYes Relayer4.0 excellentRadiohead OK Computer'Tis a good album. "Airbag" is my favorite, and "Subterranean Homesick Alien", "Fitter Happier", "Climbing Up the Walls", and "The Tourist" also make this album for me; the rest of the songs are... well, OK, so to speak. It's really pretty overrated but it's still a good album and a pleasure to listen to, and it flows nicely. I definitely don't regret buying it!Yes Going for the OneYes Fragile3.5 greatRadiohead AmnesiacSince everyone always compares this album with Kid A, I think I'll do the same thing. Musically, the album is slightly worse, but one of the most striking things about it is the way it makes me feel. Kid A is a close, in-your-face album throughout; it elicits consternation, panic, and eventually a sense of long-lasting sense of well-being as "Motion Picture Soundtrack" draws to a close. In contrast, this album seems like it's playing from the other side of a chasm; it's distant, mostly, except in moments like "Pyramid Song" and "You and Whose Army?". And despite what everyone says, "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" is a fantastic song; it's almost frightening in all of its misty glory. When the album draws to a close, I feel almost hollow inside, and usually kind of depressed. It's an emotional journey that's very different from Kid A. Musically, I don't like it as much, but it has just as much impact.Radiohead The BendsRadiohead Hail to the ThiefCompared with all of their stuff since "The Bends", "Hail to the Thief" sounds almost light, almost poppy. OK, yes, the first song, "2+2=5", is a hard rocker, and the album's closer, "A Wolf at the Door", is as cold as ice, but listening to the album as a whole takes less concentration, and it's less involved. Here are songs that you could comfortably listen to while working, that could sit in the background. Don't let this make you think the album is boring or anything, though; far from it. While it has more weak points than the three previous albums (I could easily do without "The Gloaming" or "Myxomatosis"), it's still very complete, still brimming with creativity, and still a joy to listen to.Radiohead The King of LimbsKind of reminds me of Remain in Light, to be honest, though not quite as awesome -- but why all the dubstep comparisons? This sounds nothing like dubstep, especially because it doesn't stick to a tired old formula. Songs on this one aren't epic journeys anymore, but short and concise statements of feeling. That being said, is it a good or a bad thing? I can't say because the album doesn't decide for me -- not like Kid A, not like OK Computer.Yes Tales from Topographic OceansYes 90125
