| Airbag Identity | 4.0 |
| If the next album sounds a bit more like Airbag a little less like their idols then we have something great to come.rI can only give 4 for this superb album. It sounds so god d... good. This is Pink Floud territory. Im not kidding when I say that 5 or 6 of the songs on this album would blend in fine if Pink Floyds DSOTM or WYWH were double albums and these songs were put in.rThe sound and guitar is so much mid 70 pink Floyd that it can be. rAnd though its not at all copy it is still a bit too much like their idols.rBut the next album......I cant wait. |
| Alias Eye Field of Names | 4.0 |
| This is like Bon Jovi meets Savatage meets Dream Theater. Very talented band and great music. The guitar - both rhythm and lead - is great all over the album. A 4 rating is really too low. But a 4.5 rating is a little to much. |

| David Bowie Reality | 4.0 |
| Heathen was neo classic Bowie deep rooted in 70s Bowie albums. Reality is more rooted in period Low to Scary Monsters. That combined with a very modern 00's sound, production and song composition makes Reality the most interesting and modern Bowie album since Scary Monsters. Only reason for not getting a higher rating is that though there are many good songs on the album there too few monster songs/outstanding songs on it. With just a little bit better songs in average and 2 or 3 monster songs on it Reality could have been one of best albums. |
| David Bowie Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) | 5.0 |
| David Bowie Let's Dance | 3.5 |
| David Bowie Tonight | 2.5 |
| Let's Dance light. Nothing special. Blue Jean is a good track. Tonight and God Only Knows are okay tracks. The rest is sub-standard Bowie material. |
| David Bowie Never Let Me Down | 2.0 |
| Bowies worst album. Nothing good here. Makes one wonder why Bowie made such an album. And so too wonders Bowie years later. |
| David Bowie Hours | 3.5 |
| First half is a 4 rating. Second half a 3 rating. Really like the first half where Bowie both sound a little like old times and at the same time crafts new music on the old pedigry. |
| David Bowie Heathen | 4.0 |
| David Bowie Young Americans | 3.5 |
| David Bowie BBC Radio Theatre: London June 27, 2000 | 4.5 |
| Very, very strong live album from Bowie. The set list is great and spands most of his career. The performance is much like how a "Scary Monster Tour" could have sounded like. In other words a rich layered musis with rock/hard rock in the center and krautrock, electronica, funk, pop, prog, disco and avantagarde music around that. Very strong performances. The guitar is strong and rocky. |
| David Gilmour Live in Gdansk | 4.5 |
| Gilmour is on fire on this album. Not all - but most - off the Pink Floyd are very very good versions. Pompeii's version of Echoes is classic. But this really is even better. Fantastic live albums. Only reason for not giving it a 5 rating is the Gilmours songs from On an Island that are okay good but near as strong af the PF-songs. |

| One of the best live albums of the 80. And some of their best tunes are on it. Classic album. |
| East River Pipe The Gasoline Age | 4.0 |
| A really great indie album. Dreamy and warm (in sound and melody).rI cant get enough of the tune Astrofarm. That song alone is worth all the money for the whole album.rBuy it if you like dreamy indie. |
| Eloy Dawn | 4.0 |
| Good space rock. Not as "big" as Pink Floyd in sound and not as wild as Hackwind. More focused. First half is strong. Second half a little weaker. |

| Quality 80s pop. Nothing like the old prog Genesis. Maybe because of their history the get punishment for making a pop album. Because this is an album better than 3. |

| Sound a little outdated today with its southern hard glam rock style. But good tunes and good guitar loads of places. Better than Once Bitten... More good songs on this one. |
| Great White Once Bitten.... | 3.5 |
| Great White Hooked | 4.0 |
| Great White's most mature and serious album. Trying to sound like themselves and still sounding like at mature big rock band. Good effort. Maybe their best album. |
| Great White Psycho City | 3.5 |
| Sounds more like Twice Shy than Hooked. Not that ambitious. A straight forward southern glam hard rock album. Good but nothing that great. |

| Jeff Beck Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop | 4.0 |
| Some of Becks most delicate guitar work are on this album. Not using a pick since about 1980 he is fingerpicking here. That + looking for crazy harmonics + stunning controll over the whammy bar makes his phrasing on this album out of this world. |

| Kingston Wall Kingston Wall II | 4.5 |

| Madrugada Industrial Silence | 4.0 |
| A bit too all songs sound alike. But besides that a very good record. A bit of Chris Isaak, a bit of Jim Morrison, a bit of country, a bit of Springsteen and then some alt rock and indie pop.rThe songs Vocal and Shining are near classic in quality. |
| Madrugada Live at Tralfamadore | 4.5 |
| Madrugada is a band who play even better live than on their studio albums. This album shows that. The Musicians (and singer) in the band show how very talented they were (the guitarist is now dead and the band has split up 2 years ago).rMadrugada is best described asrMusic with deep roots in The Doors, The Gun Club, REM, Chris Isaak, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen combined with everything good you can find i indie music and alt rock.rOnly one "good" song on the album......the rest is very good or better. |
| Madrugada The Deep end | 4.0 |
| This could easily have been a 4.5 rating. But there are some only average songs on the album. Had these been cut out then I would give it more. There are super songe, melodies and music on this album. |
| Madrugada Madrugada | 4.0 |
| Hard one to call. The music is maybe Madrugadas best music. But there is a little lack of really great melodies (like they use to have in spades) and "big" songs (like Majesty, Vocal or Sail Away). Have these been here, then this would have been a 4.5 and maybe even 5. |
| Madrugada Nightly disease | 4.5 |
| Dont know why this is a low(er) rating album from Madrugada. For me it is their best album. Their debut album have better songs and their latest album maybe have thier best music. But this one isent far behind either and the combo makes it the best. |
| Madrugada Grit | 3.5 |
| Madrugada's - only a little - weak album. Still okay but not that many great songs on it. There however Majesty and that one is a masterpiece. Another good song is I Don't Fit. Besides that then this is their most "rocky" album. |

| Call it a Pink Floyd light album. Clear inspiration from PFs Meddle-WYWH period. Bug also some hints from King Crimson and Magma.rSome few weaker songs......but most songs pretty good.....though still a bit "light" compared to the inspirations. |
| Neil Young On the Beach | 4.5 |

| Neil Young Freedom | 4.0 |
| Great album. Many strong songs. Favorite tune is the masterpeice Crime in the City. |
| Neil Young Tonight's the Night | 4.5 |
| Neil Young Ragged Glory | 4.0 |
| Half the songs (Country Home, F*!#in' Up, Mansion on the Hill, Love and Only Love) are to rating 4.5. But the other half id just a little below par to make it a 4.5 album. But at its best Ragged Glory is classic young-magic. |
| Neil Young Sleeps with Angels | 4.5 |
| Most be Youngs most underrated album. The 3 last tunes is not that great (medium). But the rest of album is very, very, very strong. And then a rare thing: On this album Young both sound like him self and contemporary (album from 1994). Young was contemporary in the 70s. But doing the 80s and 90s he sound dated (of cause almost old legends sound dated the newer the material are). But not on this album. It have a very alt. rock/grunge sound to it that really fit the album.rAnd leaving the last 3 songs for them selves, then the rest of the album have great songes on it. |
| Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps | 4.5 |
| Neil Young Zuma | 4.0 |

| Oceansize Frames | 4.5 |
| Opeth Damnation | 4.5 |

| For people who like heavy prog this should be a good album. For me the melodies were a bit weak. And with not super melodies I do not often give a lot i rating. |
| OSI Office of Strategic Influence | 3.5 |
Had hoped for more. Easy to hear that is well composed music og pretty high standard. And
there are very good moments on this album. But mostly it never really grew on me. But still
a good listen. |
| Ozric Tentacles Jurassic Shift | 4.5 |
| Amazing. Sound almost like nothing else I've listen to before. Psychedelic - yes. Space rock - yes. But also electronica, 80's british underground and dance rhythms. Very good. Very interesting. |

| Small 5 rating. Only reason for "only" a small 5 is that the setlist is not near perfect. Allright setlist but not the best. But the tunes that they play are so damn good. Almost every track is near perfection. Love this album. |

| Sigur Ros Agætis byrjun | 4.0 |
| Sigur Ros ( ) | 4.5 |
| Simple Minds Live in the City of Light | 4.0 |
| Sounds a little bit outdated in style and a bit wrong produced/mixed/edited. But good live performances of many of SMs best songs. There good moments on this record if you can live with 80s style and production. |
| Simple Minds Street Fighting Years | 3.5 |
| Good album. Some fillers. But the best songs (Street Fighting Years, Mandela Day, Belfast Child and Biko) is almost as classic pop-rock tunes as it can be from around the late 80s. Forget the boring songs and enjoy the above songs and you are in fine pop-rock. |
| Sindre Hunsbedt Refraction | 4.0 |
| Debut album. Very good album. Hunsbedt is influenzed by Johnny Cash, Jeff Buckley, A-ha, U2, Metallica and Pink Floyd.... and in some well made alternative rock setup then the album sounds like a good mix of these bands and artists. |

| The Black Noodle Project Ready to Go | 4.0 |
| A little 4 rating. That its not a big 4 rating is due to the fact that there are some less inspiring tracks on this album. But the best ones are very strong songs. Songs like: Ready to Go part I and II, We've Let You Go, The One and The World We Live in are all very good. |
| The Church Priest=Aura | 3.5 |
| I mostly like the post 80s Church albums. Thier 80s is more twang guitar soft rock. This album though........in lack of a better word to explain their sound (typical a blend of twang guitar, 70s rock, post punk, mainstream 80s rock, ambient, epic, progressive) I would call this album quite "alternative rock" sounding. For me too many average tunes. But Dome, Feel and Mistriss are very good songs. |
| The Church Uninvited Like the Clouds | 4.0 |
| Midway through this album I was leaning to a 4.5 rating. But secound half have just a bit too many only medium above average songs. So only a 4 rating album. The style on this album is new to The Church. And by new I mean new. Its fresh and modern. Harder than normal. Up to 7th song (Pure Chance) there are only great songs. I like them all. |
| The Church After Everything Now This | 4.0 |
| Excelent album. Really like the style on this album. The sound is dark ambient drone rock. The two longer tracks at the end is a little disappointing. But the rest are great songs. I really like Numbers, The Awful Ache, Song For The Asking and Repieve. Those a really strong tunes. |
| The Church Hologram of Baal | 3.5 |
Would like to give it more than 3.5. But the second half of the album is at bit boring. The
first half is great and close to 4.5 (but only close....my rating here is 4). What is The
Church? Hard to explaine. But without sounding anything like them then they are like a 75 %
working Pink Floyd (without Gilmour solos) and 75 % working U2. They are pop, rock,
progressive, ambient, alt rock at the same time but always backing of a bit too much on all
parts. |
| The Church Forget Yourself | 4.0 |
Very good album. With just a 1 or 2 really outstanding songs this would be an easy 4.5
rating. Its hard to descripe how The Church Sound. This also because they have changed their
sound many times in their 30 years life. But maybe this will help: Take twangy guitars
(think The Byrd) add classic rock (think Lou Reed, David Bowie and (semi) Pink Floyd) add
80s mainstream rock (think Simple Minds, U2) add some "epic" ambitions add some semi prog
add some pure pop add some ambient music. That could be "the average Church sound".This
album is mostly ambient cool dreamy pop with a touch of prog. No songs are classics but
almost all songs are good or better. |
| The Church Magician Among the Spirits | 3.5 |
| Good but not essential Church album. Too many songs is just not above medium. But there are great songs on this album. I really like: Welcome, Grandiose and The Further Adventures of the Time Being. The "big" (almost 15 minuts) Magician Among the Spirits is the albums center piece. Though okay and enjoyable then this is not as good as one would hope for being the title track and almost 15 min long. |
| The Church Untitled #23 | 4.0 |
| Together with Uninvited Like The Clouds the stronest Church album the last 20 years. The sound of this album is more like Forget Yourself than Uninvited. Dreamy pop with a little more indie touch than Forget Yourself. As always with The Church there are some only a little above average songs on the album and because of that yet again with do not have a 4.5 album.rSuper tunes on this album is: Cobalt Blue, On Angel Street and Sunken Sun.rSunken Sun have an almost floydian touch to it. |
