If it wasn't for the long silence on the last track, it would be one of the best albums.
Tool Lateralus3.5

Okay, I'll admit this aged incredibly. Pretty much invented "modern" "electronic" dance-pop.

Agh, I really want to give this a higher rating, It's so cool, but I just can't, due to many filler tracks. My favorites: Turquoise Hexagon Sun , Roygbiv , Rue the Whirl , Aquarius, Smokes Quantity

'Rundgang' should have been cut down to 1/4 of running time. Nah, never mind, Screw it, this album IS perfect.

1995
Oasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory?4.0
Great dense production. Unfortunately, The 'untitled tracks' are unnessecary. Ruins the flow.

Obituary Slowly We Rot3.0
Bolt Thrower Realm of Chaos3.0

1988
Sonic Youth Daydream Nation3.0
If you don't know, I have some beef with a lot of "long" albums. I kinda have the attention span of a squirrel when it comes to 60 or minute releases. This holds up right until it gets to the last few tracks.

I like the feel of this album, I'd rate it higher but too bad "Trip Through Your Wires" and to a lesser extent "Red Mill Mining Town" really ruin the flow, especially the former.

R.E.M. Murmur3.5
REM's debut, probably the best album from them.
The Police Synchronicity3.5
The Chameleons Script of the Bridge4.0
A "post-punk" / "goth" classic. A very washed-out sound and that famous 80's "cold" production.

1982
Michael Jackson Thriller2.5
If you don't, at the very least, somewhat enjoy the title track, you might not be human.
The Cure Pornography4.5
The Cure's darkest album. A very "cold" sound.

Genesis Selling England by the Pound3.0
Like their predecessor, they sometimes capture a sound I like, but then it gets a little too wankish, maybe it's the overt "Britishness".

There are some great moments, (Yours is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper suite) the rest is mediocre.
Mahavishnu Orchestra The Inner Mounting Flame2.5
Jethro Tull Aqualung3.0
Funkadelic Maggot Brain3.0
Peak "psychedelic funk rock" right here. THis might be the best from the P-Funk collective. Unfortunately, the last two tracks lower the rating for me.
Hawkwind In Search of Space3.0
Premiata Forneria Marconi Storia di un minuto3.0
Can Tago Mago3.5
If Aumgn and Peking O were omitted, mind you, that's nearly 30 minutes of nonsense that is skipped, otherwise, this would be higher, maybe even flawless.

1970
Grateful Dead American Beauty2.0
Amon Duul II Yeti4.0
A great psychedelic/prog from these "teutonic" giants. My only complaint is it's a bit dragged out toward the end. But still worth 4 stars.
