It worries me he keeps specify 'human' hands. Something you want to tell us Mr. Costello?
I wasn't blown away by this album, but while listening to it I caught myself bobbing my head several times, so clearly I enjoyed it. Because there were no songs that stood out exceptionally to me, I'll give this a 3, but I'd rather give it a 3.5.

3 stars. I do not feel like I need to listen to this album again.
I think that the album touches several different styles with different songs. For example, comparing Milk and Only Happy When It Rains.
To me this does a great job capturing the start of the female lead soft punk/pop bands that developed in the mid 90's. This band fills a similar niche to No Doubt (with Gwen Stefani), but doesn't do nearly as good a job.

China is a ridiculous song and I still can't figure out what is going on in it. I love it.
The album has so many different sounds with each different song and I liked a lot of them. The lyrics were strange and surreal some times, but I always enjoyed the story told.
4 stars, I would like to listen to this again some day.

This was such a solid album. I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed it and I look forward to listening to it again later.
From the lyrics along, I really couldn't figure out if Mr. Newman was for or against religion, or perhaps specifically against organized religion? I really started to questions things at God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind). I may have to listen to the album a few times before I understand.

Sound of Silver
LCD Soundsystem
Great album. The instrumental music is instrument and the almost discordant vocals make the songs sound unique and interesting. All wrapped up nicely with the final song, which is just a classic.
I enjoy music which speaks about things other than than cliche topics, LCD Soundsystem definitely does that.

This album is very nostalgic for me. So, I may have a bias here.
I think this album is all over the place in a wonderful way. There isn't a cohesive story or even sound. It makes each new song refreshing compared to the previous. The messages and themes in the song are always worth looking at the lyrics for.

I enjoyed the beginning of this album, and it was even a possible 4 stars for me. But then by the end of the (very long) album it felt like the artist was just making noises at me.
I want to justify giving this a 2 with the analogy of an artist painting a beautiful painting and then finger painting all over it with the remaining of the paint on their pallet.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Don't get me wrong. Sweet Dreams (the song) is a solid 5/5, but this rating is about the entire album, and the rest of the album was rather bland to me. I won't let a single song carry the album's rating.

I cannot state why this is a 5 stars enough.
Everything about this album is a 5 to me. The thematic story the whole way through, the amazing instrumentals, the real life context, just everything. I knew we were going to get to this album eventually and I was just so happy to see it yesterday.
This was one of the first albums a good friend of mine recommended I listed to all the way through, before that I just listened to singles. Discovering that albums can be crafted to tell a story changed my view on music and how it should be listened to. Good albums are a work of art and this is a masterpiece.
The themes in this album range from toxic relationships, drug abuse, mental illness, etc., and I find it so interesting to hear how Roger Waters describes each of these in turn.

There were some good parts to this album. I particularly liked Amelia, and some part of Lorelei. But on the whole I felt like this album tried too hard to hit a particular style. The combination of overly dreamy music and forward vocals, paired with harmonic background vocals, and (in my opinion) overly strong drums made for a not so pleasant listen.

This album had SO many sounds of the 90's. Whether it was the bells and whistles found in Don't Fight it, Feel it or the media samples used in Loaded. The pure variety of styles shown throughout the album was impressive. The album lost me a bit during the Higher Than the Sun (A Dub Symphony in Two Parts) though.

Similar to my review for Bad Company, this album had a lot of classics and was an enjoyable listen.

This album falls into a genre characterized by distorted guitars, 'dreamy' vocals, and feedback. But that doesn't excuse an unrefined sound and overly hollow lyrics. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but I mostly just heard noise from this album.

Hot Fuss
The Killers
I had no idea that this album told a story at all. Does that make it a rock opera? Either way, this album is full of hits, but now that I know there is an on going character story behind the songs, this is one of my favorite albums.

Dust
Screaming Trees
This a solid rock album very representative of the alt-rock almost grunge genre popular at the time. I had a good time listening to the album, but I wasn't drawn towards any song in particular.

Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
Perfect album if you want to feel like you're in a coffee shop working on the next assignment for your digital arts class.
Not my favorite genre of music, but definitely a good listen.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine
Cee Lo Green
It just sort of reminds me of someone singing in the bathroom, but a nice background track. I'm just not not that into it.

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
I think this album really stayed true to its sound all the way through. I personally felt Run to the Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name were more impressive than the title song The Number Of The Beast. This isn't my favorite genre lyrically, but who doesn't love an awesome guitar riff?

Paul's Boutique
Beastie Boys
"Humpty dumpty was a big fat egg". What a fun and unique album. Definitely embodies a unique sound of the 80's.

Green Onions
Booker T. & The MG's
This album defined the sound of soul rock from the south (or at least near Memphis). A real classic and an enjoyable listen.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road
Lucinda Williams
This album wasn't for me. I'm not sure what I'm missing but it didn't strike me as overly impressive. It sounded a bit like bar karaoke.

Oedipus Schmoedipus
Barry Adamson
I usually enjoy experimental albums, especially if they're written with some over-arching story and them in mind. Unfortunately, I think this album takes the experimental side of things too far. The songs feel so disjointed that the theme/story were lost to me, which made it hard for me to listen to the discordant sounds of some of the songs.
I think experimental albums are fun and interesting. But I don't believe at all this is an album someone has to listen to before they die.

Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
Every song on the is enjoyable and fun. However, I don't see myself going back to listen to the full album in the future.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse
Faces
I can't believe this album was made by a British rock group. It sounds absolutely like an early rock album from the US south.

Music For The Jilted Generation
The Prodigy
Maybe I'm missing the historical context of this album, but the album doesn't sound particularly unique within the genre.

Bad
Michael Jackson
Although Michael Jackson is the undisputed king, not every song in this album is favorite. So I can't give this album a five.

Better Living Through Chemistry
Fatboy Slim
This is a rather solid album that. It embodies the sound of 90s electronic music and the Fatboy Slim sound. I think Fatboy Slim's next album is way more iconic, but this album is still good.

Lady In Satin
Billie Holiday
I feel like this album was not one of Billie Holiday's best. Her voice wasn't as smooth as it once was (which maybe sounds better to some people), but more importantly I felt every song was the same slow drawn out melancholy sound. Its a good sound but I got over it after seven songs.

I really enjoyed this album. It was eclectic for sure, but I liked where it went. I was pretty hooked from the first "I will find out".

Smile
Brian Wilson
This album obviously has the sounds and charm of a Beach Boys album, but the lyrics are something else. There are large religious themes through many of the songs, but also one of the songs is about organic vegetables. Its definitely a fun album with some interesting messages throughout.

I'm a bit biased since I like Beach House so much.
This isn't my favorite album of theirs, but I really do enjoy it.

Big Star
Honestly this was a really solid album.
It's really clear how much this group pulled inspiration from British rock groups like the Beatles, but also how their unique sounds went out to inspire classic rock groups like Boston and the future alternative rock genre itself.

Bayou Country
Creedence Clearwater Revival
I love CCR, but this is not one of their best albums in my opinion. Proud Mary is obviously great, but I don't think the other songs hold quite the same weight.

I just really don't like Pearl Jam. And I know that's a me problem, but it doesn't make me like their music any more.
That being said, this was a solid rock album that I'm sure others enjoy a lot.
