Stereolab
Fun album to listen to as background music while working. I'm not a fan of indie/eletronic/french music, but this surprised me.
Favorite tracks:
* Percolator
* The Noise of Carpet
* Metronomic Underground is also good, although too long and repetitive

Beautiful album! Never heard anything from Joni before, and I loved it. Arrangements are simple but delicate, lyrics are very emotional. I can see why it is considered a vital record to music history.

Metallica
Legendary album that changed the history of metal forever. A lot of people don't like it because that's when Metallica turned to mainstream, but you can't deny the huge importance and impact this record had (and still have!).
I believe it should be a must-listen for everyone at least once in life.
Favorite tracks:
* Through The Never
* Holier Than Thou
* The God That Failed

It started with some fun songs, but it became normal and boring fast. Too "hipster" for me I guess, don't know why it earned a spot on this list.
Production of the album is good, tho.

I went to listen to this album with low expectations, was already prepared to not like it, buuuuut it was a nice surprise.
It reminded me of 50/60s music, with a lot of influence from Johnny Cash.
Overall a decent album, probably gonna listen to it some more times.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
Richard Thompson
The shortest album I heard so far, but it was the one I was most looking forward to end.
I only enjoyed the first song maybe, and it became boring after that. Not my cup of tea, I would give it 1.5/5 maximum.

Monotonous country folk rock album... There are some good tracks, but I didn't see anything special/so inovative in this record. I also thought the album is too long, with 51min. Almost lost interest before the end of it.

T. Rex
I only knew T.Rex by name, never listened to it before. With that being said, I felt completely in love this album! Every track is great!
Doing some research I found that T.Rex was a seminal band that had influence on a lot of other musicians. I think this album had a lot of influence on Bowie. Ballrooms Of Mars, for example, reminded me A LOT of the Ziggy Stardust era.
Favorite tracks:
* Buick Mackane
* Metal Guru
* Ballrooms Of Mars

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
Public Enemy
This was my first time listening to a full Public Enemy album and I really enjoyed.
Sick beats and lyrics, it was also the first time I heard the original "Bring The Noise". For some tracks it sounded a little repetitive for me (Cold Lampin' With Flavor), but nothing that really bothered. Still an awesome album.
Favorite tracks:
* Bring The Noise
* She Watches Channel Zero?! (super cool guitar riff)
* Prophets Of Rage

Great jazz fusion album. The album has only two songs (both with 19min). I loved the first one, but it took me a couple of listens to digest and enjoy the second one.
Will definitely listen more of Miles Davis.

All Hope Is Gone
Slipknot
Wow I'm surprised this album is on this list... It's one of the weakest albums from Slipknot. I'm remember when this was released in 2008, I already take some time to digest some of the songs.
From .execute. until Sulfur, it's pretty solid. Psychosocial is not one of my favorites and Dead Memories has a very cool instrumental. Then, from this part the album becomes WEIRD. Super forgettable songs.
I enjoy the ending with All Hope Is Gone and also the bonus tracks from the special edition (Child Of Burning Time and Til We Die).
Unfortunately is was also the last album to have the full lineup with Paul, Joey and Chris :(
