Sheer Heart Attack
Queen
Best Song: Killer Queen, obvs.
Second Place: Brighton Rock - hello, guitar solo, I love you.
Best Use of Stereo: Right Here.
Honorable Mention because it doesn't fit AT ALL but I love it so so much: Bring Back Leroy Brown. May Jim Croce be remembered with the greats.
Least Fave: In the Lap of the Gods
Side note: Tenement Funster. Just, yes.

Your New Favourite Band
The Hives
I feel like I'm the edgy, not-like-other-girls heroine in an early-2000s teen movie montage.
Best Song: Here We Go Again. Would listen again unironically. Not a fave, but fun.
Most Nostalgic Song: Hate to Say I Told You So. Put this on while you're brushing your teeth to physically transform into Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You. RIP Heath Ledger.
Runner Up: The Hives Are Law, You Are Crime. Seems unfair to put the instrumental on top, but I enjoyed it the most, likely because it is literally the only song that didn't sound 100% like every other song on the album.
Overall, I didn't DISlike it, but I also didn't LIKE it, either. 3 stars? It's not good, but it's not good /in a way that I enjoy/.

Perfect Circle. I like it. Apparently not a popular opinion.
It must be a very influential album, because the sound has been recycled and bastardized quite a bit over the years.

Yessss Beach Boysssss. Noooooot my favorite Beach Boys album, as it turns out.
Don't Go Near the Water - big ol eco vibes, man I'm so glad we solved all that.
Take Good Care of Your Feet - yep.
Student Demonstration Time - favorite so far.
Till I Die - I like it.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying
Megadeth
I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this. I was processing some intense emotion at the time, though, and it's not a double, so there's that. I'm tempted to give this a 4 but I will certainly regret that, so 3 it is.
