All Ratings
Queen
5/5
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.
The Hives
3/5
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/.
R.E.M.
3/5
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.
The Beach Boys
3/5
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.
Stevie Wonder
3/5
As it happens, I dislike double albums because I have the attention span of a goldfish.
Some real gems, some forgettable cuts.
Megadeth
3/5
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.
Iron Maiden
4/5
Better than the Megadeth album, so 4 stars.
The Prodigy

I was so certain this would be an easy 5 stars- what's not to love? Sinatra! Jobim! Bossa Nova for days! But somehow it's less than the sum of its parts. The bossa nova sounds so much less sincere in the voice of a classic crooner. I had not listened to this one before, and it's definitely not going into my regular rotation.

Much less punk than yesterday's album. Another reviewer aptly called it "the Byrds, but punk."

Was going to give 3 stars but I accidentally listened to the version that had the cover of The Rose and that was wild.

I canNOT with the skits. I'm already not a grime fan, and the skits weren't even separate tracks; they were part of the tracks with the songs. Not for me.

In fairness, it was probably pretty fresh in 1999, but all I can see now is the background to a 2004 JC Penney commercial.

I have no idea how to rate this. Conceptually, fun. I like the idea. Musically? Ehhhh....soundtracks are such a specific thing that it's almost impossible to judge one without the context of the accompanying visuals and story. It's technically fine, I just don't...care...about the music, and it's trying so hard to put a picture in your head that it actually wouldn't work super well as a soundtrack. Idk. 2 stars for exectution, 4 for ambition, so we'll go even 3.
