Toys In The Attic
Aerosmith
Bluesy, hard rock. Heavy metal influence/ innovation. The title track has a motorhead feel but a few years earlier. Better than expected but nothing truly stand out. Adequate.
Highlights: walk this way. Toys in the attic. You see me crying.

Achtung Baby
U2
Great production. The tones all sound great. Very pleasant to listen to sonically. But it's boring. And monotonous.
Okay second half and coffee. It's got some variety and soul. I wanna dislike it for bono but it's got some good tunes.
First take highlights: so cruel. Love is blindness.

Hail To the Thief
Radiohead
The raindrops. The raindrops. The raindrops. The raindrops. The raindrops. The raindrops. The raindrops. The raindrops.
An album to help put food on your family. Radiohead's love letter to the bush administration. Great sounds. Some of the bands best songs are here. A bit of filler that prevents it from being thought of with kid A or ok computer, but a strong album nonetheless.
Highlights: 2+2=5. sit down stand up.

Under Construction
Missy Elliott
Damn really strong start. The first four tracks are all great. The Jay-Z song isn't as strong but still good. Pussycat is a song. Sounds like a Lauren hill love song but about pussy. Then a real love song with Beyonce. Heartbreaking final song. This was great.
Highlights: gossip folks. Can you hear me

The Boatman's Call

Channeling Cohen, some somber love songs to start. West country girl takes things a bit heavier traditional nick cave style.

Another album I wanted to hate that was actually surprisingly worthwhile. This probably deserves a second listen.

Parallel Lines
Blondie
Aww yeeee. You know heart of glass. You know one way or another. That's all there is, right. That's all this has to offer.
Wrong. False. This is solid start to finish. With diverse genres and fun everywhere. Picture this, hanging on the telephone and pretty baby deserve the airplay just as much as the ones that did get it.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Wilco
Wilco's masterpiece. Beautiful tones on the instruments. Soulful solemn start: I am trying to break your heart and radio cure. Kamera and war on war lighten things up a little. And then comes Jesus, ect and youre trying not to cry. Might be their best song. Ashes of American flags finishes the first half with another tear jerk.
The second half is much more upbeat. The trio of heavy metal drummer, I'm there man who loves you and pot kettle black builds up a lot of energy. Then poor places shatters it for the finale, reservations, a last heartfelt push.
It's a great album

I don't know why I expected this to be 80s glam metal. This is legit metal. First four are a bit similar, expect breaking the law, which is actually more glammy pop metal, but I don't mind because it's fun anthem.
United is also more glam pop metal ballad and is the only low point so far. Jarring to go from "breaking the law, breaking the law" to "united united united we stand". Lame, anyways.
The second half gets more power arena metal but it's happening years before that style gets over done. And there's a couple last
Surprisingly good. Some tracks don't hold up but I'm going to listen to this again.

Out of the 100 albums on this list I've gotten so far, this is without a doubt the best one that was completely off my radar beforehand. I mean to reserve a 5 for albums that are legendary. Is this legendary? Maybe, probably not, but it's been so long since I've heard an album and immediately wanted to listen to it all over again that I have to give this a top score.

Surf's Up

What an odd album. It's got:
Environmental songs that sound like they were written by someone who just learned about the issue impress some hippie girl.
A heavy metal inspired blues song about protesting that asks the question, ”maybe don't?"
And some left overs from pet sounds at the end to make wish you were listening to a better album.
A curiosity but not much more.
