Metallica
Honestly, Metallica just rules. They are an insanely good thrash metal band.
I'm also impressed with their lyrics. Disposable Heroes is the stand-out for me, in that regard. The instrumental song helps break up the album quite a bit, tbh. And there's a decent amount of variety in songs/style, which is usually an issue for me with Metallica.
Favorite Song(s): Master of Puppets, Disposable Heroes

Kanye West
Production on this album is insane, as everyone before me has already said. Everything sounds very intentionally crafted, and it really pays off.
It's incredible how many iconic songs from the early 2010s all come from this album.
Rating this is hard, because while the production is insane and the songs are very iconic, he's a trash human being, and I think that slips out into his lyrics every once in a while. I don't think it's a 10/10 because of that. But God damn is this a really good album. It's also just incredibly high quality from beginning to end. Even the non-hits are just really good songs.
Favorite Song(s): POWER, All of the Lights, Devil in a New Dress, Runaway

Radiohead
I'm finding that every Radiohead album doesn't really have a standout song for me. Which is more about the fact that all of the songs go so well together and are all excellent, rather than any single song being single worthy.
This one just feels like one complete idea. The album is a tapestry of songs all woven together.

George Harrison
I like George Harrison! I think he's got great musical ideas! But over 100 minutes for an album is too long! I couldn't finish this album! It would have been better if he broke it into two smaller separate albums, and he could have developed some songs more, made them more unique.
If this album is a normal respectable length it gets 3 maybe 4 stars from me.

OutKast
It's a shame that these albums are paired together, because Speakerboxxx is a 5, while The Love Below is a 1.
It took me a second to adjust to Speakerboxxx, but I was grooving and vibing to every track. There wasn't any 1 particular song that stood out, but rather the entire album was well-constructed, well-thought-out, masterfully executed, and each feature was used to elevate Big Boi, rather than take the spotlight for themselves.
The Love Below did a similar thing with its features, the issue is there's not a whole lot that's great to highlight and elevate. The album is overly repetitious and also quite a bit over sexualized. There's a time and place for that kind of musical content, but the first half of the album goes too far for me, and it ends up being a really bad first impression that never really improves.
I did like what they did with My Favorite Things. That was very good.
Favorite Song(s): Unhappy, Reset / Hey Ya, My Favorite Things
