The Flaming Lips
The instruments sound great. The background effects and instruments sound great. The vocals and lyrics are blahhhh. It's a very forgettable album that I feel like could have been so much more with better vocals.

Billy Joel
I've never really been one to love Billy Joel. Apparently his career is a bit tainted by his works in the 80s, which don't feel nearly as good as this album. I think this album has changed my mind on Billy a good bit. It's great, front to back. Lyrically, musically, pacing, it's a near-masterpiece. An easy listen with a decent variety, this album really proves that Billy Joel deserves the respect and fame that he has earned.

Soundgarden
What a heavy hitter. For me, this is the peak album of the early 90s grunge era. It's got the heavy guitars. It's got the dark lyrics. Soundgarden really was at their peak right here. Matt kills the drum parts. Ben nails the driving bass lines. Kim lays down some real slick guitar riffs. Chris just gives it all on the vocals and holds down the rhythm.

ABBA
My father-in-law really enjoys Abba. I've listened to a bunch of their albums, but they've always been albums that have one or two hits on them. I had never listened to The Visitors, and am now a bit upset that I had been missing out. A real gem of an album. Still a fun Abba sound, but a bit more mature than their earlier stuff.

Astor Piazzolla
I'm very torn on this album. There are moments of pure beauty where everything comes together and sounds wonderful. Then there are moments that sound like a carnival. I think leaving it at a middle-of-the-road 3-stars is fair here due to its highs and lows.
