The Stooges
2/5
Meh It was fine, I liked some of the proto punk themes and sounds. But honestly the whole album just made me feel like I'd rather be listening to the Doors

Radiohead
5/5
I don't often look at reviews of new albums before I rate them myself. But seeing as I've heard this album a few times in the past, I decided to take a peek. I saw a few 1/5s. Now either these are contrarian votes, or some of the most disingenuous folks out there. For those contrarians, don't get me wrong, you have your right to engage with media in an antipodal way and not dedicate much effort in discovering your personal emotions and thoughts on a piece of media. But it's times like this we see through you. And for those who are not contrarian, and still voted it 1/5. There were no reliable qualities? None? No Surprises' melody didn't make you even raise an eyebrow? Nothing? We bow down to your heightened state of being. Truly you understand humanity better than we all can hope to, and this album gave you no pause. Now.... I'm not even sure if this is my favorite Radiohead album, and I'm not a huge Radiohead fan in general. But this album is fantastic. 5/5 didn't have to even think much about it.

The Sabres Of Paradise
1/5
I like British EDM music. LTJ Bukem, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, etc. I did not like this. I thought this was altogether far too slow. It sounded like a B Movie soundtrack. I really hate giving albums 1/5. This will be my first. I'm grateful that in 1001 albums, there are some things in the list like this, albums I'd never-ever listen to on my own that aren't just "forgotten gems". But I have to be honest. I could have gone my entire life never listening to this one. I'll never listen to it again, that's for sure. 1/5
