Queen II
Queen
From Father to Son rocked, the instrumentals were great
Love how the songs transition from one to another
Ogre battle was good
Rest of the album felt like regular queen, it was okay - I did like the transition between songs being mostly seamless
I'm still not the biggest fan of Queen, but I'd give this a 3.5 if I could

Jorge Ben Jor
Phenomenal album, great fusion of funk and notes of jazz. Album flowed so well I hardly noticed when the songs changed.
Will definitely be listening to again
Taj Mahal was a standout track

Parachutes
Coldplay
To some (or most), I assume this is an enjoyable album. The first half (up until before Yellow) was fairly tolerable, and I can't lie, I didn't mind Spies (maybe because their lead singer shuts the fuck up for some of the song).
I just can't stand Coldplay, though I completely understand why fans would love this record. For me, however, this album was painful to get through.

Bob Marley & The Wailers
I mean, who doesn't like Bob Marley? This album was great, it definitely didn't sound any different than any other Bob Marley songs, but it's always a good listen.

The Score
Fugees
How Many Mics has such a funky gangsta feel - loved that song.
Ready or not - who doesn't like that song?
The restaurant skit was funny as fuck and led straight into a bomb ass song.
This album is an absolute classic and a must-listen if you are a fan of 90's hip-hop. Easy 5.

Dare!
The Human League
We all know this is a good album. There was some boring songs midway through the album, but come on - Don't You Want Me Baby is an all time classic.

Isaac Hayes
Walk on by is such a classic sample, I never even knew this was the original record.
Honestly this album was so good until the last song, which dragged on with making random noises. I'd give this a 4 if it wasn't for the last song (which ironically is a quarter of the whole album) being such a letdown. First 3 songs rock though and this album is definitely worth a listen.

Reign In Blood
Slayer
Come on man. It's one of the best speed metal albums of all time. There's definitely a lull in the middle of the album where a lot of the songs sound similar - but Slayer just rocks. The title track is an all-time favourite.

I hate this album. This isn't coming from any bias, as I have never listened to it before, and I actually like a few Gorillaz songs - but this album is just absolute dogshit. It's inattentive, vapid, uncreative, boring, and honestly painful to listen to. I had to fight the urge to turn it off half way through.
Fuck this album.

I wrote a longer review for this but must have forgotten to save it.
Weird ass album. I enjoyed the instrumentals, the guitars and drums were great - but the fucking vocals just sounded like a Robert Plant ripoff. Secondly, what the fuck was with the oriental riff in the Bangkok song? What the fuck? I'd give this a 4 if it wasn't for the shitty vocals. It's listenable though.

Weep themselves to sleep was alright.
I'm shakin cover was decent.
Outside of that, I found this album pretty uninspiring.

American Pie
Don McLean
This album is pretty mid. I think it's one of those albums held up by the title track (which is obviously brilliant). If American Pie wasn't on this song I'd give it a 2.
