Black Holes and Revelations
Muse
I agree it was probably the Muse best album, thatβs not saying a lot. I found it derivative and ponderous.

Sep 27 2024
Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
Probably the best collection of songs about the music industry and the toll it takes on artists.

That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
Loaded with iconic tracks, though not all of them hit. I can see why itβs on the list.

Oct 01 2024
Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
One archetypal San Francisco sound track and two iconic Grace Slick songs surrounded by a ripoff rundown of all the best selling folk rock styles of the period. One star for being famous and a bonus star for Slickβs unmistakably genius contributions.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)
Ministry
One of my favorites from my teenage years. Canβt go wrong. If I could give it 4.5 though, Iβd dock it for a couple ponderous noise filler tracks. But they donβt seem worth a full point.

A Walk Across The Rooftops
The Blue Nile
This was a good one. I liked the feel (somewhere between Joy Division and U2) and the production quality was impressive. They could have cut down some of their songs though. The musicianship wasnβt quite enough to justify multiple 6 min + songs.
