Madman Across The Water
Elton John
Opens with a banger Tiny Dancer. Nothing after that really made a mark in my memory. I liked the parts with backing vocals.

Slightly annoying to jazzy piano in 2nd part of the title song. Other than that, nothing too memorable.

It could have not existed, and I wouldn't notice a difference. I guess it could be a good background noise for reading, but other than that, I don't see a real value here.

Devil Without A Cause
Kid Rock
Nu-metal and rap metal are not my things. Fifteen years ago, when I was starting actively listening to music, I would probably give it a 1 star. Today I was about to give it 2.
Just before I did, I wanted to read up a bit more on him, and watched the 1999 Woodstock recording of the bawitdaba. And, damn, how pure it was back then. 90s might have started the downfall of music industry, but were a hell of a decade.
Final answer: 3 stars - mostly by the comparison to today's music's lack of authenticity and enthusiasm.

At first I though "meh, another ambient electronic music album". But then the energy hit me, and I realised I was working non-stop for an hour, while shimmying in headphones by my desk. Good stuff.

Follow The Leader
Korn
I really tried but there is absolutely nothing for me to enjoy. In general I am very reluctant to giving 1-star ratings, but this gotta be my first one. I was actively waiting for this album to end.
Added later: In the second part of the album there were few moments that I liked. When they just focus on riffs, the overall style becomes bearable. But not enough to redeem the majority of the album.
