2472 - Okay, this is his surpassing of Off The Wall, some of the best songs of the 80s on one album with his unique synthy style.
Blows most hard rock out of the water with tight melodic playing. The only flaw is the production is a bit rougher than it should be. The later albums sound perfect. A.
Obvious masterpiece with insane production value. The opening track is probably his best song. I love the disco elements and the heavy funk bass combined with virtuoso vocals.
Probably her best album, it's shorter than previous album that had some big highlights but lulls after the A-Side, but this one keeps it shorter and is consistently great.
2867 - I didn't like this too much before, but since then I have grown an appreciation for clean vocals in metal. This takes sludge metal and fuses it with a radio friendly production to create alternative metal that still has atmosphere and grit to it. The vocals are honestly kind of incredible in this album, they do more for this album than the vocals on most pop albums, and the guitar works with them perfectly.
2583 - Production is good, so is the drumming, but the vocals and song writing are not particularly invigorating.
2599 - This is alright, but it's a very niche type of pop rock music. It's sort of like Verve but even more commercial sounding, or Blur but swagless.

2624 - The A-Side was pretty good, but after that point is falls off, feels like mostly filler.
2632 - Well produced pop rock with wonderful arrangements. The vocals are obviously some of the best of this era and it has a few of the best songs of the 70s. A
2674 - This is alright, it's pretty standard 00s britpop, but if you like that then this is up there withe early coldplay. A bit dull. C
This sounds pretty dated, like a budget Kanye album. Lupe is also the weakest element here, the beats are generally more interesting than him. There are some interesting and creative moments, although I feel like the strings on the track are more bait for the easily impressed by sampling types than strong beat themselves. I'd say this is an above average 00s hip hop album. C
Fun and bouncy acoustic rock music. B
2681 - This isn't as good as Origin of Symmetry, but it's probably their second best album. It is more eclectic and pop oriented, which I do think is a direction that works for them. B
2692 - Technically competent, but very boring. I like the country songs. C
The TPAB of Close Harmony. B
This is close to Discipline by Kc, had no idea Robert Fripp is the guitarist in Heroes. The B-Side is not as strong as the A-Side, he is doing like Low, but the ambient tracks aren't as good here. It's not as good as Low, but almost as good and one of the best rock albums. A
I enjoy this genre of music and this production style, these songs are just boring. There are a few standout tracks, the singles, but everything else is just wispy nonsense. "Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo" over and over. Shallow. D
This is respectable old school punk fused with modern alternative rock trends and production to make something radio friendly yet full of edge. However, I will rate it low from hearing it a lot as a kid. C

Raucous punk rock in the style of the Stooges. Guitars have this nice stoner fuzz to them. A
2791 - Is this a joke? I like these genres, but this guy has terrible vocals. This is like a Soulless Otis Redding. If this came out today, people would ask what headset microphone he used. This has such a high budget, yet Marvin Gaye's bathroom trips probably have a better production value than this.
2819 - It's good, but I don't love it or connect with it. It's basically Billy Joel but not as good. C
2934 - There's a lot of hits on here and this is a compelling fusion of trip hop and rock music. B
One of the best album of the 60s, amazing pop that doesn't have any of the trope of pop music that make it cliche. After hearing the Rolling Stones attempt at this genre, it's nice to hear an expert. Definetly influential in South American music. A+
Lush and pretty early synth pop music. B

Okay, this one is her best album, while some of her later albums have more interesting arrangements, having jazz elements and whatnot, this has the strongest songwriting of her career, all the songs are very sharp and better produced than the previous albums. A
Innovative post-boom bap beats that expertly uses soul samples. This has some of the best songs of his career on it, unfortunately it's not very consistent like his later albums are.
Has two undeniable hits, the rest of this sounds like a David Bowie album but not as good. Some of the songs are not that good and go over 6 minutes long. I will rate this higher than it deserves for the singles.
Relaxing breakbeat music. Loved the two samba tracks. C
Classic prog album, the A-Side is perfect, the b-side isn't as good, so it comes into the middle as an A.
2936 - That bass is delicious. Wonderful new wave pop.
Various instruments from jazz, classical and electronic are utilized to support some of the most intimate, unique pop music of the 80s. A
Pretty good debut, takes the harsh punk rock sound of the sex pistols but applies it for dissonant, atmospheric tribal music. Note that it's atmospheric because they can't play fast. C
This is like if the Strokes didn't know how to write memorable hooks and also if you hard plagiarized Bob Dylan.
Love the more punk cuts on this, decade defining sound. A
Not as perfect as the Alice in Chains unplugged, but still a very good addition for an artist with a limited discography, including some amazing covers. A
Has some good moments, but it's Steely Dan but not as good. C
Great atmospheric funk with soul vocals.
Not very consistent and too experimental without much things really grounding it. Has some amazing tracks, but not much else is too good on here besides that. B
Definitely their best album. Has career highlights in one concise length.
