Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Arctic Monkeys
Not all songs are remarkable, but all of them are fun to listen to.
Short, energetic, kind of falling down the stairs songs, creative riffs, moments of low energy between some songs to recover.
An honest good listen. Out of 10, 7,5 with some tranquility.

Odessey And Oracle
The Zombies
60s. Psychedelia. Vocal harmonies. Short songs.
Absolutely average album. Good songs, nothing remarkable.

Hotel California
Eagles
Elements of country, 3 incredible songs and the rest are competent, but nothing overwhelming

Lost In The Dream
The War On Drugs
Elements of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and even Pink Floyd all over the record, but some songs are too long, bland and monotonous. Seems like they lost the war on drugs...
Well executed record though. 5.5/10

Fear Of Music
Talking Heads
Talking Heads is some kind of hit or miss to me. They have enough songs to fulfill a setlist or a Greatest Hits album, but the studio albuns are kinda meh.
This one, for example. Life During Wartime, Heaven and one or two more songs are hits (live, like on Stop Making Sense, BIG hits), but the rest feels like a miss to me. Thin sound, ideas that are different but not enough, etc.
Thus, for me, Speaking in Tongues is a far better record.

Paranoid
Black Sabbath
I've listened to it so many times that I can skip this pat and rate it anyway.
FIVE FUCKING STARS. ABSOLUTE BANGER.
One of the best albums of all time. There's no bad (even mid) song on this album, although Side A is STELLAR (War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan and Iron Man, one after the other), being better than Side B.
Lucky for me that I had the privilege of seeing this legends (3/4 of them, at least) live twice.
RIP Ozzy

Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
Stones at its best. Lots of blues, one of the biggest hits in the history of music, other good songs too, but nothing stellar.
The Stones aren't a band of albums, but a band of hits

If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues
You can't deny that this album sounds different. It's competently executed by the band, has some elements of punk and celtic music, but, for me, it sums up like a low budget Jethro Tull.
Ok album, but it's not a bunch of songs that I would come back to listen.

Queen II
Queen
Another one that I don't have to listen to rate. I've listened at least six times at its entirety and my impression probably will not change.
Queen II is an interesting album, mixing the heavy sound of the band's debut with operatic elements that were more refined in Sheer Heart Attack and, especially, A Night at the Opera.
Although it suffers from poor mixing (not as much as the debut, of course), there's a extremely rich sound palette to be explored here.
I personally recommend the strong start of the album, with Procession, Father to Son and White Queen (As It Began), but the whole record is pretty respectable (with the exception of, maybe, Funny How Love Is, with its endless fadeout)

Music For The Jilted Generation
The Prodigy
Great songs for a background music for workout. Some ideas here and there, but it's lengthy and tiring. Could be shortened.
As an album, I don't see much. Guess I'm not part of the jilted generation, definetly is not for me.

Fisherman's Blues
The Waterboys
Very, I mean, VERY folky. Way more melancholic (and less diddlydeediddlydoo) than The Pogues.
Still not for me

The Band
The Band
Lots of country, vocal harmonies and 'MURICA
Way too Yankee for me. And no songs that I'd come back to listen.

I Should Coco
Supergrass
Very interesting. The tempo of the songs is similar, but are short, energetic songs. Good for running, actually.
And it has Alright, a fucking banger.

The ArchAndroid
Janelle Monáe
This thing vibes. A lot. It has feeling, good songs, it's elegant. Reminds me of a mixture of Sade and Beyoncé.
Very positive surprise.

Disraeli Gears
Cream
Here, que are off to a GREAT start. Strange Brew and Sunshine of Your Love are incredible songs.
After that, the album kind of enters cruise speed.
There are some good and fun songs, like Outside Woman Blues and Tales of Brave Ulysses, and you can see why Cream were so influential and revolutionary for its time.
Do I think that this one deserves place on the list? Yes, but it's not even top 200.

Dire Straits
Dire Straits
An easy listen. Chill good rock album. One of the greatest BANGERS of all time and a couple great standout tracks.
7.8/10

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Frank Sinatra
Well... how do I start?
Sinatra is huge, Jobim is huge, I'm brazilian and must acknowledge the cultural importance of bossa nova and blah blah blah
That being said, this album is monotone and monotonous, just like 95% of bossa nova. Not by chance, it's called samba played by who can't play samba.
It lacks dynamics, some shadow and light, a big ending by the orchestra, is quiet and willing to stay out of the way of the wealthy listeners. You can picture that kind of rich businessman who listens to this in the 60's while has his breakfast reading the journal.
In other words, like some clever fella reviewed, it has some limp dick energy. Sinatra has a big, loud voice, for jazzy things, not for this.
And the Rush version for Girl From Ipanema in the 2002 concert is more fun, even though it was jokingly played.

Rejoicing In The Hands
Devendra Banhart
A Nice surprise. Listened to it in a 12k run on a light rain day, which may have influenced my feelings about this album.
It has some elements of Nick Drake's Pink Moon, such as the melancholy and the simplicity, but you can also find some pinches of The Doors, especially on There Was The Sun and Insect Eyes
Overall, a low to mid 7/10, like 7,4/10

Live / Dead
Grateful Dead
Absolute unlistenable piece of shit. Sounds like ass from top to bottom. Sloppy and unnecessary long (at least, for whom that are sober).
Not for nothing the fans of this band are described as a sect. Don't want to listen to this never ever again, even under torture.
