The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
Already at the first song "Invaders", it has some old school heavy metal vibe. Considering that I've listened to Metallica in the past, it has some genre similarity. Not exactly the same, but in the same ballpark range. Considering I don't listen to metal music anymore, It's not too annoying yet not too bad. As I thought, as I listen to "Children of the Damned" it has audible similarity to Metallica's song. With maybe a slightly it's own unique twist of metal. So far, the 2nd song is really good. 3rd song sounds like the last 2 songs, with somewhat repetitive patterns in sound which is not something I really like. 4th song, already sounds better than the previous ones. Sounds more original, and not too bad. 5th track sounds pretty good overall. 6th song sounds very good already at the start, if a bit noisy. Not too bad. 7th song sounds quite okay, with some similarities to some of the other first songs in the album with some of it's own spark. 8th and last song already starts to sound like funeral vibes, and then progresses to something more epic and better. Overall the best song in the album so far in my opinion. If I had to rate the album, it would be a 6/10.

Seventeen Seconds
The Cure
First song "A Reflection" already starts quite haunting yet interesting, nothing more. Second song "Play For Today" sounds quite better and more interesting, reminiscent of the Russian band Kino, that I sometimes listen to. Post-punk elements are prominent with some goth rock too. Third song "Secrets" already sounds really good, very interesting. Fourth song "In Your House" became much better, and much more enigmatic and unique with the changing sound and melody. Fifth song "Three" already sounds haunting from the start, progressing to a more suspenseful gothic funeral-like melody. The song causes certain uneasiness. The sixth song "The Final Sound", like the fifth sounds haunting already yet somehow calm. The seventh song "A Forest" already sounds enchanting, enigmatic, luring and immersive. One of the best songs of the album so far. Sounds enigmatic, yet very comforting with certain warmth. The eighth song "M" sounds very folk-like influenced post-punk, evocative and nostalgic, comforting in a slightly dark way. The ninth song "At Night" sounds interesting and fuzzy, yet slightly enchanting. Sounds minimalistically dark and unique. A bit repetitive and by that being quite annoying. The tenth and last song "Seventeen Seconds" sounds a bit mysterious and evocative, slightly comforting and repetitive melody. Lacks originality with being similar to some other songs on the album. If I had to rate 1 out of 10, I'd give it 7.5/10. And 4 out of 5 stars.

Sixth song comes off with a relaxing, funky and groovy beat. Consistent and nice rhythm, that slightly changes throughout. Nice and original.
Seventh song, unique beat at the start. Really funky and relaxing, slightly psychedelic. Great and mellow.

Yes
First song already starts with an interesting sound, synths and drums. Sounds like an artistic depiction of certain things. Funky psychedelic guitars give off relaxing and immersive vibes. Giving off some Pink Floyd vibes with the some of the sound and the vocals, which is not bad at all. Have some elements reminiscent of Porcupine Tree. Song is quite long, but not bad.
Second song comes off country, bluegrass and folk style. Slightly nostalgic and really pleasant melody.
Third song starts off ethereal, psychedelic, and immersive. Really comforting and nostalgic. Sounds artistic. Sounds similar, once again to Pink Floyd. Country music appears later on in the track, pleasant and uplifting. Afterwards sounds like another part of the whole song, sounds more uplifting than the start of the song. Consistent and pleasant. Fuzzy and pleasant distorted guitars. Very nice immersive instrumental solo towards the end.
Fourth song starts off pleasant with the vocals and background strumming. Progressing to a better sound with an added organ. Second part coming in, sounds funky, psychedelic and slightly folk. Pleasant listening, progressing to a better sound. Very nostalgic sounding.
Fifth song already sounds pleasantly calm with the piano at the start, psychedelic and immersive, slightly jazzy.
Sixth and last song sounds repetitive with the organ at the start and later on. Sounds nice with the guitars, which were a bit repetitive too. Sounds average, a little unoriginal musically by being repetitive. Later on gets a little better. Towards the end it makes up a bit for the previous repetition.
1-10 Rating is 8/10. Star rating would be 4 out of 5 stars.

Paranoid
Black Sabbath
First song already starts off heavy metal, slightly haunting with alarm sounds. Amazing start to an album, and very solid progression. Immersive.
Second song starts really good, nostalgic and kickass. One of the best songs in the album. So short, yet so damn good.
Third song starts off very immersive and spacious with Pink Floyd vibes. Easygoing and nice to listen to.
Fourth song starts very heavy. Nostalgic, amazing, and badass! One of the best songs in the album. Progression makes the song better.
Fifth song starts off amazing, doom and psychedelic guitars. Sounds epic and unique! Progression throughout the song becomes better.
Sixth song starts off with nice vocals and becomes better when the guitars kick in. Song progression becomes better. Doom metal elements emerge at halfway of the song, then subsides and re-emerge again.
Seventh song starts off nice, immersive, psychedelic and heavy. Overall, nice song.
Eighth and last song starts fuzzy and psychedelic, really great intro. Song progression, as always like in the other songs becomes better. Buildup at halfway of the song was really great, and the shift to another melody.
9 out of 10 rating. 5 out of 5 stars.

Debut
Björk
First song starts off groovy with a nice beat. Sounds quite unusual, yet somewhat ethereal. Mixed feelings about the song.
Second song starts haunting, ambient, funky, with extraterrestrial vibes. Somewhat soothing, with a myriad of emotions. Makes me feel conflicted and confused as it progresses. Towards the end, sounds a bit better than before.
Third song starts off pretty nice. Relaxing and chill vibes. Not bad. Brian Eno vibes. The only 'comforting' song so far.
Fourth song starts off groovy and jazzy, transitioning to house music. Vocals are giving a weird feeling.
Fifth song starts off magical with the guitar, comforting jazzy ambience/vibe.
Sixth song starts jazzy and funky, house music. Much better than the previous criticized song. Much easier to listen to.
Seventh song starts off synthwave, really nice. Vocals are still quite odd to listen to. Melody is nice. Nothing more.
Eighth song starts off jazzy and soothing, vocals are weird and make me uncomfortable.
Ninth song starts soothing, relaxing and haunting. Melody progression is sustained and by that becomes slightly boring.
Tenth song begins nicely. Consistent melody and beat. Could be better.
Eleventh and last song starts off nice and jazzy. Overall, pretty good.
I'd give a 6/10 rating, and 3 out of 5 stars.

Fun House
The Stooges
First song starts off really nice with garage and punk vibes. Very nice solos, riffs, and very nice hard rock elements. Immersive, slightly nostalgic.
Second song starts up energetic and upbeat, some psychedelic and immersive elements. Remains nice and consistent throughout the song, and becomes better up until the end.
Third song starts off slightly haunting with the screams, very nice progression. So far all the songs sound quite similar with the melodies, with each its' own unique take. Nice psychedelic elements and screams, a bit before the end. Nice ending for the song.
Fourth song starts off nice with the drums, really nice psychedelic beats, and the guitars entering, so are the vocals. I love the synergy between all of them. Solid, consistent with some varieties of melodies. Love the solos. The psychedelic elements make me feel sleepy and relaxed.
Fifth song starts really nice with the energy and elements, fast-paced, relaxing, psychedelic. Not bad at all. Nice solos. Repetitive towards the end with some jazzy elements.
Sixth song starts quite chaotic, yet cozy. Nice elements of jazz, punk and blues. Sure is a fun song, remains consistent throughout with some original twists and solos.
Seventh and last song starts abrasive with the infamous screams from the previous songs. Very good! Song quite loud and abrasive with the screams, and the sonic background noise. Somehow sounds more original than the rest of the songs. Uncomfortable to listen to overall, and causes some anxiety.
7.5/10 rating, and 4 out of 5 stars.

Metallica
First song starts nostalgic and epic. Classic known track by the band. 10/10 song and great opener to the album. Epic solos and vocals.
Second song starts heavy with guitars, and slow drums. Sounds groovy. Sounds really nice and similar vocals style to the first track. Halfway enters an epic solo.
Third song starts interesting with drums and guitars, epic solo. Only gets better as the song goes on.
Fourth song starts really nice and nostalgic, considering I've listened to it before. Song is a really nice and epic power ballad. One of their best songs ever, in my opinion.
Fifth song sounds hauntingly really good at the starts. Becomes heavy and epic. Really great solos! Iconic and great song!
Sixth song starts off upbeat yet heavy. Nice growls. Really good progressions.
Seventh song starts nice with heavy guitars and drums. Great vocals. Epic riffs!
Eighth song is a very iconic and nostalgic power ballad. No words, one of their best known songs ever. Truly a masterpiece!
Ninth song starts really aggressive and epic with the guitars and drums. Sounds dark, in a good way.
Tenth song starts grungy and sludgy, very nice. Not the usual heaviness, I like the variety between the songs. Sounds epic and a tad edgy. Nice end.
Eleventh song starts suspenseful and interesting. Sounds underrated and really great with great melodies, riffs and epic solos. From 3:25 it becomes one the best songs.
Twelfth and last song starts interesting with the drums and guitars. Epic riffs, and really good vocals. Amazing solos.

For not being my kind of style, it's quite nice.
Overall sounds very modern with hints of nostalgia. It sounds like "if synthwave met indie pop/indie rock".
First song is interesting, sounds experimental, drone-minimalist with some rock elements. Sounds quite unusual, yet very uplifting.
Second song is very nice, rocky with comforting synths.
Third song sounds chiptune and drone-like song. Sounds bright with synths. Relaxed and nice song.
Fourth song starts mellow, and stays consistent. Upbeat and uplifting.
Fifth song starts with an ascending tone. Drone noises. Progresses to a sound that feels like you're going through a cloud with the synths. Towards the end of the song sounds like there are good (noise?) rock solos.
Sixth song starts very mellow and dreamy. Sounds electronic and experimental, yet still quite nice.
Seventh song starts nice, groovy, uplifting, psychedelic. Slowly becomes very noisy (not in a good way). Experimental, noisy and quite annoying.
Eighth song starts dreamy, relaxing, ambient. Psychedelic feeling, not bad.
Ninth and final song starts really nice, indie rock with psychedelic elements. Quite uplifting. Comforting hazy synths come in later. Song gets better as it progresses until the end.
7 out of 10 rating. 3 out of 5 stars.
