5/5

Fantastic album, great hits that I already knew, but deep track gems abound as well

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

I only knew of Ray Charles from his later career, had no idea about this "big band" era. Very nice! Showcases his incredible vocal range and style.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

Outstanding. MJs magnum opus, without a doubt

1/5

Not good. Very strange.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Fantastic album, great musicianship, some deep topics but great

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Fantastic album, great musicianship, some deep topics but great. Really good example of this style of music

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

It was interesting, clearly of a certain genre, heavy on The Smiths as inspiration, but not as well executed. Listenable if you like that style.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

Bauhaus

Great stuff, classic Dylan.

1/5

Unlistenable

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

Depeche at their best

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Outstanding album. The biggest hit from this album is actually the weakest song to me, it doesn't showcase the depth of their work, it was clearly designed for pop radio play. The deeper tracks are fantastic.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

Absolutely terrible, complete garbage, no musical qualities whatsoever. If you get this album: turn around, don't drown.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

The most classic work of a most classic artist. Even the filler is killer.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Last of the "original lineup" era, and a mixed bag. Eddie's keyboards are used well in places, out of place in others. "Jump" is clearly radio fluff, but other songs are more nuanced, "I'll Wait" a good example. If I never hear "Hot For Teacher" again, it'll be too soon, and, I'll take "Songs that haven't aged well for $1,000, Alex" :)
