In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Overall pretty good. When he is singing the instruments back him perfectly but the long instrumentals are nowhere near as enjoyable. Moonchild is really not a great listen because of this.

Me Against The World

2Pac

5/5

Dear Mama could make any album a classic, but multiple other great songs on the album. Even the misses are listenable which is not a guarantee for a 2pac.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Just great rock/folk music. No standouts but everything sounds great

Live At Leeds

The Who

1/5

They aren't good at being British or rocking, so what's the point. From guitar, singing, lyrics and even the onstage banter, nothing about this interesting or unique.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5
