Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

The very definition of 70s classic rock. Guitars are loud, vocals are good, lyrics are non-sense, but who cares cuz they’re fun as hell. Great. 4/5

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

2/5

So incredibly boring it’s crazy. A few decent tracks, but nothing that makes me want to come back for more.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

I'm sorry this is mostly just extra theatrical Radiohead. I know that's kind of a hated opinion, but it's true. My real rating is like a 3.5, but since you can't do that here, I'm going to always round down when the rating ends in .5.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

The 21st century version of “Remain in Light”. Futuristic in its production and deeply inspired in its lyrics, this is a near masterpiece that will be on my rotation for a while. 4.5/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

This might be my lack a synthpop listening, but this sounds like a mix of so many excellent things that all somehow work so well together. Masterpiece.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Extremally underrated. Even in their first album, you can already see Talking Heads great songwriting, this is almost a 5/5, but one or two less pristine songs hold it back. Still, this is excellent.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Good classic rock. Get rid of “Big Ten Inch Record” and it’s a 4. With its is a 3.5.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

3/5

Good, but I can’t help but feel that this is very boring at some points. The only true standout for me was the great end with each instrument going at full 1968 force. That was excellent. The rest is ok. Solid 3

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

The very definition of 70s classic rock. Guitars are loud, vocals are good, lyrics are non-sense, but who cares cuz they’re fun as hell. Great. 4/5

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Pretty funny, and the whole Pharcyde group has great chemistry and a a great flow. The beats are very good too. Not really much I can say here other than its really good. 4/5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

4/5

The whole album is excellent, but Son of Sam is so damn good. Probably one of my favorite songs from the 2000s. The album as a whole gets a 4.5/5.

2112

Rush

3/5

2112 is the clear highlight here, but everything else is pretty great too. On a more random note, I don’t think I’ve laughed harder at a song this year than when “passage to Bangkok” used the “your phone ringing” riff. 4/5 Edit: Other than the truly excellent first song, nothing has really stayed in my head, so I'm dropping it a little. 3.5/5

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Some of the finest rock of the 60s. Every musician does great work and the whole album flows very well. 4.5/5.
