Picture This - 7/10: I like the instruments/beat in this song, especially the drums.
Fade Away And Radiate - 7/10: I like the guitar on this song.

11:59 - 9/10: I also really like the instruments and beat on this one, along with the vocals. The drums are very good.

Sunday Girl - 8/10: I like the instruments/beat and the vocals.
Heart of Glass - 7/10: I like the vocals and lyrics. Another classic.

Just Go Away - 7/10: I like the instruments/beat, especially the guitar.
Overall Score: 92/120
Overall Ranking: 8/10: Honestly, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. No 10/10 songs for me personally, but still a great album. I am not a huge fan of Blondie, since I really only know their popular songs, but I really enjoyed this album. I am pleasantly surprised.
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
Get Innocuous! - 4/10: The beat is okay, but I wouldn't listen to it again.
Time to Get Away - 6/10: I like the beat and it's pretty catchy.
North American Scum - 7/10: I really like the beat and drums on this song.

New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down - 5/10: I like the pick-up (idk what to call it) toward the end of the song and the guitar. Not a fan of the vocals.
Overall Score: 50/90
Overall Rating: 6/10 - I have never heard of or listened to LCD Soundsystem before, and while the album wasn't terrible, it's definitely not my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of the punk genre, but the album isn't the worst. I probably won't listen to it again, though.
Sarah Vaughan
3/5
September In The Rain - 7/10: I like the instruments/beat (idk what to call it) a lot. I also like the higher notes she hits.
Willow Weep for Me - 6/10: I like her vocals, the only thing that threw me off a bit was the crashing sound? toward the end, but that's what happens with live albums I suppose.
Just One of Those Things - 6/10: Not terrible, but I don't love her volume. I like the instruments/beat though.
Be Anything But Darling Be Mine - 6/10: I like her vocals in this song. The song isn't bad at all, it's just kind of bleh.
Thou Swell - 7/10: Again, I really like her vocals in this song. I also like the instruments/beat.
Stairway to the Stars - 6/10: I like her vocals and the instruments/beat. The song is just a little bleh and forgettable.
Honeysuckle Rose - 7/10: I like the higher notes she hits, along with the instruments/beat.
Just a Gigolo - 6/10: The song isn't bad, it's just that nothing stood out to me. I like the piano though.
How High the Moon - 4/10: I like the instruments/beat, but she's kind of just hooting and hollering, she's not really saying anything. This is my first time hearing this song so I don't know if that's how it's supposed to go, but I don't really like it.
Overall Score: 55/90
Overall Rating: 6/10 - I have never really explored the jazz genre, and this is probably the first jazz album I've listened to front to back. It's not a bad album, I'm just not a huge fan of jazz. I really like her voice though, and the instruments/beat or whatever you call if was also nice. It's just not my favorite album, but I could see myself possibly listening to it again in the future.

Gimme Some Truth - 6/10: I like the instruments/beat, but I'm not a huge fan of the vocals.
Oh My Love - 6/10: I like the vocals, I'm just not a huge fan of slower songs.

How? - 7/10: I like the instruments/music a lot.
Oh Yoko! - 6/10: I like the upbeat-ness of the song.
Overall Score: 61/100
Overall Rating: 7/10 - It's not a terrible album, it just didn't wow me. The only song that I really, really liked was "Imagine". This is more my genre, but it just isn't my favorite. It's not bad though.

2/5
Coat of Many Colors - 6/10: I really like the meaning behind the song/lyrics.
Traveling Man - 5/10: I like her vocals and the beat isn't terrible.

You Oughta Know (Jimmy the Saint Blend) / Your House (a capella) - 4/10: I don't love the 2nd portion of the song.
Overall Score: 67/130
Overall Rating: 5/10 - I'm gonna be honest, I thought I'd like it more than I did. I've heard of Morissette, but have never really listened to her. I did enjoy some of the songs on here a lot, but others were just kind of bleh to me. I don't love her voice, I like it on some, but others were just ugh.
Metallica
3/5
The Ecstacy Of Gold (Instrumental) - 2/10: Just boring, not a huge fan of instrumental songs.
The Call of Ktulu (Instrumental) - 5/10: I likes the pick-ups (i don't know what to call them) around the 1:30 and 5 minute marks. I also liked the guitar and drums, but it is instrumental and, again, I'm not a huge fan of instrumental songs.
Master of Puppets - 5/10: I like that they include the crowd in their concerts, but I'd rather listen to the actual singer the whole way through than both him and the crowd. Hetfield's voice also sounds a little weird to me. It's still a pretty good song, though.
Of Wolf and Man - 5/10: I like the instruments/beat (whatever you call it) on this song. I also like the guitar solo at the end. I'm not a huge fan of the chants though.
The Thing That Should Not Be - 7/10: I like the instruments/beat.
Fuel - 7/10: I like the instruments/beat and the vocals.
The Memory Remains - 5/10: It just didn’t really stand out to me.
No Leaf Clover - 6/10: I like the drums in this song.
Hero Of The Day - 5/10: It just didn’t really stand out to me. I think the vocals are okay, though.

Bleeding Me - 6/10: I like the guitar in this track and the intro.
Nothing Else Matters - 8/10: I really like the instruments/beat and the vocals on this track. I like the regular version of this song as well, so that’s no surprise.
Until It Sleeps - 7/10: I really like the instruments/beat and the vocals on this track. I also liked the guitar solo.
For Whom The Bell Tolls - 6/10: I like the regular version of this song, but I’m not feeling this version a whole lot. I like the drums, and I think the orchestra is an interesting touch, but I’m not obsessed with Hetfield’s vocals.
Human - 7/10: I like the instruments/beat in this track, and I also really like Hetfield’s vocals. I specifically really enjoy the drums and guitar.
Wherever I May Roam - 6/10: This is my favorite Metallica song, but I like the regular one more. Again, I’m not super obsessed with Hetfield’s vocals, but I do love the guitar in this track. I also think that the orchestra is an interesting addition.
The Outlaw Torn - 5/10: It's not bad, just didn't really wow me.
Sad But True - 5/10: I like the intro and the instruments/beat.
One - 6/10: I like the part a little before 5 minutes and the instruments/beat.
Enter Sandman - 6/10: Again, I like the regular song better. This one isn't terrible, but I feel like the orchestra overpowered the guitar/drums/bass a bit.
Battery - 5/10: I like the drums a lot in this track.
Overall Score: 119/210
Overall Rating: 6/10 - I'm going to be honest, I thought I was going to like it more than I did. I'm not a big fan of Metallica, but I know and like some of their songs. Hetfield's voice just didn't sound the same here as it does on the original tracks. I also thought that the orchestra sometimes outshined the drums/bass/guitar. It wasn't terrible, but not my favorite.
Soft Cell
2/5
Frustration - 5/10: I just wasn't really into it. I like the beat/ instruments (whatever you call it) but I'm not super obsessed with the vocals and lyrics.

Youth - 7/10: I like the vocals and beat on this song.

Either Way I Lose - 3/10: Same as last one.
Overall Score: 39/110
Overall Rating: 2/10 - I just didn't really enjoy this album. I found it kind of boring and I didn't really enjoy Simone's vocals. I didn't know what to expect since I've never heard of Nina Simone, so I'm not really disappointed or anything, but I don't see myself listening to this again.
