7.8

Kid A - Radiohead

My favorite album of all time, and the one that really convinced me that music is a true art form, no matter what genre. Even though I hated it on the first listen, it just keeps getting better the more I listen to it.

Favorite Song:
How to Disappear Completely

Back in Black - AC/DC

One of the greatest rock albums of all time. It's a classic that will never grow old in the music world.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West

It may be true that Kanye West is an asshole, but he's also a really good producer, and somehow, when you combine the two together, and the fact that it finally makes good use of hacks like Rick Ross and Nikki Minaj, it results in an amazing listen. This is Kanye at his purest form. (To me at least)

Hell of a Life

In Utero - Nirvana

For my money, an overall better album then Nevermind.

7.9

Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

AWESOMENESS! Who knew that rap and metal would work so well together (Suck it Limp Bizkt and Linkin Park)?!

No. of times listened to: 9

Favorite Song
Wake Up

Mr. Walker's rating:

350

7.9

Bad - Michael Jackson

It's definitely an entertaining listen, but it also can't matchup to Thriller (Though not having The Girl is Mine is a step up).

No. of times listened to: 17

Favorite Song
Smooth Criminal

Mr. Walker's rating:

371

7.5

Pinkerton - Weezer

It's very rare that I sympathize with a 27-year-old nerd wondering about how an 18-year-old Japanese girl masturbates, but...it found a way. Same goes for the rest of the album (Minus the masturbation part).

No. of times listened to: 8

Favorite Song
Either Across the Sea or Butterfly

Mr. Walker's rating:

Wrong Album Page

Very good, but isn't the best example of what the Stones are capable of.

Odelay - Beck

Nonsense....beautiful nonsense. Who knows what the songs are about when the album is so much damn fun?

No. of times listened to: 7

Favorite Song
Lord Only Knows

Mr. Walker's rating:

7.4

Amnesiac - Radiohead

To me, this album is Radiohead's most underrated album. Sure, it doesn't match up to what OK Computer and Kid A accomplish, but what it does accomplish should also be held up in recognition.

Life in a Glasshouse

A little overrated, but still has it's share of fantastic songs.

Favorite Song
Hand of Doom

Fear of a Black Planet - Public Enemy

Doesn't match up to It Takes a Nation, but it's still one of the greatest rap albums I've ever heard

Burn Hollywood Burn

Mr. Walker's rating:

Play - Moby

Pretty overrated and does not live up to the praise that has been given to it over the years, even with the great singles behind it that keep it from getting a 5/10 rating.

We're Only in It for the Money - The Mothers of Invention, Frank Zappa

It may have an outdated sound and an outdated subject for satire, but let me ask you this: has fantastic and entertaining satire ever turned outdated?

Music for the Jilted Generation - The Prodigy

My first techno album that I brought after getting into electronic music after Kid A. Luckily, it's also one of the best albums of it's kind.

Hot Fuss - The Killers

If the 6 songs past "All These Things That I've Done" lived up to the first 5 songs, then this would easily be in my top3 favorite albums of all time. Sadly, the rest is such a lackluster listen that I barely remember.

Don't remember most of them, and the songs I do remember I hated.

Mr. Walker's rating:

To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar

It may be too early to declare this one of the greatest albums of all time, but barely under a year after it's release and it already feels like a classic. Perfect from beginning to end.

HIStory: Past, Present and Future - Book I - Michael Jackson

Superunknown - Soundgarden

The fact that the album falters a bit after "The Day I Tried to Live" is done doesn't stop the first two-thirds of this album from being a fantastic listen.

The Beatles (The White Album) - The Beatles

To loosely quote John Oliver - "In clusterfucks, you at least have potential of a satisfying ending". This is the White Album in a nutshell. It may be all over the place, but it's still a great listen.

The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem

I can see why many people hate Eminem, especially his output after Encore "shudders". But with his early work, I had a sense that he was using it as an outlet for the anger he felt inside. It does have lots of filler (The skits - save for the public service announcement -, Under the Influence, Bizzare's verse on Amnityville, Bitch Please II), but when the album has it moments, it really does shine.

There's a scene in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown where someone asks the title character why she still collects vinyl if cd's are the new thing, to which she responds by saying that it's like collecting an artifact in the past that still good. Ironically, this now applies to CD's as well, but I still buy them not only to add them to my mp3, but because of a sense of personal ownership.

I've decided to keep a public track of the albums I owned, and, so I don't just bore the viewer, decided to add short opinions on each of them.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for letting me waste your time.
