Sarah (7800 KP) rated Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park in Music

The album of a generation
I don't think there's anyone around my age who didn't love this album as a teenager. It's possibly one of the best debut albums I've ever heard. There's a few standout songs (In The End, One Step Closer) but every song is fantastic in its own right. This is one of the few albums that myself and my brother can actually agree on, and even used to listen to it together when we were younger. Genius.
Bethany Fletcher (17 KP) rated Divide by Ed Sheeran in Music
Jun 26, 2018
Beautiful, beautiful album. My favourite song is probably Supermarket Flowers which is on the deluxe edition. It’s a stunning song about losing his grandmother. I am sure everyone can relate to the feeling of loss in some way so this song can resonate with plenty of people. Dive is also an incredibly beautiful song.

Ross (3284 KP) rated The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd in Music
May 15, 2020
Rolling Stone's 347th greatest album of all time
I realise what this album was meant to be, Pink Floyd starting to create the prog genre. And it truly is progressive. However, that mentality overlaid on the music of the time, Merseybeat style Rhythm & Blues, just doesn't work for me. Most of it I found quite hard to listen to. I think Pink Floyd were just ahead of their time and the music of the era didn't fit well with experimental stylings.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney in Music
May 28, 2020
Rolling Stone's 272nd greatest album of all time
If I had to put money on it, I would have said Sleater-Kinney were a Celtic rock band, along the lines of Runrig or Wolfstone. I was pleasantly surprised to find they're an all-girl punk band. This was right up my street and similar to other bands I had listened to as part of this list - the likes of "X" and Liz Phair. Very angry, angsty and fast and raw. Great album.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Today! by The Beach Boys in Music
May 28, 2020 (Updated Apr 12, 2021)
Rolling Stone's 271st greatest album of all time (466th in the 2020 list)
This album marked the Beach Boys' coming of age, moving from fun-loving surfing good-time boys, to more intelligent and meaningful musicians. The music is much more varied, more orchestral, and the harmonies take on a whole new level. The songs are much more serious too in general and a move towards what would become their Pet Sounds mindset. A great listen featuring some of their best songs.

May 11, 2020
Rolling Stone's 401st greatest album of all time
I got this album for my 18th birthday and loved it at the time. I feared re-listening after all this time would ruin the memory of it (I regularly hear Scar Tissue and hate it now). This wasn't the case as I fell in love with it all over again. The first few tracks are incredible and while it loses its way somewhere after that it comes back for a strong finish.
