Rolling Stone's 472nd greatest album of all time
Fantastic R&B album with a superb vocal performance. I have to be honest I didn't enjoy Travis Scott and Kendrick Lamarr's appearances, but the rest of the album was wonderful.

Rolling Stone's 337th greatest album of all time
Great progressive rock album, with some epic, rambling song-stories telling tales of childhood rejection and subsequent vindication. The inclusion of flute was an interesting feature for a typical rock album.

Good, raw grungey album. I think my only knowledge of Sonic Youth to date has been Sugar Kane on a compilation album, so this raw, punk sound was a pleasant surprise.

Rolling Stone's 228th greatest album of all time
Decent early rap album. Very heavy on the scratching and sampling, to its credit. Typical themes of earning money and getting paid (preferably in full) make it a dull album lyrically.

Rolling Stone's 365th greatest album of all time
Excellent album by the angry rap-rockers. I had forgotten how good this album is, as I am so over Killing in the Name, but from the off this album is a banger. Superb bass, mostly excellent guitar sound and Zach's voice is totally in-keeping with the style.

Mumford re-ignited the folky genre with this album, bringing us their folky twist. (2 more)
Passionate, well written and excellently performed tracks.
I think, for me, this is still their first and best album.
Mumford's debut album - a plethora of folky tunes.

While Personal Jesus and Enjoy The Silence are massive excellent songs, I felt the rest of the album struggled to match their quality. A good synth-rock album overall but flat in places.

Rolling Stone's 247th greatest album of all time
The live setting of this album sets is apart from the other Grateful Dead albums I have listened to. This gives the mediocre 60s blues album a more raw and authentic feel.
