  | Album Ratings! I thought this would be a kick ass idea.  I'll be following Choleric's inital idea of using a total rating mark out of 10 and a minimal descripition. See Choleric's awesome movie thread for reference. So, please continue on! Old albums, new albums - whatever! |

| Re: Album Ratings! All nineteen Rush albums.. don't think I won't do it  Rush - 'Snakes & Arrows' - 2007 Innovative, amazing and a proper comeback after a few medicore records 10/10 Rush - 'Moving Pictures' - 1981 Probably my favourite album of all time. Amazing  10/10 Frozen Ghost - 'A Nice Place To Visit' - 1987 Definitely has some great songs, but not enough to make it a classic. Also worth mentioning is that some of the songs are a reputious. 7/10 Neil Young - 'Live At Massey Hall, 1971' - 2006 I'm absolutely stunned they've been to attain such sound quality from a '71 recording! 10/10 Alanis Morissette -'Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie' - 1998 People often talk about Alanis' first album (Jagged Little Pill) as her best, but I could not disagree more. The above record took her to a new level!  9/10 Last edited by Bruce; 07-11-2007 at 08:38 PM. |

| Re: Album Ratings! Eyy, I was thinking of making exactly the same thread as soon as I got home from Italy! Anyway... Breaking Benjamin - Phobia 2006 10/10 Creative, excellent, great lyrics, perfectly composed music. And every single track on this album is a potential favourite. If you like rock, take a listen. This is rock as it should be. |

Rush - 'Hold Your Fire' - 1987 A creative piece of work! Also includes some of the finest bass guitar work ever recorded 9/10 Tom Cochrane - 'Mad Mad World' - 1991 The finest recording Cochrane has ever produced. While Nitty, gritty and hard edged, it's also amazingly uplifiting. Can't explain, but.. 10/10 Tom Cochrane - 'No Stranger' - 2006 The first Cochrane record I've actually been dissapointed with. Weak songs toppled by what is most likely the worst sound production - ever 5/10 Pink Floyd - 'The Wall' - 1979 It's The Wall and that equals kick ass  10/10 U2 - 'Joshua Tree' - 1987 Can't give it anything other than.. 10/10 Last edited by Bruce; 07-11-2007 at 08:39 PM. | |

| Re: Album Ratings! Rush - 'Power Windows' - 1985 One of the finest quality recorded tracks ever produced. As an addition, it features some of the best bass guitar work ever recorded. Awesome songs too! 10/10 Dire Straits (self titled) - 1979 Ahh..I always find it surprising to hear that 'Sultans of Swing' wasn't a big hit until it was re-released. That's right - it was re-released because it wasn't received very well the first time around. Anyways, while SOS is a fantastic song, the self titled album has much more to offer than that particular hit: 'Down to the Waterline', 'The Gallery', 'Southbound Again', etc are all superb! 9/10 (could be a 10, can't decide) Tom Cochrane - 'Victory Day' - 1988 To keep it short and simple: excellent 9/10 Neil Young - 'Heart of Gold' - 1974 A true classic. 9/10 Neil Young - 'Living With War' - 2006 Good effort, but some of the songs are not my style. 7/10 |

| Re: Album Ratings! Geddy Lee - 'My Favourite Headache' - 2001 A very impressive solo debut. As a Rush fan, I'm more than proud with the final result. 10/10 Tom Cochrane & Red Rider (Self Titled) - 1986 Great album 8/10 Loreena McKennitt - 'The Book of Secrets' - 1995 Perfection 10/10 Jethro Tull - "Thick As A Brick' - 1971 I nominated TAAB as the best song ever... So yeah 10/10 The Fixx - 'Reach the Beach' - 1983 Off-beat and unqiue. The Fixx is undoubtedly the king of synthesizers 9/10 Talking Heads - 'Stop Making Sense' - 1984 Superb live album 9/10 |

| Re: Album Ratings! Nightwish - Dark Passion Play - 2007 6.5/10. It's definitely not bad but it's also quite a bit from their best work. In this business it's all about being better and better. |
