The quintessential Rock Opera. This album is one of the most cohesive that I’ve ever listened to, and it excels at telling a story in a way that a lot of albums struggle to. Definitely one of the greatest concept albums ever made, though I would argue that David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars manages to tell a very similar story a lot more concisely (though both are great).
Standouts: Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2; Hey You; Comfortably Numb

As one of the first concept albums this record is definitely a lot less experimental than some later entries into the category, but still is definitely worth a listen. The album really captures heartbreak in a very moving way, and the orchestral arrangements are all great and so are Sinatra’s vocals. Frank Sinatra really touched me in a deep way with this one.
Standouts: In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, Mood Indigo, Can’t We Be Friends?

You really can’t go wrong with the Doors. This album definitely seems a lot more eery than their debut, and seems a bit more restrained and focused. Jim Morrison’s writing and vocals are great as ever and as much as I love Ray Manzarek’s keyboard I did quite enjoy the use of piano on this album.
Standouts: You’re Lost Little Girl, People Are Strange, I Can’t See Your Face In My Mind

Maybe one of the greatest debut albums of all time? All the songs are great and all sound unique, while still making a cohesive album. The End specifically is wild because Jim Morrison improvised the whole poetry about Oedipus part while tripping balls on LSD. That song is also a pretty great entry into the genre of 10 minute long rock ballads with mysterious lyrics and unclear story.

This is probably the weakest album from the Beatles that I’ve listened to, but even then it still manages to be pretty good. Most of the tracks are kind of forgettable except for 2 songs which are pretty great, and Yesterday, which is maybe the best song Paul McCartney ever wrote.

This album shows off Bowie’s musical ideas very well. The album is definitely more piano heavy than some of his other work, and I think that it definitely was a good creative choice in how it makes all the songs seem more sincere and personal, as well as making some of the songs (Oh! You Pretty Things, Quicksand) feel vaguely uneasy and mysterious.

The integration of blues and more traditional rock on this album brings to mind the sounds of bands from the ‘60s like the Doors and the Animals, while still sounding modern and having its own personality. The album tells you what to expect at the beginning, and then it accomplishes that very successfully.

This album was fine. That’s pretty much the extent of my thoughts on it. The only reason I listened to it was because I was bullied into it by my friends. 37 minutes of my life that I will never get back.

This album is like a fever dream, in a good way. This album manages to incorporate some bizarre ideas while still not sounding too offputting. There's the nonsense of I Am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever being in A𝄲 and the recorder present on The Fool on The Hill, all of which shouldn't create such a good album, but manage to do so out of spite.

This album has some pretty great tracks, especially the title track and Fame, which are some of Bowie's best. However, Bowie's version of Across the Universe is frankly an embarrassment and is the reason for the majority of the points deducted from my rating.

Pretty great afro-pop album all round. The title track is a very catchy tune and A Piece of Ground is a very moving ballad. The vocals are pretty great and I really enjoy the soul elements present.

This album's use of psychedelia is definitely a lot tamer compared to some of the Beatles' later stuff (Magical Mystery Tour), but I would argue that it's better for it. The album has some insane range in music styles- the psychedelic rock, the soul music, the Indian influences, children's music and of course the Baroque elements is Eleanor Rigby and For No One. The fact that the sounds on this album were created using 1960's technology is actually wild.

Some pretty good music sandwiched between some of the best rock music ever put to record. The songs all sound unique to themselves while still remaining a very cohesive Rock Opera. Five Years and Rock 'n' Roll Suicide are two of the best opening and closing tracks respectively.

Definitely a very solid album that contains a lot of the best of the Beatles' early work. The vocal harmonies on If I Fell have always stood out to me.

This album sounds like the concept of childhood. Some have claimed that the album is overrated, and to that I say this: you clearly don’t have a soul. God Only Knows is also maybe the best single song of all time.

They might cancel me for this album is maybe slightly overrated. It's undeniably very good but saying that it's the best album of all time is maybe a little hyperbolic, especially compared to the rest of the Beatles albums. A Day in the Life is definitely a contender for the best Beatles song though.

Probably the Beatles' most solid album all the way through. It's got some high highs and some high lows. Pretty groovy record all round.

As someone who's listened to a total of three Gorillaz' albums I feel very qualified to say that this is my second favourite one of theirs.

The Beatles realised that this was their last album while they were making it, and it shows in how they pulled out all the stops. The medley at the end serves as a pretty perfect finale to the Beatles' legendary career. Pretty flawless album all round.

Definitely less cohesive than other Beatles albums, but it still has some of their best songs on it.
