I really love "All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison (this one is even a triple) and "Blonde On Blonde" by Bob Dylan and "666" by Aphrodite's Child. And then there's this.

Pink Floyd A Saucerful Of Secrets

In my opinion, the best Pink Floyd album before 1970. The album's heterogeneity might suggest that they weren't quite sure what direction to take after Syd Barrett's departure. The contributions from Waters are excellent (I really love "Let There Be More Light" and "Corporal Clegg," which reveal the bassist-songwriter's obsessions in different ways) and Wright's are dreamy. However, the pinnacle of the album is the track that shares its title, a collective effort that creates a wartime atmosphere with a final requiem (a fascinating piece that could last 5 or 15 minutes without losing anything). Barrett's track contains one of his clearest and most self-aware lyrics, and, while it contrasts with the rest of the album, it best marks the closing of a chapter.

R.E.M. Out Of Time

I mostly agree with Korrea's analysis. The best track for me is "Half A World Away," with a breathtaking progression. I also really love "Texarkana," especially when Stipe chimes in. Below-par pieces: "Belong" and "Me in Honey."

Matt Groening The Simpsons - Il Bob Italiano

I haven't watched The Simpsons in years. I'm abstaining from judgment, but I've become hungry.

The Police Ghost In The Machine

Voto:

Not entirely convincing, yet a good album. "Invisible Sun" is surprising compared to the previous productions of the Police, but after repeated listens, it’s the track I prefer.

Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy

Voto:

A bit weaker compared to the first four, but still a more than good album.

U2 Pop

Voto:

From here on out, there's little to save for Bono and his buddies.

U2 Zooropa

Voto:

Last decent album by U2. Leaving aside two inconsistent tracks, if not downright bad, "Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car" and "Some days...", the rest is of high quality, balancing between "tradition" and electronic experimentation. Over time, the track I prefer is "The Wanderer", perhaps due to Bono's understated presence, but above all for Johnny Cash's great performance: every time I listen to it, I wonder how it would have sounded with guitars and harmonica.

Steven Spielberg Munich

I promise myself to watch it, but I would need some time and concentration, of which I currently have in limited doses.

The Police Reggata De Blanc

I didn't quite understand whether you think this one is better or the previous one. Like Nico63 (Comment 8), I don't really feel like digging them up.
