Awesome image gallery everyone. Might be cool if people would say something about these albums though.

This is why I really don't post in this thread. Plus if I was going to say something about an album I would rather write about it in my journal.

Well, for one thing the instructions in the OP of this thread are to say what you think of the album. Also, people are more likely to check out an album if they have a description of some kind to pique their interest. And lastly, sometimes people are already familiar with the album but might be interested in your thoughts because, you know, this is a discussion board.

For me, there's not much to say. I either like it or don't, and anything I have to say about it is so personal (since this is merely a matter of taste) that it would be meaningless to anyone who doesn't know me in real life.

Meh. I'll give it a shot.

AC/DC - Back in Black

Though I already knew several of the songs, this is the first time I've listened to this album. This band is like Guns N Roses in that they are everything Real Estate isn't.

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

After a long day of work, I'd put this album on to heal me. I still like it, but it's lost some of its charm. Not sure why. Maybe I overlistened to it for years?

Halsey - Badlands

I don't know enough about this album yet to have formed an opinion, but it seems to me that the life philosophy put forth in "Hurricane" can't be good for the artist in the long run.

Skrillex - Bangarang

I knew a guy a couple years ago. I thought his thick-rimmed glasses and tribal tattoos were cool. Then I saw a photo of Skrillex and felt betrayed.

This is the Kit - Bashed Out

I dig it all around. Just right for me.

Alex G - Beach Music

I enjoyed giving this album a first listen while lounging back on my Esse. NSFW!

Beachwood Sparks - Beachwood Sparks

This album always makes me think of Todd. I met Todd back in 1997, and he had an extensive collection of CDs he let me borrow. That got me into Bowie for the first time, and this album was quite a gem for me, too.

Last album I listened to was 'Twilight in Middle-Earth' by Blind Guardian. It really takes you on a journey through Tolkien's world if you are into metal.

Amsterdam - Burn the Night

These guys came to town last month and I bought their CD. It feels very, very familiar, but I can't quite say what it reminds me so strongly of. Sort of like if you took every girl-fronted '90s "alternative rock" band and threw them all into a blender together.

Pond - Beard, Wives, Denim

The nation has been on holiday for a week, so jumping back into work on a Friday is kind of weird. This album, my companion on my 12-kilometer cycling journey to work, shook the holiday cobwebs free.

I generally listen to all my albums in alphabetical order. I'm on B now.

Bear in Heaven - Beast Rest Forth Mouth

This'll be staying in rotation. Loved the synths.

Glass Candy - B/E/A/T/B/O/X

Nothing like starting an album to make it sound like a home exercise tape!

The Beatles - Beatles for Sale

Yeah...this one is leaving rotation. Other than "What You're Doing", the songs just aren't convincing.

Villagers - Becoming a Jackal

First listen. Very impressed with this debut effort. This album started just as the rain started, which seemed appropriate.

M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us

First listen. Talk about being late to the party! Wow.

Girlpool - Before the World Was Big

Some of them lo-fi indie girl tunes.

SOAK - Before We Forgot How to Dream

Some of them dreampop tunes. Good stuff.

The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet

And as he jumped up on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell

The Black Eyed Peas - Behind the Front

Their early stuff is better. I know that sounds hipster, but it's true.

Belle and Sebastian - Belle and Sebastian Write About Love

I felt like I was listening to NPR.
