It really wouldn't be too difficult to find out if an album is considered good because it's critically acclaimed or because it's hugely popular and sold a large amount. All you'd have to do is either list it critically acclaimed, publicly acclaimed or both.

I think the problem Trollheart is having with a lot of these albums, is that they're either from genres he doesn't know or doesn't like and I think to really understand this list a broader musical appreciation is needed.
Btw this isn't a dig because I would also suffer with a lot of these albums as well, as there are loads of genres here that I wouldn't listen to. For example when I saw the last album and saw it was noise rock/experimental I didn't need to see Trollheart's rating to know that it would be low. I think the whole point of this list as well, is that it's going to be a list of albums that aren't always considered classic but just different.

Album title: Desperate youth, bloodthirsty babes Artiste: TV On The Radio Year: 2004 Nationality: American Chronology: Debut album Previous experience of this artiste, if any: Zero Am I glad I heard this album before I died? No, not really. Tracklisting: The wrong way, Staring at the sun, Dreams, King eternal, Ambulance, Poppy, Don't love you, Bomb yourself, Wear you out Introduction: I again have nothing to say. Have vaguely heard their name mentioned but know nothing about them. No: less than nothing. Comments: The vocal style is a little offputting, but as it goes on this album gets better. Actually, I take that back. After becoming interesting for a few tracks it's now boring me. Very much a sense of David Bowie about it as well as Scissor Sisters. Interesting to see that the Thin White Duke did contribute to one of their recordings. Favourite track(s): Dreams, Don't love you Least favourite track(s): Everything else really My impression: Nothing much more than meh really. Rating:

Album title: Cee-Lo Green... is the soul machine Artiste: Cee-Lo Green Year: 2004 Nationality: American Chronology: Second album Previous experience of this artiste, if any: Zero Am I glad I heard this album before I died? Sort of. It was interesting to hear it at least. Now I know what he sounds like and it was different to what I had expected. Tracklisting: Intro/ Soul machine/ The art of noise/ Living again/ I'll be around/ The one/ My kind of people/ Childz play/ I am selling soul/ All day love affair/ Evening newz/ Scrap metal/ Glockapella/ When we were friends/ Sometimes/ Let's stay together/ Die trying/ What don't you do? Introduction: After my surprisingly pleasant experience with The Streets, I'm ready to give Mr. Green a chance... Comments: Wiki says this is “hardcore hip-hop”, but I hear more soul, like seventies soul, brother! Lots of brass, upbeat piano, little in the way of questionable lyrics, no anger or much in the way of boasting despite the title of the album. Well actually there is a little. I'm not a fan of it though I don't hate it. It was better than I had been expecting. Some tracks I definitely enjoyed but on balance it doesn't do too much for me, and I can't see myself listening to it, or anything else by him, again. Interesting and entertaining. Favourite track(s): Soul machine, The art of noise, I am selling soul, Scrap metal, Glockapella, Sometimes, Let's stay together, Die trying Least favourite track(s): I'll be around, Childz play My impression: Sort of meh really again. Well no, it was okay, but again I wouldn't be actively seeking out his music. Rating:

I never get when Trollheart says, "I enjoyed it, but I can't see myself ever listening to this artist ever again". But... didn't you enjoy it?
