Okay, let me rate my first favorite album.
I was 8, and it was 1998's Version 2.0 by Garbage.

1. Temptation Waits 3/5 - can't really pinpoint why I like this song
2. I Think I'm Paranoid 3/5 - my first favorite song, the video's sexy
3. When I Grow Up 2/5 - such an upbeat song, reminds me of Nickelodeon's "Caitlin's Way"
4. Medication 5/5 - beautiful vocals
5. Special 2/5 - my mom's favorite song, so it reminds me of her when I hear it
6. Hammering in My Head 3/5 - wonderful lyrics and an excellent delivery
7. Push It 3/5 - first single and a good choice
8. The Trick Is to Keep Breathing 5/5 - interesting layers and beats
9. Dumb 2/5 - an in-your-face song, not bad at all
10. Sleep Together 3/5 - I think the chorus(?) is so eerie, love the line "if we come together, we'll go down forever"
11. Wicked Ways 2/5 - it always reminded me of country, but it's another fun song with interesting vocal effects
12. You Look So Fine 4/5 - great ender

I thought I would have given some 1's or even 0's, but I guess I still have a little 8-year-old left in me. Very catchy... to me at least.

automatic bzooty, do you know how Maureen Tucker's solo work is? I wanna check it out, but I wanna know if its worth it or not.

[automatic bzooty]

i have no idea! and i've been wondering myself.

i've been wanting to give the one with some sonics on it a listen, but as you said... no idea if it'll be worth it.

[joe11121]

Haha, okay. I'll have to investigate. I only have 1 VU album. I need more. Love that band!! And I'll have to get some Maureen solo work as well.

[automatic bzooty]

heh, you do need more! which one do you have?

In my opinion, every album has a 5/5 track. When I rate tracks I compare them to the rest of the album, or sometimes other songs in a bands catalogue.

I wouldn't say every album has a 5/5 track, just a best track.
