Supertramp-Crime Of The Century

Considering how harshly I rated the last album that I listened to, it seems weird going from a 1 to a 5 between two albums. Crime of the Century... I loved it. I just plain loved it. It sounded like one big orchestral performance, like an ELO album. (Eldorado is a great listen) With "School", "Bloody Well Right", "Dreamer", and "Asylum". This album is great all the way through and never slows down. An exceptional album.

Bottom Line: Worthy of a perfect. 5/5

U2-No Line On The Horizon

If you're a big U2 fan and still haven't purchased this album, do yourself a favor and not buy it. This album was just plain painful to listen to. The only good song was "Magnificent" but everything else was horrible. It is just the same odd sounding tunes going for five minutes or longer, and I learned the hard way how painful that is. The only non-repetitive track was "Get on Your Boots" and still it was bad. U2 is a great band, but they are going to lose me if their next releases sound like this. So if you are planning to buy this album, take it from some one who has listened to it. Don't buy it.

Bottom Line: Terrible 1/5
