Top 100 Music Albums of the 2000s by mrmcrook 
The 2000's for music is quite a conundrum I find. There's some absolute gold but as a decade I found it didn't really excel.
I realize my chart has a lot of compilations. I am trying to ween them out
Any footnotes are just personal ramblings for my own entertainment.
And to remind me of the joy the music brings before all memory is erased.

85.50 Hard rock n roll. Basic feel but fucking fantastic. Great length album. One that you can forget how good it is if not played for ages. Should be more widely recognized. I'm amazed it sits at about number 22,500 in the rankings

84.50 An overlooked gem of an album. Great psych rock. Fantastic from start to finish. Nice flow and rhythm and one which you cant help but nod your head and tap your foot too. One that you forget how fucking good it is if not pulled out and listened to on a semi regular basis.

84.44 Following up 'Play' was always going to be a hard ask. I think he's done an excellent job with this. Many beautifully composed pieces within. Again there's a great tranquility with some added oomph throughout. Top notch album

Everyone has that album they bought which is a world away from the norm they usually listen to and buy. This is that one for me. Never would I ever have thought it would have such an impact. This is fucking gold. Love it.

80.62 Not as epic as what came immediately before or after but I still love this album. It was the last one of the SOAD albums I bought due to it looking budget. Very under rated considering it was meant to be a collection of B-sides and left overs. Took a few listens to gel but I rate it up there with there others. SOAD have a very unique sound, so if you like there other stuff there's no reason you shouldn't like this

79.50 Love the Chem's. Not their best but up there. Always pleased after listening as always better than I'm thinking it's going to be. Steady right through. Always great when they've got Beth Orton on board.

One that needs to be listened to on a semi-regular basis or you can forget how good it is nearly straight after hearing it. (That sounds strange but that's how it is for me). Many blissfully serene tracks but with a psych rock edge. 'Do You Realize??' being the song that emotional hits me more than any other song ever. Now that's saying something

79.23 Read in a 'Classic Rock' mag a review of the first 4 Soulfly albums that have just been reissued. I love 'Primitive' & rate it as one of the greatest metal albums. In this review they said that this was way better. Got it a week later. It's good but jury is still out. More listens needed as Primitive is fucking great. *** More time now passed. Primitive is better.
