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.
The top 100 from the 405 albums from the 00's I own

86.166* Solid album with no weak tracks. They have a great talent at creating rhythm to make you groove within their songs. Great album. One of their better. 04/26

81.494* They're a class band. The riffs and variety of the tunes keep you hooked in. It's got a similar construct but I find I like this more than American Idiot, but just like American Idiot my only gripe is it's way to long. 02/26

80.83 Don't know why it took so long to get this. I just always seemed to overlook it. Anyway, it's great. They meld 60's, 70's, & 80's hard rock so well and can call it there own. The thing with this is how instantly familiar and predictable it felt. That can be both a blessing and a curse. Time will tell

80.538* Bundle of joy. Feeling sad? This is one to always lift the spirits. Love this. Brings a smile to my face every time I hear it. The music and variety makes it one of the better you can get in this sort of category/genre. Lyrically hilarious. Hooray. 11/25

79.54 I recently reassessed this as Metal Hammer put out an online article ranking Megadeth albums and I was surprised this was picked as 2nd best. My opinion: Megadeth are good at what they do. There are some great tracks on this but most are stock standard Megadeth. That's not a bad thing though. They're consistent and most tracks on this surpass that of the any music that similar genre bands put out. Hence why they're one of the few that can stay at the top of the thrash metal ladder. Personal note: Not a big fan of Dave Mustaine's vocals

79.28 I was intrigued when getting this as in many publications this album is rated as one of their best and I had a few of their albums prior. It's good but I didn't find it much different from the others. Bit more proggy maybe. In fact I find all their albums on very level par, they're all good; very equal in standings. The sound on this one however has hints of them becoming a new type of Sabbath.

79.090* It would have been a hard ask to match the caliber of their three previous studio albums to this. They don't quite manage but still do a bloody great job with this. It still has that definitive Muse sound and style from the past. Good album. 11/25

79.00 Love the lounge music vibe but with a rocking edge. She's got that great raspy smokey voice as well. Good album. Deserves more credit than it gets 02/24
