C seems low for United. 

I don't mind Big Bang Theory but I can only get to a C if I cheat, and take Tables Turning and Never Have It All from the japan version.   In My State Of Mind is a good ballad.

Of all the bands from the heyday who put out good to great albums in the late 80's, early 90's; for me Harem Scarem is the only one who is still putting out great albums.  It's been a 25, 30 year drought for pretty much every other band.

Point of interests is that 'The Early Years' is in my top 3 Harem Scarem albums and its absence is a massive oversight. After the fact or not, it is almost like an unofficial true debut album. An essential piece of their discography. 

Also, I spent about 5mins looking for 'Believe,' before I remembered it was released as 'Karma Cleansing' in parts of the world, and amazingly, as I just discovered then, does not feature the album's best song, 'Staying Away.' So ignore my 'Karma Cleansing' placement and pretend that is correctly so, 'Believe.'

Early Years was omitted because it's a compilation album. 

I never even considered using Believe, as I've always thought of that album as Karma Cleansing. Staying Away is good, but Rain(sans full band) followed by The Mirror and Morning Grey would be the best songs on that album for me.

LOVE a lot of HS’s stuff, but just could never get into that one for some reason. 🤷‍♂️

Compilation album? Not sure I'd be calling it that. A compilation of all their early demos, you mean?

I just never thought of it as a true studio album.

A compilation album comprises tracks, which may be previously released or unreleased.

I'd have to go through it, but I remember it not sitting with me.

Wasn't the greatest era, I think. I was listening to Tesla's Forevermore, the other day, and I didn't like it as much as I remembered.

I'm not following, I don't see how a Tesla album released in the same year would affect ones rating of the Hope album. 

Are you saying you agree with The Rocker that Hope is a weak album?

Not exactly weak, but I didn't care for the grittier sound of a lot of albums being released around 2010. There were a few years there where many bands were going for a dirtier sound. Less polished. I'm trying to avoid the word "grunge"--haha--because it definitely wasn't Grunge.
