Albums You're Amazed Aren't Scored Higher

Ok, so I'm maybe not amazed that Kalacakra's lazy, stoned middle-eastern jam Crawling to Lhasa is rated low at a site dedicated to complex rock and timesignatures, but 2.79 for this charming gem? 

The Residents masterpiece Mark of the Mole at 2.99 is much weirder. Its much lower rated than some of their crappy, later albums. 

And Klaus Schulze's Blackdance, is in my own top three by him, but here its rated at a modest 3.19. 

Kraftwerk 2 only 3.08! Come on its got Kling Klang!

3.34 for Cluster's delightful Zuckerzeit, by far their most popular everywhere else 

I can't understand why Art Zoyd's discography drops down to 3.38 with their 1983 album Les Espaces Inquiets  before it contiues with solid fours. I prefer it to every single later released album.

Agree with most of this. Especially Black Dance - that one is my fave from Schulze. I also seem to be one of the few who awarded it with the full 5 stars
Up until recently, I would have disagreed with you on 'Mole', but seeing as Steve(HolyMoly) just wrote a highly praising review of the thing, I thought I'd revisit the ol' bugger, and what d'you know? I really like it!

Kling Klang is indeed wonderful as well, but people seem to think that Kraftwerk is synonymous with the electro pop they did after 75.. And hey I love that stuff too, but I wouldn't in a million years trade it in for their Krautrock years. No way Jose!

About Art Zoyd - I do love that album immensely, but I think I prefer Berlin to it. May well be my affinity for the electronic bits though...
