Best Overall Albums of Today's Standards
By an Amazon.com customer
Rascal FlattsRascal Flatts by Rascal Flatts
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.48
This is probably the best intro album out of every possible artist in my opinion. I bought their third album first, which convinced me to buy their fourth, which then led me to buy the first 2. This is their first and definitely a must have.
MeltMelt by Rascal Flatts
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.55
This is a great sophomore album for Rascal Flatts with classics such as "These Days" and "Mayberry". Overall this is a very good album and is worth having (particularly for the low price).
Feels Like TodayFeels Like Today by Rascal Flatts
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.81
The first album I bought by Rascal Flatts and I absolutely loved it (still do). It was so good, in fact, that it convinced me to look into country music as a whole.
Me and My GangMe and My Gang by Rascal Flatts
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.84
The newest album by Rascal Flatts and a definite must have overall. If you like any of their other albums you will love this.
Hopes and FearsHopes and Fears by Keane
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.08
Another one of the best first albums throughout all music genres. Keane is very unique but also full of talent and instant classics.
Under the Iron SeaUnder the Iron Sea by Keane
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.97
A great sophomore album-It's somewhat different when compared to "Hopes and Fears" but it still has what you fall in love with the first time around. Depending on your taste you could love some songs and others not so much, or love the album altogether (which is, in itself, worthy of praise).
Hide from the SunHide from the Sun by The Rasmus
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.99
Incredible music-different yet totally satasfying for any music lover. There wasn't a single song on this album I didn't like, and on top of that the bonus tracks are the perfect addition. Anyone who is a fan of HIM or Nightwish would probably like this album (currently the newest from The Rasmus).
Two LightsTwo Lights by Five for Fighting
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.59
If you like Five For Fighting's singles "The Riddle" and/or "World", chances are you would like this album. There are a couple songs you may not expect from this artist but overall the album is praseworthy.
Infinity on HighInfinity on High by Fall Out Boy
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.10
Fall Out Boy's newest album is probably their best to date. Every song on this album is unique and if you are a fan of their earlier works you will likely notice growth in the talent of the band altogether. Definitely a must have.
How to Save a LifeHow to Save a Life by The Fray
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $3.49
A great album by The Fray, a band with great potential. Every song is unlike the last but delivers something you may not expect at first glance.
Be HereBe Here by Keith Urban
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.01
A great country CD altogether-For those who are fans of Rascal Flatts, this is another artist worth checking out. This particular album has many instant classics including "Days Go By" and "Tonight I Wanna Cry".
Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy ThingLove, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing by Keith Urban
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.93
The newest album from Keith Urban, you can definitely discern the growth between the start of his career and the present. Overall this album is very good, some songs better than others but none that are bad at all.
