Probably the best guitar album in existence. Period.

Be warned that the blend of pop and alternative on Weezer's first two albums can be addictive. I can't tell you how many hours I wasted listening to those twenty perfect songs. It's too bad they used all their best material at the beginning of their career, however, because they've sucked ever since.

This is one of those albums that's just as enjoyable now as when I first played it back in the mid 90's.

Debut albums don't get any better than this. The Blue Album is Power Pop at its absolute pinnacle.

The greatest live album ever.

Fantastic. Cobain was so vulnerable and yet charming on this record. Meat Puppets added to the flavour, and he does Bowie better than Bowie. So great.

You can FEEL his barest of feelings clawing out of his gravely voice, each guitar string plucked painstakingly as perfect as the moment deserves. It's like a diary entry in the life of a musical genius.

I love this album for being so naked, so introspective, self-critical and confused. We don't even like admitting to each other that we feel this way, so props to Germano for capturing it on record. What more can I say, I absolutely love this album.

Harrowing, allegorical, introspective and self-referential, 'Geek The Girl' is reminiscent of a 'Dante-esque' ending to a thriller. Reviving the lugubrious nightmares of Nico and the sad fables of Leonard Cohen, Germano's world is a deeply unsettling one. The album is steeped in a kind of atmosphere of insecurity and madness which seems to be both heartfelt and personal but is expressed in a way that relates to the stories of women the world over.

It's always mystified me that this album is overlooked in favour of 'Standards' or 'Millions Now Living...'. This is a fantastic album.

If you need to own just one Tortoise album make it this one.

Unbelievable trancey, meditative, spooky first Tortoise album.

Sadly, people tend to avoid this record for their later records, which is a shame. But whatever dude, you're the ones missing out on Night Air, Tin Cans and Twine, Ry Cooder and Cornpone Brunch. Losers!
