I saw Entroducing.... and got so excited, but the rest of that team does nothing for me. I'm a known R.E.M. hater and now I'll make it known that I don't think Outkast has made a solid album either (tremendous songs, not albums).

"He is simply there, transported by his words and his voicing of them. No one in popular music, including Van Morrison himself, has since come close to that exalted place .", Sean O'Hagan, The Observer
"This is the most beautiful, personal, and layered piece of music I have ever heard. It's the closest thing to perfect I can think of." - M Hurley, BEA

"not only is every wee tune--motive, as composers say--as well-crafted as a Coke commercial, they all mesh together into one of those musical wholes you've read about. With bohemia permanent and changed utterly, this early attack on its massification hasn't so much dated as found its context. Cheap sarcasm is forever." - Robert Christgau, Robert Christgau
"It is interesting that someone so satirical, cynical, and goofy could deliver an album of such musical depth. All the songs are incredibly catchy, some even moving, yet the lyrics are for the most part really silly and sarcastic. And it all completely works", Elston, BEA

"People take pictures of the Summer,
Just in case someone thought they had missed it,
And to proved that it really existed."

" 36 years after its first release, The Village Green Preservation Society, loaded with so much imagination and possibility, stands more than ever as a vital work, and as one of rock's first classic, one-of-a-kind albums.", J.H. Tompkins, Pitchfork Media
"the album is both forward-thinking and backward-minded, a collision of bygone musical styles with the progressive sensibilities of the late '60s; t's a one-of-a-kind record, the product of true inspiration." - Jason Akeny, AllMusic
