On this release, she's managed a solid collection, including a couple of real standout tracks. I suspect her best album is ..." [+] Reply

"Wow, does Paul McCartney seem revitalized or what? I've never been a huge McCartney fan, but there's a focus to this album i haven't ever seen in his solo works, including any of his recent stuff all the way back to "Ram". He works with a handful of producers to deliver a very good album with no ..." [+] Reply

"Solid if not great. Front-loaded as well. But the first side is classic Tom Petty at the height of his power." Reply

"A very unique sounding album. I'm impressed by the incredibly clean instrumentals and the idiosyncratically authentic lyrics that cover a wide variety of topics but never falter. From the start, the album is abrasive but it also possesses the chaotic form that continues throughout. Consistently g..." [+] Reply

"I wasn't a big fan of "Trouble" when it came out, but I heard "Jolene" last week and was blown away..."Jolene" is a masterpiece, perfect arrangement, paints a vivid picture of addiction and lonliness, great vocals" Reply

"Listening to Teenager of the Year, I can't help but be amazed at the amount of music this man had inside of him.

"This is a really good album by far her best up to this point all the uptempo tracks come one after the other followed by the slower tracks at the end of the album. It runs very smoothly best tracks for me are If, Throb, That's the Way Love Goes & all the slower tacks at the end. A great RnB album..." [+] Reply
