"This album is definitely one of Janet's best. It's one of those rare albums that is fantastic from start to finish. "Rhythm Nation 1814" was quite a contrast to her mega breakthrough album, "Control." "Rhythm Nation 1814" would spawn a jaw dropping SEVEN top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. A rec..." [+] Reply

"This album is honestly perfect. It's everything I wanted it to be, and more. The lyrics and hooks have improved from the already great "Saturation," and the group has even more personality and character in this one. If I didn't know about the background of the group, I wouldn't have known who was..." [+] Reply

"This is a very solid record in terms of music. 10 solid songs, with good melodies, and interesting instrumentation. The problem lies in the lack of stand out material. Everything here is very simple, and in many ways very 50s. Tracks like Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Save Me, Play the Game, ar..." [+] Reply

"The album consists of four extended jams of 18-19 minutes duration that combine minimalistic keyboards, outstanding jazz horns on three of the four jams (particularly, Hopper's 'Facelift'), saxophone, flute and, in Robert Wyatt, some of the greatest drumming ('Slightly All The Time') and expressi..."

"Ok, so screw the Fantano review, I'm giving my own feedback now. I'm not the biggest Tool fan, but as far as comebacks go this is a pretty good one (7/10). They are not reinventing the wheel or anything with this record, but that's because they don't need to. It all feels very Tool, which I would..." [+] Reply
