"In the late nineties and early 2000's, Bruce Springsteen was at a bit of a loss. He had recently reformed the E street band for a successful tour, but Springsteen hadn't released an album of new material since, the ghost of Tom Joad, in 1995. Springsteen was also at his best when he had something..."  [+]  Reply

"I listen to this one on vinyl all the time since my uncle gave me an original copy along with Purple Rain. The sum is greater than it's parts for sure as it has a loose concept going on based on the horrible movie Prince directed (The one talent he didn't exactly shine in, though a decent actor)...."  [+]  Reply

""mother and child reunion" and "me and julio down by the schoolyard" are both here. This is as good as you'd expect from the chief songwriter and main voice of simon & garfunkel. You still hear the same street-wise, folksy common-folk narratives woven into songs as catchy as he is short. There ar..."  [+]  Reply

"Far removed from Pink Flag. Seems like another step forward into unchartered territory after Chairs Missing. Really inventive guitar sounds, creating a unique atmosphere."  Reply

"I'm not much of an Elton John fan; too showy and pop style above substance for my taste. However, this is one of my personal favorites and an album I'll never get tired of listening to. It has lyrics that are delivered with real emotion and warmth in tracks like "Someone Saved my Life Tonight" an..."  [+]  Reply

"Love this strategy of having 12 songs that are all good and interesting, performances that are tight and dynamic, and production that's organic and warm and punchy. More artists should try this because it might make their music good."  Reply

"Great sound, almost combines Guns N Roses style hair metal with Cocteau Twins style dream pop. All tracks are good to great ("Rhinoceros", maybe the best ever Pumpkins song?) with maybe the exception of "Suffer". Overall a must-own for Pumpkins fans."  Reply

"Yes that is the same sample White Town used, and being able to recognize it immediately makes me feel really fucking old. Anyways I actually really dig this! maybe doesn't quite have enough of the "Future" that's promised early on at least sonically (except on "Don't Start Now", which feels like ..."  [+]  Reply
