"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

"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

"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
