"For me, this is the album of the decade so far. It combines shoegaze, which is probably my favourite genre, with the Dinousaur Jr. esque indie rock sound, which I also love, and the result is truly fantastic. This album is so very underrated- I mean, its not even in the top ten of the year, when ..." [+] Reply

"Both Illusion records get an 8/10 from me even though there is plenty of filler on both.Personally I believe they should of made a single record and kept the rest for b-sides and future records. My ideal Use Your Illusion album would be: 1) Civil War 2) You Could Be Mine 3) Dust N Bones 4) Live a..." [+] Reply

"Even if he doesn't seem to realize it to this day, being thrown out of Metallica was undoubtedly the best thing that could have happened to Mustaine, not least because, well, it eventually paved the way for this - a distinctive, punkish, scorching and urgent beast of an album further elevated by ..."

"An excellent metal album which I have gotten into more with repeated listens. 'Holy Diver' and 'Don't Talk to Strangers' are awesome metal tracks, in fact the latter is one of my all time favourite metal tracks. A very underrated metal classic." Reply

"I'm not quite sure how this is only rated as XTC's 6th best album on BEA. Perhaps people are listening to the CD reissue which for some strange reason added the bonus tracks Smokeless Zone, Don't Lose Your Temper & The Somnombulist right in the middle of the original track listing instead of tagg..."

"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

"As most mainstream pop albums, it's fairly inconsistent. There's a lot of filler (How you get the girl, This love, I know places), but the songs that do work are pretty good, I must admit. I think that the run of "Blank space", "Style", "Out of the woods" and "All you had to do was stay" is great..." [+] Reply

"Important album for the electronic/dance genre. Justice exploded with fame and did so much for the genre just with one album. The harder dance/house nature of this album would prove as a precursor to all the aggressive dubstep now that has grown in the past year. There's something revolutionary a..." [+] Reply
