"One of the most stunningly beautiful debut albums ever. It's a Brilliant LP, obviously heavily influenced by John Barry, Sergio Leone, and, Shirley Bassey, is effortlessly fuses different styles and sounds to form something utterly original. Some great tracks in, utopia, human, and, deer stop. It..." [+] Reply

"Ok, time for a real comment and not just reference to other existing bands. This album, for me, lived fully up to the hype I gave it, which was a lot. Mostly because of how good Narrator was as a single. The Squid boys are masters of combining groovy, melodic sections with experimental walls of s..." [+] Reply

"Their best album yet. Great mix of prog, jazz, and of course, their brand of psychedelia. Some great, abrupt turns and great grooves throughout. And of course, they get into that classic I'm In Your Mind Fuzz medley groove that was so prevalent throughout Nonagon Infinity and Murder of the Univer..." [+] Reply

"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

"Not a lot of albums sound much like this. Very raw and aggressive. They had a message to send and sent it. Suite-Pee, Spiders, and Suggestions are some of my favorite SOAD songs." Reply

"This is definitely my favorite Kate Bush album, so I was surprised to find it so low. The words “too effiminate” for a moment made me lose all faith in humankind; will there ever be a day where feminine will not mean childish or dumb or... you know the drill. And the dislikes are nice, but I see ..." [+] Reply

"Most probably the heaviest Sabbath album out there, serving up a plethora of quality tracks. 'Hole In The Sky', 'Megalomania', 'Sympton Of The Universe' and 'Am I Going Insane' being top of the tree in both riffery and vocal delivery. Sadly, I think the cover art is crap and I really wish they ha..." [+] Reply

"With their rich combination of Steve Reich-style minimilism, dub, electronic music, funk, progressive Canterbury-style jazz-rock and rhythmic experimentation, Tortoise have invented a music that is closer to classical and jazz than rock." Reply
