"Forever thankful for this album because it got me into electronic music. Personally to me it is one of those moments where you are like "Wow I didn't know music can sound like this". Objectively speaking, this album does have flaws and has some filler tracks mostly because CC just wanted to put o..." [+] Reply

"This is insanely good, revelatory even. Black Thought at his best since early Roots, Danger Mouse providing a very clean and modern take on classic beats, and a star studded list of features, each proving why they need to be included rather than being shoved in with nothing to do. Aquamarine is t..." [+] Reply

"Want something different? Here you go. Bad Brains is a former jazz & fusion band made up of African American Rastafarians who love reggae and fast punk. The album was originally released on cassette only, reissued in 1996 with a bonus track. It's the fastest, most well played punk you'll ever hea..." [+] Reply

"Really really reaaaally enjoying this album right now. While this album does have a fair amount of pop appeal (looking at the production on Big Fish, as well as Rain Come Down as a whole), it manages to very much have its own sound. "Yeah Right" is contagiously energetic and bombastic to no end, ..." [+] Reply

"This album changed my world in 1983. I had a C-cassette that I got from my friend, I just turned it over and over again... Superb and timeless...1990 was a sad year when we lost him. The energy and skill is just unbelievanble" Reply

"Not convinced Elton John is the genius he's said to be? Take a listen to this one and see if you change your mind. Don't have time for a whole album? Closer "Burn Down the Mission" should do just fine." Reply

"I rate the UK version of this album as their third best of the sixties after Let it Bleed and Beggars Banquet. Despite losing Satisfaction, Play with Fire and The Last Time I just feel the UK version flows better. Some of the replacements aren't too shabby anyway...Heart of Stone, Gotta Get Away ..."

"(Consistent and cohesive debut LP from Magdalena Bay. Some top-tier synthpop - creative, catchy and quite beautiful.) I am a fan of this album. The things I love about great synthpop are here in droves. Those being a charming childlike wonderousness that is infectious when you listen, lots of cat..." [+] Reply
