"This group confuses me. It's like, why would you go out of your way to sound like Eurotrash? You're Canadian, you've got plenty of stereotypes of your own, quit hogging them all!" Reply

"Dear Lord. I have a headache after listening to this album, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. You know, after over a decade of time, what is considered "harsh" or "extreme" or "intense" usually gets a little watered down with future releases. But this. This. Holy shit. It's ..." [+] Reply

"One of the most consistent Frank Zappa albums of the seventies(along with, bongo fury, and, zoot allures). Still sounds like nothing and no one else. Great googly woogly." Reply

"So, I was wrong. This is actually quite a cool album, if given proper consideration. Part of the problem with appreciating it is that it's so different in both instrumentation and general mood than most other hip-hop. All of the tracks have a really unique kinda UK garage/downtempo/IDM sound to t..." [+] Reply

"A great double album from Sting contains some of his best songs Englishman In New York, Fragile, a good cover of Little Wing and 3 songs about how the heart rules over the head Lazarus... Straight To My... and Be Still my Beating.... They Dance Alone & We'll Be Together deserve a mention also. Ov..." [+] Reply

"Now, at last, an indie sensibility is turning into a movement. This (not the repetitive "An Awesome Wave") is the document. Featuring warm foothills, female rebels, and duels. Above all, "love is the warmest color"" Reply

"It's a decent album, but it's carried entirely by the two personalities behind the microphone. The production is a little scattershot and pales in comparison to anything West did on MBDTF. When they're rapping about world issues there are some good lines, but when they're rapping about fame and n..." [+] Reply

"Like all Bauhaus albums (imho), the songs are hit or miss. "Stigmata Martyr" is an untouchable gother-than-sin masterpiece, and "In the Flat Field" and "Double Dare" are up there too. But then there are tracks like "Dive" that you just have to suffer through. I admire Bauhaus for their adventurou..." [+] Reply
