"Great album from KGLW, and also the precursor to their follow-up album and masterpiece; Nonagon infinity. The album's beginning tracks are a wild continuous ride full of hips shaking and head bobbing highlights. It is definitly one of those projects with a remmeberable start. It is also quite sur..."

"Why is this ranked so low? Jim Croce was one of the best songwriters of all time, not to mention a fantastic guitarist, singer and storyteller. He was in the same social circle as Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett, and I think he was simply the most talented of the four." Reply

"for me, early rap music has not aged particularly well.. seminal though it may be, this just doesn't hold up against anything today.. lyrically or musically.. whereas in other genres, the groundbreaking releases seem to compare very favourably to modern equivalents" Reply

"The Cult was one of my favorite rock bands of the eighties, with Ian Astbury's Jim Morrison-like persona and Billy Duffy's scorching work on the guitar leading the charge. The Cult managed to weave together New Wave eighties vocal stylings, the loudness and grittiness of metal, and the New Age my..." [+] Reply

"Since the 70s there really hasn't been an artist that has put out more than 3 strong albums (usually in a row) and Pearl Jam knocked that usual trend with their 5th strong album straight. They come out pretty straight-forward rockin' on this one for the most part after (and as an extension of) th..." [+] Reply

"This is actually quite an underrated album. It's certainly Faith no more's most diverse and eclectic album. It features all kinds of sounds from metal to country, from funk to ballads, all delivered in that unique FNM way. A very good album, you may not realise how good it actually is." Reply

"High quality consistent indie folk record w/ a few touches of shoegaze. No tracks blew me away (parts of tracks did) but I was consistently impressed all the way through. Most genuinely solid record I've heard this year. Not as transcendent as the peaks of 'Titanic Rising' but I can throw it on a..." [+] Reply
