"Their first 3 albums (Stand Up, This Was & Benefit) share a hard blues feel that would be seriously dampened after their big hit Aqualung. If you like the heavier/blues side of Tull go towards these earlier albums; if you like their folksier/prog side, the '70s albums starting with TAAB are for y..." [+] Reply

"Incredible debut, the founding father of southern rock albums, rarely if ever equaled. It doesn't get much better than this. Solid lineup of tracks from beginning to end. Highlights include, 'Black Hearted Woman' which has an almost Hendrix sound to it, and one of the greatest LP climax's with 'W..." [+] Reply

"Radiohead makes a very original album just to experiment with new sounds and people say it's groundbreaking, but when M.I.A. does it, she's trying too hard and it's originality for the sake of originality. Well, I liked Arular. It displayed a completely fresh sound, and I congratulate M.I.A. for ..." [+] Reply

"Yes that is the same sample White Town used, and being able to recognize it immediately makes me feel really fucking old. Anyways I actually really dig this! maybe doesn't quite have enough of the "Future" that's promised early on at least sonically (except on "Don't Start Now", which feels like ..." [+] Reply

"Consistently interesting listen, with less of the ELO generic orchestra gimmickry. Probably their second best album for me, after their first. Best songs are the El Dorado Overture, Laredo Tornado and the finale." Reply

"Though her subsequent work often leaves me cold, O'Connor's debut is a brilliant, eclectic collection in which even the love songs, such as the gorgeous "Just Like U Said It Would B," sound fiery and raw. "Troy," one of the finest songs of the decade, is a devastating entreaty to an ex-lover she ..." [+] Reply
