"An astonishing performance by Yes on a record that is very under appreciated. The instrumentals on this album are amazing and stun me every time I hear them. The guitar work is just outstanding and this is exemplified by the 15 minute epic Awaken which is the best track on this album. This song e..." [+] Reply

"Garbage's "version 2.0" built off of what they did on "1.0". It's a sum of the parts of 3 tech-savvy studio producers, guitars and shirley's snarl. "special" is the standout track, but other hits include "i think i'm paranoid", "push it" and "when i grow up". The non-hits are a little better than..." [+] Reply

"Like most of the albums of Genesis' pop phase, this one is quite inconsistent. The good songs can stand up to the band's prog staples, but the bad songs are lightyears behind even the worst songs on Nursery Crime through A Trick of the Tail. "Mama" is one of Genesis' best tracks. It's eerie, ener..." [+] 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

"First three songs and 47 are really, really impressive but after that the album just falls falls on it's back with hopeless repetitions of the same lyrics and instrumentation. I can sense the immense potential these guys had on this record but I was still super disappointed that it didn't pay off..." [+] Reply

"Lifelong PJH fan here and ‘Dry’ is where it’s at for me , the debut ground floor entry for an amazing catalogue and here’s why I simply love the guitars on this release from the driving “O Stella” to the classic “Sheela-na-gig “ and driving “Dress” the licks are on point and get me every time the..."
