"One of the most underrated albums of all time. This is also the closest Green Day will get to a Beatle-esque record. Very solid album." Reply

"I don't quite understand why this album is so highly rated. I think it's a dreary album full of tired old twelve bars and derivative re-writes of old pop and folk tunes. Too many Dylan albums are like this these days. I must admit though I think working man blues is brilliant and thunder on the m..." [+] Reply

"I can't believe that I liked a Taylor Swift album. A great crossover album. A collection of radio-friendly singles some of which will play top 40, some will play country and some indy. It is produced and tuned up the wazoo so you have to accept that. I enjoyed 12 of the 16 songs and thought 3 of ..." [+] Reply

"One of the most disorienting albums I've ever heard. Silver Apples' debut is a genuine psychedelic experience. It was far ahead of its time and remains fresh today." Reply

"After several listening, I find this still their best after all, and Into the Labyrinth and Aion come second among all their works, but this record is unparalleled in terms of atmosphere on the score arrangement. The only things I don't like about it are the utter separation into 4 tracks by Bren..." [+] Reply

"Not as immediately striking to me as 22, A Million. But to be fair, 22 A Million is one of my all time favorite albums. I just never heard something quite so gripping as Over Soon or Deathbreast. It feels almost, alllmostttt, like an alternative R&B album. Which is nice, but I much preferred his ..." [+] Reply
