"A record that is a tale of two sides with one being extremely mellow and delicate and the other being aggressive and loud. This contrast works brilliantly in my opinion and it makes both sides stand out more effectively. It benefits the second half a lot more with songs like Hero sounding far mor..." [+] Reply

"Liked this more on another (third) listen. Didn't find it quite as bland as before. Though it might just be a consequence of listening to "Kill for Love" beforehand. Anyway.. I still don't think it's anywhere near their debut. The sound is there though, and I do think there are tracks here, which..." [+] Reply

"Rock fans were eager for a decent Rock band in the early 2000's. At this point all there was on offer was screamy punk rock like My Chemical Romance or no fat fast rock like The Strokes. So people jumped on Kings of Leon. Their first two albums aren't that good and overrated. They are weirdly del..." [+] Reply

"This a great blues rock record that sounds amazingly like led zeppelin would a few years later. Rod Stewart's vocals are uncannily like Robert Plant at times and Beck's wonderful guitar playing is just as good as Jimmy Page. There are some odd choices of songs, like ol man river but they work ver..." [+] Reply

"These songs stay with you. Later in his career Waits would tell stories about dashed dreamers, but here you feel that he's really one of them. A very moving experience." Reply

"The soundtrack to a jungle trek. It starts off with Circle (which is the best on the album by far) in which you are enter the jungle, basking in the sun, and then BAM!, a stampede comes straight away, and you're running away panicking. After the first 20 minutes of your journey you start to settl..." [+] Reply

"Considered a classic, Songs About Fucking certain contains a half hour of noisy madness. I think I may need a few more listen in the future to understand more of this band since they are a well known act in the noise rock community. But I think this this album is cool to listen if you wanna liste..." [+] Reply

"a good friend of mine once walked into the room while i was listening to this album, and after a while he said that the music was like the sonic equivalent of an old roll of movie film that is faded, rough, and darkened around the edges and is always just on the verge of breaking. i thought that ..."
