"First great lp of the 2000's, pity the band were later eclipsed by Elbow who (imho) aren't as good. Standout tracks: Rise, Lost Souls, and The Cedar Room." Reply

"Another strong album from Elton John when he was unstoppable. Personally, I don't think, honky chateau, is quite as good as, madman, or, tumbleweed, but it's still a decent record. Honky cat, I think I'm going to kill myself, are strong cuts, but the best without doubt is, rocket man, one of Elto..." [+] Reply

"I really love the vibe on this album. It's not grandiose, but sincere and moody. People might call it too short, but when listening it doesnt really feel to short (though I do love it so much that I woudn't say no to more). It feels much more concise than short; he whittles away all the excesses ..." [+] Reply

"To me this is a very meh album, this is my typical response to most of their post Achtung baby output. To me the band has become a caricature of themselves. it always seems like they are trying to be U2 instead of just making music." Reply

"This album is another great release by Kings of Leon. I hope to see it higher in the ranks in the future along with their 1st and 2nd albums. My Party is the weak link in this album for me, but it still isn't a bad song and the album as a whole is awesome. This album had a more heavy rock and gru..." [+] Reply

"I totally agree with you,Bork. It's not bad. It's all listeanable, but you're right. There are no interesting songs here. Really,there's nothing essential of theirs after Pinkerton. Rivers Cuomo decided medocre was the artistic height he was willing to reach for from here on." Reply
