"After the breakup of DOOM's old band KMD, caused by the death of his brother and bandmate Subroc, DOOM (or Zen Love X as he was called at the time) went into a time of alcoholism and near homelessness. After some time he decided to get his shit together and return to the hip hop scene. He would w..."  [+]  Reply

"If we consider the context in which this album was made it is a miracle to have Learning to Fly, Sorrow, One Slip, Dogs of War and On the Turning Away gathered in "Momentary Lapse". In my opinion they are good songs and reflect a great change in Pink Floyd's way to compose and record new stuff. S..."  [+]  Reply

"I really like this a lot for its darkness. However I can understand why more ppl prefer Treasure and Heaven or Las Vegas, me myself included. I can't really tell which one of the three I love more. It just depends on the everyday mood I'm in. Treasure is more like a dark and gloomy dream with hop..."  [+]  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

"An essential piece of post-disco and art pop. For an album that is essentially a collection of covers, it feels incredibly personal and cohesive, combining excellent variation within its sound with brilliant execution and good structure. Jones cements herself here as one of the most interesting a..."  [+]  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

""John Prine" is a delightful folk album easily up there with the likes of "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme", "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" or "Sweet Baby James." Admittedly, it's greatest weakness is that the songs can sometimes be a hair trite ("Hello In There") However, the album works very well..."  [+]  Reply
