"Jeff Lynne was a popmeister. Confusion and Don't Bring Me Down were brilliant in that right but tracks like Midnight Blue cemented this as another solid outing by a band that was unabashedly Beatles-esque... yet not."  Reply

"FINDING YOUR HOME But tonight I just want to stay in And be with you, And be with you - Every Night The right girl (or boy) can make all the difference.

"Greetings from Asbury park, is one of the great singer/songwriter debuts. It's still a little short on identity, which is fair enough, and certainly has Springsteen's influences on show in a kind of hybrid of Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. The production is a bit muddy, and a lot of the songs would ..."  [+]  Reply

"Good blues, with some of Clapton's best playing outside of Layla propelling it to classic level. If you like Clapton, it's an absolute must. If you like blues, I recommend a listen at the least."  Reply

"While Faces will likely always be my favourite project of his, this just might be his most consistent and compact project to date. There aren't any songs that feel like filler or pandering to his old frat-rap sound as he's found necessary on previous albums. It's a straightforward collection of s..."  [+]  Reply

"NIN are a hell of a band (it’s a bit more complex than that) but they can be pretty hard to get into. Trent Reznor’s style of dark, swirling thumping music is fantastic and doesn’t really have a good comparison (perhaps later Radiohead and Marilyn Manson) but it’s easy to get lost or disintereste..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic album by the Keys, easily one of their best. Some of their best songs are on here, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch. By this point they had developed into one of the best rock bands in the business."  Reply

""mechanical animals" was marilyn manson's "david bowie album" and probably lost him a few metal fans because of it. But for me, it's my favorite manson album, rising above the usual manson-whored metal template to put a glam sheen on depravity. That "rock is dead" song from the matrix is here, bu..."  [+]  Reply

"Perfect autumnal music. She mixes drone, echoes, and guitar to make something that really sounds like no other album. Can this be characterized as ghostly folk? Each song is recognizable so no need to worry if you're going to get a monotonous album here."  Reply
