"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..."

"Best album i've heard in ages...this is the first album for me that truly captures the spirit of Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted. I'm not saying they sound like Pavement, but you can feel the similarities in the way the album jumps around. The track 'Borrowed Time' has the greatest chorus The Damn..." [+] 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

"#5 on my list. The masterpiece of the greatest genius of brazilian music. Few people have understood and loved Brazil as Caetano and this is historic. Valeu, brasucas!" Reply

"This album is one my top 100 albums you can check out here. I think the Stranglers were the first punk band we heard of in Belgium, not because we heard the music but because there were a lot of scandal press messages that songs of the Stranglers were banned from the BBC, of course with "Peaches"..."

"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

"This album is really good, it starts with a bang with Underdog, WDATLG? and Fast Fuse, all fantastic songs. Take Aim, Thick as Thieves, Vlad the Impaler are all pretty good too, and of course Fire is the killer track. Some weak tracks like West Ryder Silver Bullet and Secret Alphabets, but other ..."

"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

""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

"You know, I've probably heard Stayin Alive a thousand times in my life but the funny thing about that song is that it actually rocks. Jive Talkin, You Should Be Dancing, Night Fever... there was a reason this was so huge: because it really was quite good." Reply
