"MJK can do no wrong in my book. This album has been a mainstay in my collection/playlists for years and I still come back to it over and over again. The record flows so well. It is everything from soothing on tracks like, "The Noose" to the explosive numbers like "Pet". In an unusual fashion for ..." [+] Reply

"I must confess, this is my favourite REM album. After Bill Berry left the band had to do something different and this a great leftfield turn. There's certainly no rockers on here, it's more of an electronic album. I wouldn't say there's any great individual tracks, maybe apart from at my most bea..." [+] Reply

"New Wave was never the most coherent of genres and this release only marginally fits into that categorisation. The loose guitars, not-so-subtle synths and pounding drums, alongside Matt Johnson’s soulful vocals, make for a wonderful listen, however. Worth your time. Rating: Very Good Best track: ..."

"Definitely disappointed. Although this is pretty good pop rap, this isn't exactly where I wanted Chance's music to go. Singles like 'Angels' got me hoping for a mixtape with that tropical type sound and some gospel 'Ultralight Beam' stuff mixed in. Chance went for a very mainstream pop-rap sound ..." [+] Reply

"Destroying my soul and ego slowly but completely, tears coming out from my half-closed eyes, the whole world fading out from my view, fireworks burning inside of my brain, the future arriving in some obscure places... It's a beautiful tragedy" Reply

"My favorite Santana album, which is not always easy to explain to people; but looking at the comments here and reflecting on the number of randomly met people who have joined in the opinion, perhaps I shouldn't bother?" 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
