"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

"First New Order album sounds just like Joy Division without Ian Curtis' voice and lyrics. It's still a really good record and it's understandable that it would sound like their last record(i.e.. Joy Division) but it can't help being weighed down by that great band. Still, a good album, just livin..." [+] Reply

"ANTi is Rihanna's 8th album, and although it started off with low sales, it eventually went on to be a #1 album and spend 33 weeks inside the top ten of the Billboard 200, longer than any other black female album since 1994! The highlights of the album include "Same Ol' Mistakes", "Woo", and "Kis..." [+] Reply

"Richard Thompson, a founding member of Fairport Convention, is one of the more underrated guitarists of the rock era. Shoot Out The Lights is the 6th and final album he made with his wife Linda, and it's easily their best work. 6 of the songs came from an album they recorded with Gerry Rafferty t..." [+] Reply

"Find this album underrated, it's a really good. I must be in the minority here who views this album in a positive way. Favorite tracks are Badman's Song, Sowing The Seeds Of Love, Advice For The Young At Heart, Year Of The Knife, and Famous Last Words" Reply

"This is a sentimental favorite for sure, but there are a ton of great ideas here. It's a thought-out, well made pop album. There are the theatrics for which Panic! have become so famous. The songwriting isn't groundbreaking, but they shake it up (and we listen.) I have to love this album, and I d..." [+] Reply

"A very good collection of songs here. The first one, You Can Get It If You Really Want, was the strongest for me. Most the tracks on this album are very uplifting in their mood and there are few which I would call weak. Harder They Come and Sitting In Limbo are also highlights." 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

"When 'Babylon' cam bursting on to the airwaves in the year 2000 I was introduced to one of Englands best kept secrets....little did I know that the UK was really only discovering him as well. The singles are stand out, " Please Forgive me' & 'Sail Away'. There are no filler songs here every track..." [+] 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 ..."
