"The first Cure album is a great punky rock'n'roll record. 10:15 Saturday night, accuracy, grinding halt, and, fire in Cairo, are all superb. The cure really were a proper band at this moment and they would never again sound so energetic, punchy, and outright enjoyable. Good album." 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

"I was impressed by this album way more than I thought I would be, jeez this woman has a voice. Feelin Good and I Put a Spell on You are both incredible songs and it's nice to see Simone give a nod to an amazing artist like Brel (she has an admirable accent for an American but as a French-speaking..."

"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

"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

"This is the first time of have been slightly disappointed by a Tyler album due to a lack of evolution of his sound, which mimics Flower Boy and CMIYGL but with diminishing returns. After the release of Sorry Not Sorry, I was expecting Tyler to really change things up. Despite lyrics inferring tha..." [+] 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

"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
