"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

"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

"If I could only choose one Dinosaur Jr album for the rest of my life, it'd probably be Where you Been. One of the best hard rock albums of all time IMNSHO. :lol: It's more richly produced than his other albums & is embellished with strings & instruments Phil Spector-style, but I think that only g..."  [+]  Reply

"So much of this years music has been a struggle to listen to, not this one, difficult second album it is not, spilling confidently from one track to another. Sounding distinctly more Alternative than last years Dogrel, a more morose tone is struck. Grian’s vocals are once more an oasis of origina..."  [+]  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

The Harder They Come 
Soundtrack compilation
"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

"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

"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

"Billie Balearic Beat Yeah 've had varying responses to the Billie phenomenon, her first album was one of the first times listening to it I just felt old- what seemed to be heralded as this brilliant bit of noir pop I just saw a lot of teenage I-cracked-the-code posturing and the fact that the sou..."  [+]  Reply
