"“I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me. I work with very few elements - with one voice, two voices. I build with primitive materials - with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three..." [+] Reply

"Soda Stereo is one of the few non-anglophone bands whose discography can give artists like The Beatles and Radiohead a run for their money, pioneering all the way through to their final album. Although Canción Animal is normally regarded as their greatest work, its follow-up, Dynamo, is much more..." [+] Reply

"The album starts off very strong but then starts to fade in the middle and nearer the end. This is mainly due to the songs not being as infectious and it gets a little less experimental as well. This excludes the closing track which is simply phenomenal. The opening of the album starts with diver..." [+] Reply
"Because all music is designed for grown ups who behave responsibly. Music isn't about fun, you have to solve lifes problems, ponder existence and dabble with hamfisted socialist slogans and write songs about anorexia to go with it." Reply

"It was a consistently good seller(Reprise MS 2064) throughout the 70s and 80s and got a lot of airplay in the same period, especially for "Political Science" and "Sail Away". One of my favorite albums and IMO his best, but also check out Randy Newman Live and "I think its going to rain today". I ..." [+] Reply

"The music sounds tighter, less loose than previous records although it isn't quite as memorable. The songs do grow on you over a period of time and it's still growing on me. I still don't know whether it's as good as, Yellow house, or, Veckatamist, but it's certainly different. Sounding less rust..." [+] Reply

"This is where Nightwish began taking it into the stratosphere. Their first 4 albums were good, but this album is truly excellent. Tarja's outstanding vocals were far more balanced between rock and opera on this album - a balance that the band would continue striking after firing her. Wish I Had a..." [+] Reply
"St. Vincent's "Actor" may be her most ambitious work to date. While "Strange Mercy" and "St. Vincent" developed her pop sense as well as built what has rapidly been recognized as her signature style, "Actor" lacked parameters for its songs and did little more (and perhaps less) than its predecess..."

"Most believe that Catch A Fire was the Wailer's big commercial breakthrough and in some ways it was, but this was their first album to chart well outside of Jamaica and had their all- time top 2 biggest hits ("I Shot the Sheriff", "Get Up, Stand Up"). Plus, Marley's "Burnin' and Lootin" and Livin..." [+] Reply

"I like the album. As a stand alone piece of music its a good deadpan indie rock record. But as a follow up to Sometimes I Sit & Think.. I just see no growth. Which I won't necessarily hold against her, since its not a bad sounding album either way and an artist doesn't always need to find a new s..." [+] Reply
