"One of the most underated album ever. THis is the best guitar album of the 90's by a margin." Reply

""mechanical animals" was marilyn manson's "david bowie album" and probably lost him a few metal fans because of it. But for me, it's my favorite manson album, rising above the usual manson-whored metal template to put a glam sheen on depravity. That "rock is dead" song from the matrix is here, bu..." Reply

"Rather than play their songs as we know them, Daft Punk boldly reimagines their best songs by collaging their catalog into a fantasia of electronic dance music that never loses a step. Bigger and better than the sum of its parts." Reply

"Growing up ain’t easy. Not even for rich college kids. And it seems our boys have had their hearts handed to them once or twice since their shimmering debut. There is a haze of melancholy that hangs over this album. Plus, the crisp pace and immediacy of the debut is traded in for a more lazy, non..." Reply

"The odd and rapidly shifting time signatures are pretty interesting, and there's some very intricate guitar interplay. The album has a lot of impressive moments instrumentally in the first half. I felt the lack of better songs and hooks holds the album back, and it failed to sustain my interest o..." Reply

"Recorded with the band circled around a single microphone in Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity, this album's intimacy and immediacy reflects the surroundings in which it was made. The result is a a languid, dreamy, haunting listening experience. The band's sound centers on the custard-smooth v..." Reply

"I really don't know what I'm rating here. I bought the double disc 2005 reissue. The album itself is nice, nothing as special as "Souvlaki", but really hypnotic stuff anyhow. But the real standout here is disc 2 which brings together Slowdive's first 3 amazing EPs. I actually prefer it to the alb..." Reply

"Love this album! Different than their old sound for sure but in a wonderful way. Might have been liked more if it was a Stipe solo album instead. I've never been against a change in sound just as long as a band can make it work. It's my third favorite REM album. Definitely consider it underrated." Reply
