"The Who's second album is a much more democratic affair than it's predecessor, my generation. Both Roger Daltrey and even Keith Moon contribute to the songwriting, but unfortunately again like, my generation, it flatters to deceive. There is some good stuff here though, Boris the spider, is one o..." [+] Reply

"Very good album. I relate this to Hurry Up, We're Dreaming from last year. Fairly long, double album, with one colossus song, and a whole bunch of pretty decent ones. Few unnecessary instrumental tracks though, and a bit long. Overall, as of April 7th 2012, probably the best album of the year so ..." [+] Reply

"Alice Cooper are (and is) my all time favourite band, and this is my favourite Alice Cooper album. I also wore out several copies of this album on vinyl. For me there isnt a track below 9/10 on this opus, I love it to death...so to speak !" Reply

"This album is like nothing I've ever heard before... every track is just fantastic, not a single filler, with this superbe gloomy atmosphere that permeates every second of it. It's quiet, dark and unpredictable in the way of using so many instruments together and in the way of songs' structure. A..." [+] Reply

"Enjoyably listenable pop. Tons of disco and soul influence on the writing and sound. Just a good modern take on that whole genre. Not innovative or avant garde, just really listenable." Reply

"As much as I love Q-Tip and company, the crew at Tribe might be pansies compared to Pharcyde. Sometimes the lyrics here go a bit too far, but production-wise, I can't think of a better non-Kanye rap album. It's as jazzy as jazz-rap could be." Reply

"The debut from Jack and Meg is a raw, stripped down, electric guitar and drum, in your face affair that plain kicks ass. And there's 17 tracks of it, none longer than 3:22. So even though the songs mostly have a similar feel to them, the album moves right along and keeps the energy going right th..." [+] Reply

"I think these American Recordings series should really be sold as Johnny Cash, by Rick Rubin. As Rubin's influence is what made the difference in Cash's career over the last decade of his life. What a gift that was to the music world. Every one of these is superb. While this one isn't my personal..." [+] Reply
