"I was disappointed when this album was first release: it's so electronic! Not heavy at all! Where's the guitar?!? I felt like my favorite band had betrayed me. As the years went by, though, I began to see the great strengths of this album. There is some stellar songwriting, lots of great layering..." [+] Reply

"Ah back when country music had some class. Songs about something other than the pap crap that passes for country today. A classic and classy record in every sense of the word." Reply

"Joe Jackson's magnum opus, a tight set of songs. My favorite LP of his (and usually the consensus pick for his best album by most). Really dig the Latin-esque flavors he throws in, like on 'Target' and 'Cancer'. And of course, the one-two punch of 'Steppin Out' to 'Breaking Us In Two' is killer. ..." [+] Reply

"So right now A Day In The Life is the best song by The Beatles, The 8th best song by The Beatles, and the 19th best song by The Beatles. Literally why." Reply

"LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT A very unique album if I do say so myself. At the beginning of the marvelous decade known as the 90's, Primus released not just one, but 2 amazing pieces of insanity. The style of singing that sounds like a stereotypical white male attempting to impersonate a stereotypical w..." [+] Reply

"I much prefer this album to 'Pictures at an Exibition'. It is a more melodic and cohesive affair. I particularly like 'Battlefield' which give 'Yes' and 'Genesis' a run for their money. I am not so keen on the way Keith Emerson chose to play his Moog, for example 'Aquatarkus' is a very 'plinky pl..." [+] Reply

"This is a strange album. I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever really heard a band have a sound quite like this. I’ve heard some similar, but this is definitely unique. It’s electronic, it’s avant-garde and it’s rock all in one. It’s incoherent, yet somehow there’s some kind of coherency within i..." [+] Reply

"This is definitely the start of the end for Oasis. They seem to have lost their spark and their edge on the songs and there is such a large amount of filler and weak tracks on here. It is such a bloated release as well with it coming in at around an hour and 11 minutes with some songs being stret..." [+] Reply
