"Pretty consistent album. I think it lacks a killer track, but it's nice to listen from start to finish. If you like Interpol you have to check it out Best tracks: Lights, Munich, All Sparks, Blood, Bullets" Reply

"The beat for Tuscan Leather is amazing. And Hold On We're Going Home is an incredible song.. I wouldn't be surprised if he released an album of strictly R&B tracks." Reply

"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay has to be one of the all-time great tracks for empathy. You can really imagine the lack of direction, sense of loss, and searching for hope. You can see yourself sitting there with him watching time roll away. What a craftsman with his voice." Reply

"Stop being a snob, Iggy. At least she writes her own music and sets her own trends. She may not be your taste, but you have to respect her talent." 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

"For those angry about our world today, Brutalism is the record we've been waiting for. Vivacious, loud and essential. Blends a phenomenal concoction of noise rock, punk and grunge and delivers it with all the sternness of a sledgehammer. The pace is fast and urgent, opening with three outstanding..." [+] Reply

"Really good album by Peggy Lee. 10’ Decca vinyl is good, but the same 10’ Brunswick is superb. Anyway both has good points and bad points, you should listen both and enjoy those differences." Reply

"Quite a simple collection of songs that are trying to hook you to their choruses and make you sing them for the rest of the day. This works to a varying degree of success with the best tracks coming very early on. Almost every track on side 1 has a fantastic chorus and is so infectious to listen ..." [+] Reply

"Sixteen Stone, sixteen degrees of awesomeness. As far as debut albums go this is one of the best. Sadly Bush would never came within a Bulls Roar of repeating Sixteen Stone ( though Swallowed is pretty awesome) . I’ve had a long love affair with this album and often play it to this day . All kill..." [+] Reply
