"It's got a nice vibe to it and Angel has a great, emotive voice. I liked the album but I don't think I could give it any more praise than that, as it is just not resonating with me the way it seems to for others. The longer the tracks go on the more my mind begins to wander, no matter how much I ..." [+] Reply

"This album is insanely DANGEROUS. This album rocks, shreds, riffs, and kicks ass. The playing is tight, professional, and awesome. Phil Lynott's voice is one of the best in rock, soft, hard, and dynamic at the same time!" 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

"To me, this is so clearly Slowdive's masterpiece. It's potent, and has a timelessness to it. If I had heard this, and someone had told me it came out today, I could totally believe that. There are albums from ten years ago that don't hold up as well as this breezy, haunting collection of songs." Reply

"I rate Kansas above the "usual suspects" of a top 10 prog. bands list i.e British bands like Floyd, Genesis, Jethro, Yes...I prefer their first album to most of the others, but this one would be in my second place alongside some of their other '70s albums. So most of this album is composed by Ker..." [+] Reply

"After hearing their first album (which was ok but mostly just felt like a compilation of pop singles), I was pleasantly surprised by this record... In many places, it uses 80s synthpop elements and re-invigorates them with the band's rougher, weirder edges to get a really addicting sound (Love Me..." [+] Reply

"I really love this album. I love how the cover art, the name from the number of tracks to the style, and just everything about the exterior coyly and sarcastically misdirects your expectation. And the music is quietly jarring, abrasive but not in a loud or overly aggressive way. It's just some of..." [+] Reply
