"This album isn't easy to rate. Despite being a big Chuck Berry fan, I'm left a bit disappointed with this record. Nearly half the album are instrumentals, and none of them are all that interesting. There are still good tracks to be found here especially on the re-issue version that I own and am r..."  [+]  Reply

"You can hear it on "If Looks Could Kill". This band not only evokes Belle and Sebastian but shows potential to surpass them. Yes, it's a lazy comparison but it's so obvious it's undeniable. "Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken" pays its own homage as a beautiful way to start off their brand of swe..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the first Parsons Album I listened to. The Intro Song (Sirius/Eye in the Sky) is Just hypnotic. Other Key Tracks are 'Silence and I' and 'Wise and old'. The only problem I have with this album is, that it has too much pop. (Children of the Moon, Fingers Burned, psychobabble, Step by step..."  [+]  Reply

"This is certainly a better "album" for Coldplay, inasmuch as it works a relatively cohesive collection of songs that are meant to work with each other. Granted, this is not perfect by any stretch. Chris Martin is still one of the least impressive lyricists, but even the stripped back instrumental..."  [+]  Reply

"Billie Balearic Beat Yeah 've had varying responses to the Billie phenomenon, her first album was one of the first times listening to it I just felt old- what seemed to be heralded as this brilliant bit of noir pop I just saw a lot of teenage I-cracked-the-code posturing and the fact that the sou..."  [+]  Reply

"Creedence started out good and with each successive record (until Pendulum) they got a little bit better. This, thus, is one of their least good. Being this good at their worst is quite the feat."  Reply

"This record together with Soundgardens "Down on the upside" was symptoms of an era that was about to end. The newer era, Britpop, was already rising, and people were about to have enough of the harsh and dark metal sound, and prefered another more quiet and soft sound (Radiohead), when it came to..."  [+]  Reply
