"A psychedelic album which is full energy! Superb musicianship from the off, keys and lead guitar continually interchanging. The drums and bass carve out the tight grooves throughout the album. Love the organ lead on the title track and the lead guitar is soooo psychedelic!" Reply

"The greatest pop album of all time, kicked off with the greatest pop song of all time, the sublime "Being Boring". "The Must be the Place" and "My October Symphony" are the other two all time classics, but every track is a winner on this autumnal masterpiece, except perhaps "How Can You Expect" w..." [+] Reply

"Synthesizing poetic free-form lyrics and emotionally intense vocals, Patti Smith reinvented the unstable relationship that exists between life and art in the spirit of Janis Joplin. Her engaging and unique personality is probably best evoked in the quasi-religious elegy, 'Pissing In The River', u..." [+] Reply

"This album is one of the coolest I've ever heard. Queens has always been one of my top go-to bands for feeling badass, and this album doesn't disappoint. The entire thing has an aura of "coolness" about it. I keep going back to it for that reason, and it scratches that rock itch more than a lot o..." [+] Reply

"Possibly one of the most under-rated LPs of the last 10 years. Just as Broadcast found their sound - halfway between the Young Marble Giants and Nico - poor Trish died of pnemonia... a terrible, terrible loss. Tender Buttons will serve as their epitaph, but what a fitting, beautiful and mesmerisi..." [+] Reply

"It really is a work of art for such a pretentious genre. New Age usually is nothing but overly artsy bullshit, but this album is wonderful in all the right ways. A favorite for me." Reply

"System of a Down is my favorite band. This album, their last before hiatus, is the 2nd part to the Hypnotize/Mezmerize 2-CD set. A little faster-paced than Mezmerize, it has some amazing tracks, and the more you listen to it, the deeper it becomes." Reply

"This really is a lovely album, short and sweet. That certainly is the charm of the album, but it's also frustrating because of it. Opener, meant for you, is beautiful, but it fades out before it even reaches the 40 second mark, it's just a waste of a lovely melody. Other tracks aren't quite so sh..." [+] Reply
