"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

"Considered one of the best Christmas albums of all time. A great representation of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound." Reply

"This record struggles with its brilliance, a more brilliant record I'm not sure there is, I never tire of it, I know all the words, my friends know all the words. Like some people know all the bits to The Sound Of Music, we know all the bits to Absolutely Free." Reply

"A sleazy electro pop album. The record cover says it all with Marc Almond suspiciously half hiding something obviously very naughty. As for the music, tainted love, is one of the great singles of the eighties, and, bedsitter, a good follow up. The closing track, say hello, wave goodbye, is beauti..." [+] Reply

"I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think this is The Who's best album next to Quadrophenia. Highly underrated. Other commenters are correct - it does feel like a Townshend solo album, but Roger's vocals make it much more than just that." Reply

"I prefer the October 1979 re-release (with "Teenage Kicks" and "Get Over You") to the initial 14-track LP, released in May 1979." Reply

"This is a non-stop, if I listen to a track of it I listen them all. Each one is so well crafted, the productions are flawless, her vocals are beautiful, the dance euphoria of the first 3 are insane and Music has my favourites Madonna's compositions. I love how she moves throught such diferent sty..." [+] Reply

"I've been listening to Polly's albums for the last couple of weeks. Most of the albums go into similar "ballpark" to me, I like all of them, but apart from certain songs, I'm not exactly head over heels for them. Most of them aren't musically that interesting or diverse. And I feel a lot of what ..." [+] Reply

"Crazy stuff, very reminiscent of Daughter's "You Won't Get What You Want," but in a hip hop version. Ominous atmosphere, with plenty of runtime comprised of suspenseful rapping over minimalist or noisy (even all-out screechy at times) background beats. My opinion is that this form of music is not..." [+] Reply
