"Didn't pay that much attention to the lyrics (the first time I listened to it), but the production is great... I much prefer this kind of hip hop (indie, as Hayden calls it; Madvillain also fall into this category) than the pop rap of Drake, Kanye, Jay-Z, ..." Reply

"Can't Feel My Face is one of the catchiest tunes of the year. The rest of the album is decent but the subject matter of the songs gets repetitive real quick" Reply

"Wonderful performances, but somehow it was a fleeting thing and I didn't feel it had staying power with me, probably didn't connect as well because I don't speak French... then again, I connect just fine with Sigor Ros." Reply

"An impressive collection of beats. I confess that I don't understand dance music or club culture whatsoever, but as Leftism managed to make it accessible and enjoyable to even a simpleton such as myself, that's got to be worth something!" Reply

"Going back and listening to this now it seems strange to think this is the same band that conquered the world with Sex on Fire. It's ramshackle homespun southern country rock but it's their ability to fill the songs with so many little hooks that elevates this. Talihina Sky may well be my favouri..." [+] Reply

"Apparently Mike Pinder used to work for the Company who made the Mellotron. His work with the Company obviously contributed to his expertise in using the instrument to its full potential. This is a beautiful album, positively brimming with Mellotron for all you prog affectionados who know what a ..." [+] Reply

"Styx was the "gateway drug" that got me into classic rock. Sure, they were poppy and heck, and, in retrospect, not that good; But that's what got me to latch onto the genre. I've always considered this to be their best album, and after all these years, "Miss America" is still a masterpiece." Reply

"I can't rank Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa separately, because that's not how I know them. I find that it doesn't sound like two separate works; there is a congruency between both, it's almost seamless. While most will speak of Where is My Mind (it is epic, after all), my favorite track is Cari..." [+] Reply

"The first two tracks, "irresponsible hate anthem" and "beautiful people", along with the title track, NAIL his sound -- sin, god & rock'n'roll. He does what alice cooper did before him but perverts the idea a little more. All tracks feel grimy and filthy, a sound made possible by the grinding gui..." [+] Reply
