"The more we progress into the 21st Century the more it becomes apparent that male dominated rock has nothing new to say. Indeed, it is only right that an all female band like Savages should symbolise punk rock RIGHT NOW, as theirs is the true voice of rage and discontent in a system that is STILL..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most captivating and gorgeous ambient records out there. I remember being somewhat bored once Pop 4 came along. But now this is one of the best records of the 2000's. Probably Top 10 material in my book. Wonder how I would have felt of this record in the year 2000. Probably wouldn't ha..."  [+]  Reply

"Spoon's always funky. You wouldn't know it by the lead single "the beast and dragon, adored" from "gimme fiction", their most complex song to-date. Spoon's into the funky, catchy, short single format -- leave 'em wanting more routine. While "beast" is a good song, it's not as representative of th..."  [+]  Reply

"OK so he cheated by adding two old songs and 'updating' them to the sound of 1987, but even without those two songs, it is still a great album. And the video of Still Of The Night. I admit that 1987 was not a 'timeless' year and this album like Pyromania and Appetite For Destruction just don't se..."  [+]  Reply

"The Isley Brothers have had hits in every decade since the 1950's, and have scored 20 top 10 albums. 3+3, which finds the band as a sextet, opens with "That Lady"...worth having the album for alone. It's funky, and Ernie Isley tears it up on guitar. The album is also notable for its choice in cov..."  [+]  Reply

"I much prefer this album to 'Pictures at an Exibition'. It is a more melodic and cohesive affair. I particularly like 'Battlefield' which give 'Yes' and 'Genesis' a run for their money. I am not so keen on the way Keith Emerson chose to play his Moog, for example 'Aquatarkus' is a very 'plinky pl..."  [+]  Reply

"This is where Nightwish began taking it into the stratosphere. Their first 4 albums were good, but this album is truly excellent. Tarja's outstanding vocals were far more balanced between rock and opera on this album - a balance that the band would continue striking after firing her. Wish I Had a..."  [+]  Reply
