"Great album. Very under rated. All MK II albums are all on very level par (as in all fucking great) and this is up there with them. That is what defines Deep Purple as one of the all time greatest rock acts to emerge, the amount of legendary albums to come out in a short time span. MK II that is,..."  [+]  Reply

"Best Anthrax album. A thrash metal masterpiece. That's right. I said it. Anthrax made a masterpiece. Joey is probably the best vocalist in all of thrash metal. I don't say that lightly either. Some of the best metal riffs I've ever heard. Indians is probably in my top 5 thrash songs ever."  Reply

"They do the rootsy/bluesy rock thing well. Sadly, it's been done before. I don't see how these guys are massively different from Blues Traveler in the 90s or the original artists (Big Brother and Holding Company comes to mind) from 60s and 70s."  Reply

"Laura Nyro was one of those rare and singular talents that comes along once in a lifetime, if you're lucky. In her original music, the disparate sounds of Soul, Jazz, Folk-Rock, Doo-Wop, Broadway, and Brill Building Pop coalesced into something that was magically hers alone. Her wild and untraine..."  [+]  Reply

"an interesting transition period between Aphex Twin's early laidback ambient techno and the harsher IDM present later on in his career. could very well be his greatest work for people looking to balance the best of both worlds, but similarly to Autechre's "Chiastic Slide", I find his work directl..."  [+]  Reply

Then I realized it's because I've been listening to bootleg version of this album all along! *MIND BLOWN* Extraordinary Machine has two versions - the bootleg Jon Brion version and the official Mik..."  [+]  Reply

"A lot of confusion over this album. From interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason, Division Bell was supposed to be a double album. The disc that got realeased and then a second disc of abstract instrumentals. Sort of in the vain of Ummagumma. Anyway, they ran out of time to finish as the alb..."  [+]  Reply
