"Fantastic partnership in re-imagining the work of Woody Guthrie. Wilco offsets the folksy dead-pan approach of Billy Bragg well in alternating tracks. Sometimes it comes close to hitting the mark, and others they hit a home run. Highlights - California Stars, Ingrid Bergman, Christ for President,..." [+] Reply

"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

"Weller's best work is a musical masterpiece. This should certainly be considered one of the greatest rock albums of all time, but sadly it is generally both unknown and vastly underrated. While it did go platinum in the UK, it is unheard of in the US. The opener, Sunflower, draws you in for sure...." [+] Reply

"A heartfelt, passionate album. The songs here each carry serious emotional weight propelled by solid musicianship. There's at least a little something on this record that anyone can relate to" Reply

"I'm kinda obsessed. This is so good. Disarmingly honest lyrics about romantic relationships, queer awakenings and becoming your true self. On top of that, amazing hooks and her voice is excellent. Add to that some polished production, and you've got a really winning pop album" 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..."

"Équinoxe (English: "equinox") was the second major-label album release by French musician Jean Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus (with license to Polydor) in late 1978. The album reflects a day in the life of a human being, from morning to night. Parts 1 to 4 (i.e. side A) and tracks 5 to..." [+] Reply
