"Defining album (Along with Rumours) of its time. Hard to explain to those who weren't around, but this was one of those "must have" records. Still dig it - especially the last track." Reply

""Manning Fireworks" has vivid vignette storytelling in the lyrics. Each song gives a little peak to a character at a specific moment in time. The line "I wouldn't be in the seminary if I could be with you" on "Rudolph" says so much in one sentence. "Manning Fireworks" paints a wonderful picture o..." [+] Reply

"This comment will now outdate my comments about Heaven and Hell and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath whereby I stated that they were my top Sabbath albums. Without a doubt, this for me is top of the tree. The vocal delivery by RJD coupled with the overall musicianship which includes the best guitar work an..." [+] Reply

"This was the start of an incredible 4 album streak that would close Death's career due to Chuck unfortunately passing away. Human is a more technical and progressive release compared to their earlier work as displayed on the instrumental Cosmic Sea. One of the finest death metal albums ever. Pumm..." [+] Reply

"The Foos becoming their own band, for better or worse. First 5 songs are great, but the whole album could be about 10 minutes shorter if they trimmed the fat on each track a bit. The production here just feels right, but the songs go on and on." Reply

"This was the album that got me into music. I found an old scrathed cd of it in the garage one day. For some reason I decided to put it in a cd player even though I was never really in to listening to music... Then the whole album electrified me. Megadeth really nailed this one. They took a more c..." [+] Reply

"After the 'sessions' album and tour Bruce Springsteen re-united the E street band for the 2007 record, magic. As on the rising, Springsteen was always better when he had something to write about. 9/11 was the rising, magic, was the aftermath of that terrible tragedy, most notably, George W Bush, ..."

"Seems like a good starting point for Zappa. Really exceptional instrumentation, especially with the guitar and bass, and a healthy dose of the weird stuff that he was known for, but not so much that it's overbearing for a first-time listener. Great album." Reply

"One of those unforgettable records from the mid 80's. Great tracks include What's Love and Better Be Good to Me. Turner's career restarted with a vengeance thanks to this one and it was fun watching that." Reply

"One of the most underrated albums of the last ten years. Heavenly blissful while painfully fragile at the same time. A very unique record." Reply
