"Tailored, safe-yet-exciting post-punk. A solid debut album that captures themes of youth in a positive outlook on a downtrodden world. Some stellar guitar work on this record, particularly on Concrete, Friction and Angie. It's hardly the most innovative debut ever, but there's a reason I've been ..."  [+]  Reply

"Right as everyone wrote them off as dead after Ricky Wilson's death and the subsequent failure of the underrated "Bouncing Off The Satellites", they came back bigger than ever. I am partial to the earlier records and admit that "Love Shack" isn't one of my fave B-52's songs but as a whole a very ..."  [+]  Reply

"Holy shit! I think this might be the best Outkast record. And of course it has to be there debut. Now I do love the hell out of Atliens as well as Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. But this is something else. Putting ATL on the map as well as feeling like a movie where the outsiders ventured in Atlanta."  Reply

"Certainly one of Morrissey's best solo efforts, it sounded a little like a Smiths album in 1992 and continues to do so. It's always a good sign, when the poorest effort here (Fatty) never fails to raise a smile."  Reply

"This is one of those albums where upon listening, it’s obvious how many similar bands were formed in its wake. They perfected the heavy, shoegaze-y sound here. Chino Moreno is a big fan and with good reason. Just a really solid album."  Reply

"Stunningly crisp psychedelic rock out of San Fran. Some of the cleanest instrumentals that you can find from the era appear on this album. Very nice-sounding and well-recorded on the whole. The vocals, while passionate, lack some of the coolness that I enjoy about the instruments. One of the best..."  [+]  Reply

"It sucks being sick. People treat you different. Even doctors. Even your family. Brandon Cox aka Deerhunter knows this frustration. He knows the despair. Of being alienated, ostracized. But he’s done something extraordinary with this anger and frustration. He’s channeled it into a rallying cry. H..."  [+]  Reply

"I have no idea why this album's not more highly regarded; it's an amazing debut, and my second favorite Queen record (behind Sheer Heart Attack). Really not a bad song here, and "My Fairy King," "Jesus," "Doing All Right," "Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll," and "Son & Daughter" are innovative, superio..."  [+]  Reply
