"I won't necessarily put this or Jagged Little Pill above one another. I like them both for different reasons. But, with this being said, I really do think that they are two different beasts. While Jagged Little Pill was a really great album that especially emphasized and brought to life the teena..."  [+]  Reply

"It's an Australian golden gem full of memories and mystery. It says so much about Australia particularly Western Australia were David McComb grew up . its very much in the same class as a Tim Winton novel It's a masterpiece"  Reply

"This record is phenomenal start to finish. Easily my favorite primus album. I saw these guys at mammoth events in Denver. Mr. Krinkle from pork soda played on the standup base was so thick you could swim in it..."  Reply

"Before giving this album a proper whirl, I was of a similar opinion to several reviewers here - other than the title track and Vincent, a little insipid. But when I gave it a proper chance, I came to realise that it's actually a brilliant listen. I found myself thinking it was tailing off a littl..."  [+]  Reply

"Having conquered synth pop with their two previous LPs, the duo decided dance music was next in their sites. Introspective is House music the whole family can dance along to. Their classic pop brilliance is still there, but it's lengthened out and doused in a healthy dose of acid-influenced synth..."  [+]  Reply

"The interesting thing with this album is that there's nothing that's specifically unique or different than other albums from this genre. Nothing that really sets it apart in some original way. Yet it's so fucking brilliant. The melody, vocals, song structure of every song on this makes it one of ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of Spinneta's finest works. Solid on both instrumentation and lyrics, I guess non-spanish speakers won't appreciate this as much as it should, but it's certainly a classic album in Argentina. The last three tracks are glorious..."  Reply

"I disagree that this is not a consistent album. In fact, it’s one of their most consistent. Everything is high quality, except for the cheesy “Down Home Town.” “Strange Magic,” “Evil Woman” and “Fire on High” are among the best things ELO ever did, and some of the catchiest, most innovative recor..."  [+]  Reply
