"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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..."

"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

""Sadly, the rest of the album doesn't hold up to that standard... Killing is another good song on here though." You contradicted yourself in the space of one sentence! Anyway on the album: One of the first of the great 00's Dance-punk revival, Rapture proved that screaming while shaking yo ass wa..." [+] Reply

"Criminally underrated. This is what pop albums should sound like and this is what smart producers should be doing with sampling. They make good videos too. Check out Junior Kickstart where they somehow manage to turn NYC into the world's largest Ms. Pac Man maze. Outstanding." Reply

"This is the ablum that started industrial rock (and from which Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age and Soundgarden got their badass sound). That's a pretty monumental achievement. It's rough and brusque, relentlessly so. One of the most underrated works on this site." Reply
