"The plethora of music from hundreds of different countries outside the western-world tends to get clumped into a single "World" genre which is incredibly trivialising and in all honesty really, really stupid. These records tend to be incredibly underrated in the western-world, especially in compa..."  [+]  Reply

"Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music is an album I expect most -if not all- users will be pretty familiar with. Despite that, I've always found it difficult to talk about it. I've been in a handful of debates about it the last years and it always comes to the same conclusion: I don't like it to the same de..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a classic album still worth a listen. Cold Etyhl is a Cooper classic. The WTMN tour set the standard for most rock theatrical shows that followed. All hard rock fans need this classic in their collection."  Reply

"82-87 isn't 5 years, it's 6 years, count them. 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87. so it's 8 records full of "noisy trash-songs" in SIX years! it's interesting though how the lowest rating comes from a guy who comments like that, you know this must be good stuff! I don't know what the "unhelpful" votes were ..."  [+]  Reply

"I had quite a bit of trepidation going into FTPoF. The singles were a bit mixed for me, and even my favorite of the bunch ("Your Mind Is Not Your Friend") probably wouldn't crack my top 15 or 20 National songs. Not to mentoin the early reception for this one has been somewhat tepid. So, I'm happy..."  [+]  Reply

"461 Ocean Boulevard, has got to be the best Eric Clapton solo LP. It's a lovely laid back album, obviously heavily influenced by J.J. Cale, it features blues, reggae, and rock sounds amongst others. The traditional opener, motherless children, is probably the most rock based track, and that's fol..."  [+]  Reply

"Honestly this is where Pantera loses me just a little. The vocals take a turn that is too guttural for me. Almost screaming. I just prefer his angry, yet clear vocals."  Reply

"Well, this was certainly a strange album. 'Given Up' comes on and I'm expecting this album to be terrible. The guy is screaming and swearing without no real reason. The next song does a complete U turn and is rather pleasant. Next you have Bleed It Out, which isn't as bad as 'Given Up', even a li..."  [+]  Reply
