"Trust, tends to be overlooked and certainly underrated, it includes some of Costello's best songs of the eighties. Clubland, is one of his best opening tracks, and it's followed by the brilliant, lovers walk. The highlights on the record though are, the excellent, new lace sleeves, the duet with ..." [+] Reply

"Not as good as any of the Gorillaz releases, but I love it all the same. Herculean and the title track make the album." Reply

"I found this much more accessible than "Iowa" or their self titled album, which were barely listenable for me. I don't see myself returning to this album, but it was an interesting listen and by no means a waste of time. Overall, 70/100." Reply
"It may take a few listens, but I think most KOL fans should appreciate this album. This is an album without a weak link for me. Great summer afternoon BBQ album start to finish. Favorite tracks are Pyro, Back Down South, No Money, and Birthday." Reply

"1977... The reason why I joined this site .I was looking for Ash's best albums when I just found this site. But that's another story. So talking about the album, seems to be made to be enjoyed in adolescence, the songs fit the early years of these people, the album can be defined in various way..." [+] Reply

"Equal parts Madonna and Sleigh Bells, Ferreira's debut is packed with the kind of 80s influenced anthems that mall dreams are made. Kool." Reply

"Even if the classic song ratio is slightly lower than on the eponymous debut of 1978, "Van Halen II" (1979) is just as much fun - if not more - and to the band's credit, there's not a bad song on the album. The garage rock of "Van Halen" (1978) showcased surprising diversity - from a cappella, ba..." [+] Reply

I don't think I played it much as I don't remember too much about it, maybe the odd thing, bringing on the headache and the great instrumental track. It does sound decent now though, a good nwobhm record, I guess I woul..." [+] Reply

"The first two songs are the best by far here. 'Fear is a Man's Best Friend' is like a ship going down in the sea of misery and everyone just likes to sing along. Most artists thesedays who would have wrote a song with that title would have made it a plodding acoustic guitar whimper piece. Here it..." [+] Reply
