"Having only listened to “Flower Boy” from Tyler, I like “Igor” much much more. The atmosphere the album builds throughout its songs is very pleasing, and that's exactly what I loved about his past record. It's not 'agressive rap', which many times I don't quite like. It's more 'jazzy'; like somet..." [+] Reply

"Certainly one of the best albums ever made, as others have said every song is good, and there are some funny stories as well as heart felt reflections in there. A good selection of instruments as well. Its the sort of album you can listen to multiple times over and over." Reply

"This is a fantastic record that is extremely unique and different to anything else I have heard. The lyrics are brilliant and are delivered with such power and emotion that you start to feel connected to the artist. Musically, it is stunning as well with the guitar sounding thick and it completel..." [+] Reply

"An odd case for me, this great band. I'm probably in the minority, but to me, their albums have gotten better and better, so by definition this is their least strong album for me. It's a scary thought. Personally, I think if they keep up their craft and dedication, they can be our generation's Be..." [+] Reply

"Fun fact: The story behind the album title is that the first side starts in the key of F#, and the second side stars in the key of A#, with the infinite loop at the end... F♯A♯∞!" Reply

"Beastie Boys are one of my favorite band (All genre confused). Despite being a commercial failure at the time, "Paul's Boutique" is the best album of the Beasties. Absolute masterpiece, production model, deluge of samples, the album is an indisputable reference to rock culture composed of archive..." [+] Reply

"I'm not really a fan of Deep Purple, but this is undeniably one of the greatest hard rock records ever. That opening riff on Smoke on the Water is one of the most instantly memorable riffs of all time and Highway Star is the ultimate fast car/hot chicks anthem. Throw in a beauty like Space Trucki..."

"The music is only part of the package. "Theoretically it is as if Joe Morello's three beats had ceased to be the basic pulse, and had become triplets in a slow 4-beat blues -- though with Eugene Wright's 1-in-a-bar bass as the constant link between piano and drums. The listener who keeps abreast ..." [+] Reply
