"Real Estate are the quintessential heartland rock band for the twentieth century, and I mean that mostly as praise. They play meticulously crafted, reverb-heavy jangle pop that makes for an ideal backdrop to a long drive across the plains, or a lazy Sunday lawnchair afternoon before a football ga..." [+] Reply

"What can I say? Beth Gibbens' voice is haunting, in the most musical way possible. It makes it only more romantic that she lives as a recluse and essentially sends tapes of herself singing to her compatriots. While the Portishead albums are excellent, I would claim this to more masterful and comp..." [+] Reply

"Updating Charlie Parker's innovative alto-style to the tenor, Gordon, aided by a brilliant piano quartet, uses dissonance to great effect. Under Gordon's direction, the tenor has rarely sounded so emphatically alive as it does on 'Go'. This was the album that introduced me to the greatness of the..." [+] 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

"Unfairly judged as Queen's worst album quite often, when in actuality, this is probably their best album since 1980s the Game. Full of wonderful tunes, and only a few corny sidetrackers. The Miracle, I Want it All, Scandal, Hang on in There and Was it all Worth it are all primo Queen songs, and t..." [+] Reply

"Probably A-ha’s best album although Hunting High and Low runs it close. As a follow up to that Album A-ha took a slightly different turn with style. A far heavier and more serious sound compared to their debut, but it worked really well. All songs are decent except Maybe Maybe with Manhattan Skyl..." [+] Reply

"the polar opposite of trout mask.. only 4 or 5 notes in the piece, could be construed as simplistic, but it has such a hypnotic effect.. and each time a new bit of instrumentation comes in.. ahhhh.... fuck, i'm getting weirder by the day." Reply

"For a long time I thought that no album or collection can come near OK computer. Then came Misery is a butterfly and proved me as being wrong. The greatest creations usually don’t require additional supportive comparison to shine. The album is tribute to beauty and every moment in it is a masterp..." [+] Reply
