"Good glam rock/electroclash/nu-disco album. Best 10 songs average is 85,8/100 and the album can get good 85/100.

"Starts off very strong but is far too experimental for it's own good. The good is absolutely brilliant and as haunting as an abandoned mansion, but there's too many loose and unnecessary arrangements that stops this album from reaching it's full potential. " A flat out masterpiece"." Reply

"This is definitely not a B-sides album. Yes, the songs were recorded at the same time as Wall of Eyes but they collated 2 albums of very different aesthetics - the various songs chosen to best suit the feeling they were looking for. This album is a meandering jam that incorporates all the playful..." [+] Reply

"App, what happened with me is that I started out loving it and it slowly started to irritate me the more I listened. So it might go the opposite direction with you :)" Reply

"Really can't believe how underrated this album is. "Blue" was my intro to Joni, I just melted. But I grew out of it, it was just too sad. I wanted redemption. This is what Mitchell gives us in "For The Roses". It's a masterpiece depicting the light at the end of the tunnel. Banquet is phenomenal,..." [+] Reply

"This was Prince's first full album with the New Power Generation. It's a very good album that sounds totally fresh. My friends sometimes ask how I can have a billion albums by Prince and David Bowie and the like, I guess they think it must all sound the same because they're solo artists and they ..." [+] Reply

"One of the essential guitar records of all time, packed to the brim with hard rock, blues, and prog in germinal form. It's crazy to me how underrated and forgotten Wishbone Ash has become when you can put an album like this on and enjoy every second of it. Let's get these guys some more recogniti..." [+] Reply
"This guy knows how to put an indie folk rock song together with many witty twists of phrase. Opener "fiery crash", one of the highlights on the album, is aptly apocryphal, stating "G force is twisting the faith with superstition / A fatal premonition / You know you've got to envision / The fiery ..."

"Following a relatively fallow creative period for the Captain, the master returned to form with the album 'Shiny Beast'. In my opinion, as great a record as this record is, his follow-up, 'Doc At The Radar Station', is even better. This album is a kind of distillation of 'Trout Mask' for the post..." [+] Reply

"The best Moby album, under - rated and a brilliant follow up to Play. "One of these Mornings" is simply stunning. This album will grow and grow on you. It may not bite you like Play did but each song will reach out and touch you with every listen. After all these years, this still comes out to play" Reply
