"Fantastic album, tied with Absolution behind Origin of Symmetry for Muse's best album. A love the feel to this album and absolutely adore some of the songs like "Knights of Cydonia" and "Map of the Problematique". This album sure deserves a listen from anyone who likes alt rock." Reply

"The courage to put out an album like Twin Fantasy is in itself moving. It always sat as a personal favourite of mine, but one that I never put on a list because a) I couldn't bring myself to, and b) I'd convinced myself it wasn't good enough, as if the despair of listening to it was the only valu..."

"Room on Fire is This is It version 2.0 That is what ultimately hurts the legacy of their sophomore effort. Reptilia is better than anything on Is This It? But the whole album is safe and by the end of it the thinking is basically, "This is great too, but I have heard it before" and "Okay, but can..." [+] Reply

"This is probably Gorillaz most expansive album. A lot of the songs, while having some of the nice nods back to their last entry in their discography; Demon Days, it feels more electronic and commercial in comparison. But that's not to say that it's a bad thing, the songs are actually quite catchy..." [+] Reply

"Re-listened to this album post-hype. Initially, I thought it was pretty mediocre, but listening to it again years later, I really enjoy it. It's a bit shallow, and I get the "pretentious" rub people take away from it, but I think they're just trying to have fun. I'm convinced music this beautiful..." [+] Reply
