"A phenomenal compilation on par with Hatful of Hollow and Substance 1987. If you want to distill the first half of The Cure's career into one collection of songs, this is about as good as it gets, both as a review of their first six albums and as a collection of perhaps their best non-album singl..."

"Some absolutely dynamite songs here. Sweet Transvestite and Time Warp are probably the best known, but Susan Sarandon's rendition of Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me is smoking hot and Meatloaf's Hot Patootie is superior to anything he did after. But what makes this a great all around album is probably T..." [+] Reply

"An Amazing album, one of my favorites of the 21st century. Sonic Youth continued to go into new territory they had been searching in their last few records, but this time they blended some more structure, but there's still an eerie edge that makes the record unique. My biggest criticism is that L..." [+] Reply

"Can't believe I'm just adding this into database. So underrated and an excellent post-hardcore album." Reply
"Abbas sixth album, "Voulez-Vous", from 1979 was recorded over a period of one year with the title track is actually recorded in Miami USA. Nevertheless, the album is one of the group's most consistent and most successful. Only a few songs fall into the category of "forgettable" and besides the bi..." [+] Reply

"CLOUDDEAD is a world of its own. The atmospheric dream-like beats flow into the album from the edges of space, slowly coming together into a loosely held congregation of the kind of hypnotic and emotionally evocative electronic twinklings and drones reminiscent of some of BoC's more spacious work..."

"More soulful than Ray Charles could be. The rock ‘n’ roll songs sound a bit too Little Richards-ish at times, but overall an album I can enjoy." Reply

"I've always thought that UFO was a very under-rated band. I saw them in 1977 on their Lights Out tour (Cheap Trick was opening act) and they were just great live. This is a great album; I think their best (not counting Strangers in the Night, which is like a greatest hits collection and my favori..." [+] Reply
