"A terrifying experience. This album holds you in place and shakes you. Giles Corey is the solo project of Dan Barrett(Have A Nice Life) and while the two are different in their own ways, they both top off high on my chart. Dan Barrett uses the pseudonym of Giles Corey to perform, and it fits. He ..." [+] Reply

"Ghostface's third best album. Which still means it's better than your favourite artist's best album (OK, slight exagerration). This shit is raw, real, tight, dope, fresh, funky fly, poisonous darts, you get the picture. Buy it." Reply

"Great album that is a huge leap forward from their Australian debut. This album established the signature AC/DC sound and contains some of their best known songs. They wisely took most of this album, swapped a couple of the weaker tracks with the best songs off the Australian debut, and released ..." [+] Reply

"Pretty much all sampled beats. Joey picked all the right samples for a perfect 90s mixtape vibe but he didn’t have a vision of his own to make his own music until Summer Knights. This project is good and I like it a lot but I don’t respect the artistry as much because it wasn't Joeys own artistry..." [+] Reply

"If you were a college student in 1974, and were at a Friday night party where everyone was smoking pot, the two albums playing on the stereo were "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Bridge of Sighs"." Reply

"A small, beautiful gem. Musgraves is an especially gifted songwriter and intelligent observer, and her view of the American Heartland has a mixture of warmth and cynicism, and one that ultimately is optimistic if well-aware of her familiar surronding's many struggles (sometimes self-inflicted) an..."

"The Doobies would probably not be anybody's list of important or influential artists but this is my favourite album at present. I was drawn to it by the hit singles China Grove & Long train Running but soon found there was so much more. South City Midnight Lady is Patrick Simmons' greatest song a..." [+] Reply

"I heard only recently "Casanova" in its whole, after having heard and read that the album is often considered the best from Divine Comedy. I was very excited about the recent Divine Comedy albums such as "Bang Goes the Knighthood," "Victory for the Comic Muse" and also "The Duckworth Lewis Projec..." [+] Reply
