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..."

"This album seems to rest somewhere between Octavarium and Systematic Chaos. It's more mature than SC but not quite as soft and atmospheric as 8V; it still packs a punch. One thing that stands out on this album are the melodies, especially in songs like A Nightmare to Remember and The Best of Time..." [+] Reply
"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

"This album won the British Mercury Music Prize Album of the year, beating Radiohead's OK Computer and The Verve's Urban Hymns in the process! Definitely worth checking out if you appreciate electronic music like The Chemical Brothers or Prodigy" Reply

"This is one of my top 100 albums which you can check out together with additionele comments. Albums like this are not made anymore: the moment I bought "Troublegum" it grabbed me by the throat by its sheer energy and it has continued to do so since then. This album doesn't contain one lesser song..." [+] Reply

"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
