"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

"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

"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

"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

"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..."

"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

"A Neil Young album that's actually underrated! The title track is for Cobain, and the rest is Crazy Horse loud, distorted and sounding great." Reply
