"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 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..."

"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

"I feel like Joni Mitchell is a genius. Like, I recognize that now. Its like she envisions or, more accurately, hears music with more clarity than almost any human in pop music history. From the jump, with this solo debut of hers, its clear she is a legitimate A+ guitarist, a freakishly pristine a..." [+] Reply

"We all know they have their formula, but it's a fun one. Their recent albums haven't really had much staying power, but it's tough not to appreciate the immediacy of them. Case in point is the song "Congregation", full of hooks that you only have to hear once to be humming all day. So while it pr..." [+] Reply

"What a great surprise! I didn’t have big expectations, since I wasn’t that into their first two albums. But this one, I fell in love with. The balance between the three singers, in both melodies and lyrics, is spot on. They complement each other beautifully. The arrangements are full of surprises..." [+] 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

"Amazing album! First 3 tracks were fantastic and definitely the strongest part of the album! The Islander was a nice addition to the album too and was one I really enjoyed!" Reply

"A somewhat underrated gem. The first 3 songs are great Eye No Alphabet Street and Glam Slam. Alphabet Street is one of my favorites. Anna Stesia and Dance On keeps things moving before the ballad When 2 are in love which is lovely along with I Wish U Heaven and Positivity." Reply
