"God, "Pull Out The Pin" has to be one of the best war songs I've ever listened to. The desperate "I LOVE LIFE" battle-cry to the backdrop of helicopter sounds sends chills down my spine." Reply

"Fantastic album, tied with Absolution behind Origin of Symmetry for Muse's best album. A love the feel to this album and absolutely adore some of the songs like "Knights of Cydonia" and "Map of the Problematique". This album sure deserves a listen from anyone who likes alt rock." Reply

"The only Smiths album I find uneven. The U.S. version includes "How Soon Is Now", the quality of which dwarfs everything else and makes some songs sound particuarly mediocre. "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" is the only other highlight for me. "Barbarism Begins At Home" is quality but takes too lo..." [+] Reply

"Many people seem to forget about this album. At the first listen, this album seems tediously long and overdone, with five instrumentals (counting Fish) and long songs with seemingly random transitions and bridges. However, after many listens, this album slowly turns into an instantly recognizable..." [+] Reply

"Re-listened to this album post-hype. Initially, I thought it was pretty mediocre, but listening to it again years later, I really enjoy it. It's a bit shallow, and I get the "pretentious" rub people take away from it, but I think they're just trying to have fun. I'm convinced music this beautiful..." [+] Reply

"This is the only music I've listened to all day today. I've listened to it six times in about nine/ten hours: FIRST LISTEN holy shit this is bad. i want to like it but it's shit. SECOND LISTEN i guess it's cool that they practiced this like essentially hundreds of times to get it down perfect. it..." [+] Reply

"For years, I thought the cover was a bale of hay jumping over a hurdle, an image I thought perfectly captured the dada-ist vibe of the music and lyrics. When I read on wikipedia that it is actually a dog (a Komondor) and Beck was uncertain of the cover right through pressing, it made me wonder. B..." [+] Reply

"This is probably Gorillaz most expansive album. A lot of the songs, while having some of the nice nods back to their last entry in their discography; Demon Days, it feels more electronic and commercial in comparison. But that's not to say that it's a bad thing, the songs are actually quite catchy..." [+] Reply

"This is a huge album in the genre and it is easy to see why when you listen to it as there is so much to love on here. This is probably the groups most consistent work with every song having some quality on it. The peak of the album is the sensational title track and also the closer Hallowed Be T..." [+] Reply

"Disraeli Gears is Creams most solid album. The first four songs are excellent - two classics and two deep cuts. Second side starts strong with Tales of Brave Ulysses - one of the masterpieces, followed by SWABLR (She Walks Like a Bearded Rainbow) and the classic blues standard Outside Woman Blues..." [+] Reply
