"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..."

"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 is ranked below Avenged Sevenfold? That's stupid." Reply
"I've always thought that UFO was a very under-rated band. I saw them in 1977 on their Lights Out tour (Cheap Trick was opening act) and they were just great live. This is a great album; I think their best (not counting Strangers in the Night, which is like a greatest hits collection and my favori..." [+] Reply
"This album is unbelievable, it has a mix of Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Royal Blood, I didn't expect something of this quality." 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

"Disturbingly beautiful album. This gave me chills the first time I listened to it. A worthy follow up to The Drift, if not better. His lyrics make zero sense, but I think they're full of really haunting and bizarrely beautiful imagery. And the music.... wow, just wow. The track "Corps De Blah" is..." [+] Reply
