"Amazing, one of the best soundtracks of one of the best video games of all time... Amazingly Drowny, Evolvingly intense atmosphere, great interludes from mixed genres (Like Trip Hop ( "Heaven's Night"), Alternative Rock ("Promise") styles)... always mixing with the intense dark plot of the video ..."

"This album is bookended by two incredible songs: the band words overtime to deliver a bold instrumental opening in the first song, and Haslam's vocals in the last song are divine. Sandwiched between the two are some decent folk/symphonic tunes, including the shoulda-been-a-hit Carpet of the Sun." Reply
"Turnstiles is one of Billy's greatest albums, with several classic tracks, however, it also has without a doubt the worst song he ever wrote, the mindless, unimpressive sequence of sounds known as "All You Want to do is Dance". Get the album, skip that track. Other than that though, this is a gre..." [+] 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

"An absolutely bonkers metal album. The German group Helloween give us an extremely enjoyable record with spectacularly over the top performances. Obviously, heavily influenced by Queen and Iron Maiden, seven keys, is a lot of fun. A tale that wasn't right, future world, and the epic, Halloween, a..." [+] Reply

"Most people who liked/loved the Beatles and beyond probably lost interest in Paul McCartney somewhere between London Town and McCartney II. This is the album that should bring them back. It was made after McCartney had been working on the Beatles Anthology project and after listening to all those..." [+] Reply

"'Grace Under Pressure' moved the band out of the progressive arena and into a much more synth based eighties sound which absolutely worked for Rush. A number of excellent synth based albums followed and I sometimes forget how good this one is. 'Manhattan Project' and 'Mystic Rhythms' are personal..." [+] Reply

"One of the great disco albums ever. Donna summer plays the 'tart with a heart' on this hugely influential LP. Working again with Giorgio Moroder, this is a brilliant concept album featuring superb tracks such as, hot stuff, sunset people, and the title track. There's a couple of ballads but most ..."
