"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

"I'm in the middle of thinking that this is a work of genius and that it's self-indulgent. Aesop Rock is definitely one of the greatest artists in hip-hop, but this is way too long "Daylight" is a classic though, fantastic song." Reply

"Sadly it and "Avocado" fall into the "generic version of themselves" category that most artists end up doing during their career. Riot Act and Binaural are leagues better." Reply

"Hammer Horror... I have no idea what she is saying in the song but I am enchanted nonetheless. And that chorus... her voice is wonderful, spooky and otherworldly all at once. The strings are delightful and I think there might be a guitar too, like a really tiny one maybe. Anywhos... that song is ..." [+] Reply

"The mid-nineties were great years for albums that brought together punk's two-minute punchiness with the earnest relationship laments that would soon become the genre we now know as emo. Unlike Sebadoh's scattershot early albums, Bakesale is one of the era's best at bridging these two strains of ..." [+] 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

"The songwriting of Difford and Tillbrook was at an apex when they made this album. A comment on this album said that "Labled with Love" was "oviously" the most famous track on it, I have personally never heard it except on this album. Maybe it was big in the UK or Australia. "Tempted" was the clo..." [+] Reply
