"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

"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

"Out coming from the typical sounds, this album takes to be the most electronic that Reznor ever made, he gives him time to create 16 different sounds (not the best creativity comparing each one) that every song dives to amaze people while listening, and he still singing sad, negative, creepy lyri..."  [+]  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
