"This is a really, really solid debut album from an established Nashville songwriter. The issue is, I think I want to like it more than I actually do. This album is a step in the right direction in terms of steering the "main stream country music" ship back around. It contains powerful vocals, tra..." [+] Reply

"One of Sinatra's finest recordings. Songs for young lovers, sees the beginning of his working relationship with Nelson Riddle, and it's a brilliantly enjoyable record with plenty of highlights. They can't take that away from me, someone to watch over me(on the extended twelve track version), a fo..." [+] Reply

"Very good indie rock album. Best 10 songs average is 92,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. I like this sound and the album is rich in variety. Notable are the well-fitting electronic instruments and samples here and there. Best songs are the first three: "Everyday I love...", "I predic..." [+] Reply

"Bob Geldof once famously quoted: “In the UK you had The Pistols, in America you had The Ramones and from Australia there was The Saints”. Seems outrageous that The Saints from the back blocks of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia should be mentioned in the same breath as two punk icons, but on this ..." [+] Reply

"Honestly? It's good. Musically one might call it a fantastic pop record, and they would not be wrong. The politics of the lyrics are of course hard to swallow at times. It's one of those albums that I can't quite tell whether it is brashly feminist and sex-positive, or just shallow, consumerist, ..." [+] Reply

"I listened to this and I faded out. I don't really know what happened, can't recall any thoughts. I woke up later, but was still trapped in this thing. I couldn't get out, and it hit me that the idea of a Nick Drake album seemed danceable at that moment. I could feel my skin turning pale and my m..." [+] Reply

"An emotional album. Definitely Grohl’s most ambitious album lyrically. Unfortunately, musically it is very bland and uninteresting. Not much to grab on to melodically. Still has some powerful moments attached to grief and loss." Reply

"An explosion of hard-edged guitar funk. A pleasure to listen to "Mama Said" has an exceptional sound. Kravitz's songs are tuneful, unapologetically retro and he wears his influences on his sleeve;John Lennon,Curtis Mayfield,Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone are blended into a cohesive whole while making..."

"One of the best NWA solo albums. Cube's brutality on this album can justify how was probably the group's best MC. He was willing to be the villain which is quite fascinating. Interesting to note The Bomb Squad produced this album." Reply
