"I'm suprised that I'm the first to rate this, considering the "Eighties/Come As You Are" debacle. In any case, this whole album is the epitome of cool. It's legit. You guys need to go to more goth clubs."  Reply

"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God."  Reply

"Good lyrics. Decent melodies, although not very varied. It is very well performed and produced. Not a lot of songs here would be memorable hits, but some songs are still catchy within this post Britpop style. Worth a second listen, IMO. 9/10!"  Reply

"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

"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

"I love this album, catchy and aggressive and young. The energy in this album is infectious. Very beatle-ish melody's with Debbie's vocals charm, I mean, who can ask for more? and Clem Burke, he is everything!"  Reply

"Exquisite, off-kilter dream-pop that conjures up a variety of moods, settings and time-periods. Very enveloping and an obvious precursor to later works in that genre."  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

"They do rival CSN, whom I really like as well, for their vocals and harmonies. I enjoyed every song on this album and will listen to them many times to come. A very relaxing album."  Reply

"Taylor follows up his breakout record with another very solid effort. Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon carries some of his trademark tracks. The album is a bit more produced than Sweet Baby James, but Taylor's sound remains in tact. Its a solid rival to its predecessor and I listen to it nearl..."  [+]  Reply
