"It's pretty common that a reunion album from a group that has been away from a while ends up being a bit of a let down but this isn't the case with Jarvis Cocker and friends' first LP for 24 years. A thoroughly entertaining listen from front to back which has everything that made the band appeali..." [+] Reply

"This record is the second of a pair that Costello released in 1986, following the largely acoustic King of America. It was also the last album he would record with the Attractions until 1994's Brutal Youth. While I do prefer KoA, this album is still very strong, with some of the most furious perf..." [+] Reply

"The more I listen to this, I just can't stop. It's so refreshing to hear an artist just fucking telling it like it is. There's music that's depressing, and there's music that's honest, but rarely do the too seem to correlate. Depressing music always is so dreary and seems more intent on creating ..." [+] Reply

"Ah, 80's hair glam bubblegum metal pop. Motley Crue's 5th album was a huge smash, with 4 top 30 singles and massive sales. This album had all of the Hollywood Glam prerequisites: apostrophe shortened song titles (Same Ol' Situation), umlauts, aquanet, songs about groupie sex ("She Goes Down"), a ..." [+] Reply

"This feels like it is quite an under appreciated album. The songs are edgy and fun and really engaged me. The first six tracks hardly have a dull moment due to the depth of the music that you can enjoy. This makes the first part fly by and so for an album that is quite long it does not drag as mu..."

"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

"This is an album packed full of nostalgia and feels like it could have easily been made in the 70's with it giving off that classic feel good energy that is extremely infectious. Every song radiates this positivity in its instrumentation making it lovable and feel personal even if it is just your..." [+] Reply

"Common represents the streets, but he shows a different response to them. Instead of everything being about money, hos and violence, he wraps about struggling, moving forwards, and love. He gives a respectful vibe. His lyrics are intelligent and focused on growth. It also doesn't hurt that his fl..." [+] Reply

"So refreshing! I haven't been blown away like that by a first listen since quite some time! I will give that a few more listens, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it land in my top 50! Really incredible, super fun punk. Wow." Reply
