"I think this took U2 to a new level... more the event than the album, but this album captured U2 as a live band... what they are amazing at. Their studio albums are good, but 10 times better live." 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..."

"Like Enya at her most harmonic, Sara Bareilles at her most melodic, Janelle Monae at her most musical. Amazing album." 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

"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

"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

"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

"Everyone's always like "ooh, founding fathers rapping LOL" but I honestly don't see it that way, this is just a natural progression of Broadway musicals, instead of everything being sung through, it's just said with a rhythm that keeps you involved. Of course there's that AND an abundance of just..." [+] Reply

"Pusha T sounds almost as good as Daytona Pusha T on this project, but the production does not for the most part. It starts off well with the fantastic “Brambleton” but the strong start does not continue. While Daytona is heavy sample based like this album; the choice of samples on Daytona create ..." [+] Reply
