""mass romantic" is one catchy mutha of indie pop. Entire songs sound like one long catchy chorus with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, like the title track headed by the sultry neko case belting out lines like "Now this romantic duel is into the streets, / bon appetit, you've eaten me alive... " Many song..."  [+]  Reply

"A classic jazz fusion album from the 1970's. Great musicianship especially from Jaco Pastorius (fretless bass), and Joe Zawinul (keyboards). Also this album has classic jazz standards such as "Birdland","Teen Town", and Wayne Shorter composition "A Remark You Made." Classic album."  Reply

"This is the perfect album from start to finish and the connection of the first and last song is very clever and brilliant musically. Every song is great but My Happiness is their gem along with Like A Dog, My Kind Of Scene and These Days. The album was voted best Australian album of all time on t..."  [+]  Reply

"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

"Like "Something Else" by Cannonball Adderley it becomes fairly obvious early that there's a huge Miles Davis influence on the album. Melodic, tasteful, strict adherence to the groove in the midst of soloing. Sonny has similar style to the great Bill Evans (ok, that's my opinion and probably not t..."  [+]  Reply

"I don’t think words can accurately describe how much I love Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth. His music, his albums, are just flawless. They really are. I have not heard an album of his, and he’s released three and two EPs, that I thought was bad, or even that I thought was mediocre..."  [+]  Reply

Australia Jet
"I think that this was one of the definitive albums of the 00's. Jet's "Get Born" was possibly one of the safest Rock 'n Roll phenomenon's of all time. I mean, c'mon, what's safer than an Australian ACDC/Iggy Pop/Supremes hybrid ? I prefer it to any album that The White Stripes, The Strokes, The V..."  [+]  Reply
