"Strong piano soft rock, although not as consistent as its follow-up. Piano Man is a classic and other tracks worth mentioning include Travelin' Prayer and Captain Jack. Unfortunately the mid-section does not quite hold up." Reply

"This is a phenomenal metal album in my opinion! Frim the first 20 seconds of track one this album is pure shred, riff, and metal up the ass. It actually blew me away how much I liked this. My favorite artist is Megadeth and this album competes with their best in my opinion. Then you get to Voice ..." [+] Reply

"Wonderful singles 'Take A Bow' and 'Secret' but a bit weak NON-single material. Among non-single tracks I adore 'Forbidden Love' (should've been a single). 'Survival' and 'Don't Stop' are good though" Reply
"Good album, considered the comeback album by Oasis and it does it well. There some great tunes like Lyla and Let There Be Love that are anthemic and memorable much like past Oasis hits. The Importance of Being Idle is probably one of the best tracks Noel has ever written." 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

"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

"There is something quite disconcerting about the cover of this album, it is one of my all time favourite album covers for that very reason, the gloss green, the central water droplet, the text font, the name 'Rubycon' builds the imagination as to what lies within. I am fortunate to own a near min..." [+] Reply

"While Leaves Turn Inside You then Repetition got me into this band, New Plastic Ideas was the album that really left a huge impression on me. The album encompasses some of the things I really love about rock music in its true form, from the raw musical expression, to the intricate melodies and me..." [+] Reply

"Incubus's best album with Morning View to follow a close second. The Warmth is the best track here with a great guitar effect throughout Pardon Me, Drive, I Miss You Are fantastic. Tracks 1 through 3 are solid. Stellar is good too. There isn't a bad song here and the pinnacle of Incubus powers." [+] Reply
