"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

"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

"Some consider this too 'poppy'. This 'supergroup' was formed from the ashes of 'Yes', 'King Crimson' and 'ELP' and given its release in 1982 could never have been 'Close to the Edge', 'Brain Salad Surgery', or 'In the Court of the Crimson King'. Granted, the album is radio friendly and delivered ..."  [+]  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

"I love Saint Etienne: their melodicism, accessibility, danceability, cleverness, cool passion and taste. And their impeccable album discography starts with this classy debut."  Reply

"I've yet to hear a mediocre recording from The Duke, but this one is something special. It's more energetic and adventurous than his work with the Blanton-Webster band. There are a lot of great tracks, but I especially enjoyed "A Tone Parallel to Harlem.""  Reply

"The Killers Most Cohesive Album Yet A lot of people’s biggest problem with the Killers is their lack of album flow and consistency. The biggest example of this is Hot Fuss. The first side of the album is LOADED with hit after hit and contains some of the best music of the early 2000s. Only to be ..."  [+]  Reply
