"This is the VU's worst album (not counting Squeeze, of course), which means it is also one of the best albums of all-time." Reply

"Fantano also gave The Money Store 10/10 yet you don't see it at the top of 2012.He thought MBDTF was average but BEA has it as second best of 2010.So no,it's not first because a famous critic gave it a perfect score." Reply

"It combines indie and noise rock in a really awesome way. The combination of experimentation with traditional indie music leads to a fantastic sound.

"I have trouble understanding why this album isn't universally recognized as their best when it's far more consistent than Stankonia. Stankonia loses its steam after putting all its best songs towards the beginning and it just doesn't reach the watermark set by this album. I also don't understand ..." [+] Reply

"This is yet another great folk pop album from S&G. Maybe they go a little overboard with effects (like how the gospel-like vocals are piped in in "save the life of my child" and the voices in "voices of old people" go on a little long), but the album is still great regardless and feels BIG overal..."

"Room on Fire is This is It version 2.0 That is what ultimately hurts the legacy of their sophomore effort. Reptilia is better than anything on Is This It? But the whole album is safe and by the end of it the thinking is basically, "This is great too, but I have heard it before" and "Okay, but can..." [+] Reply
