"Fantastic big beat electronic album by The Chemical Brothers. Heavy thumping techno beats with some psychedelic sounds throughout, if you're into that sorta thing."  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

"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

"Wow! I didn't know they still had an album like this in them with albums like St. Anger, Death Magnetic, and Lulu preceding this. The first disc is actually really, really solid. Hardwired is a strange song when every other song on the record is almost twice as long, but it's a good opener. Atlas..."  [+]  Reply

"This is completely unjust, a 69? Are you serious? This album wasn't AMAAZING, but it should have at the very least low to mid 70s. Honestly Hozier shows his artistic variety from the soulful guitars of "Jackie and Wilson" to the grandioise drums, pianos, and guitars of "Take me to church." But th..."  [+]  Reply
