""It's cool hearing the topics discussed by someone who is actually transgender, but keep in mind the Replacements released Androgynous 30 years ago." Believe it or not, "Androgynous" is about androgyny not transgender. It's literally about how gender doesn't (or shouldn't) define how people dress..." [+] Reply

"Came to Husker Du through Mega City Four doing a cover of Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely so this album was a starting point. In fact all these years later I still only have Candy Apple Grey and Zen Arcade which I have to say I've never really got into. Candy Apple Grey is just much more acc..." [+] 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

"Bill Evans gets a bit overshadowed here; he's great, but he's not mic-ed up great and he's not bringing the harder edges the other players are. Eric Dolphy on this album, oh my god. Check out Yearnin', where he plays the last part of the head with total precision, and then immediately goes wailin..." [+] Reply

"DO NOT let taking back sundays later work put you off this album!!! (the 2nd album was okay, after that its useless.) I see this album as under rated. By far taking back sundays best work in my opinion (though it isn't in the most charts on here...) good lyrics, incredibly catchy chorus' certainl..." [+] Reply
"There would be plenty of reasons to be growing tired of Peggy‘s shtick. Last year's Scaring the Hoes had its moments, but an overly online vernacular and ropey finish stopped it from staying amongst my favourites of 2023 – not to mention his fawning over Kanye earlier this year when offered a pro..."

"Such a great band, one of the best artists of the 2000s. This is one of my 5 favorite albums of 2004 easily. They have an awesome sound and wonderful vocals." Reply

"Another album that works fantastically well as a whole. Dark, brooding, lyrically challenging (as was all Matt Johnson's work) - any album to play at the start of a dark winter's night. Great atmosphere." Reply
"Really great album. Contains 3 Cohen classics, "Hallelujah", "If it be your will" and "Dance me to the end of love". All other tracks are good as well with some great poetry; the lyrics to "Night Comes On" especially resonate with me. I'm surprised it isn't regarded higher by more reviewers. A mu..." [+] Reply
