""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

"Tank! is one of the greatest pieces of jazz music ever created!!! Phinomenal song from a great album!!!" 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

"Reading comments for this album, all I can think about this site is that people here either have a great sense of humor, an awful taste or are completely nuts. Taylor Swift a great songwriter? Please tell me you're joking." 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

"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
"Rapping records in the late 80s came out, it seemed, on a near weekly basis that upped the game on the last. The lead single and title track on this, just like the first single on the debut, upped the game to such an extent that it just left all competition destroyed. Well, competition is none eh..."
