"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

""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

"Wow....suprised this isn't much higher up the list for 2001. I really like this album, it's a warm fuzzy reflective offering which has one of my favourite Mogwai tracks....'2 Rights Make 1 Wrong'." Reply

"Amazing, one of the best soundtracks of one of the best video games of all time... Amazingly Drowny, Evolvingly intense atmosphere, great interludes from mixed genres (Like Trip Hop ( "Heaven's Night"), Alternative Rock ("Promise") styles)... always mixing with the intense dark plot of the video ..."

"Though not their strongest effort, I'll like most anything that Built to Spill does. It's a solid effort that shows that they have an admirably consistent discography, maybe to a fault at times. Still, this remains a fine album." Reply

"This time around they come with crisper production and a few heightened gimmicks. Fortunately for them, all the gimmicks work, starting with the title track, "I and love and you", the love-song-by-addition which reflects the popular i-heart-NY t-shirt directed specifically at brooklyn. It's the b..." [+] Reply
