"I first really noticed The Cardigans one day in my car. I found a channel playing a song, which I thought must be a new Sheryl Crow single. I was very surprised when the DJ announced that it was The Cardigans. I don't remember which song it was, but I knew I had to buy one of their CD's to check ..."  [+]  Reply

"Energy, fire and skill. What makes it great to me, or rather, confirms it is that every one I spoke to when it came out had a different favourite track. Terse, violent slashing chords from Weller with great bass and drums counterpoint. Highly underrated. The Jam's best album IMHO."  Reply

"Meh. This album is entirely predictable, which can be a good thing but the fact that it's so predictable and so short isn't. The lyrics are classic quirky semi-pessimistic generic stuff about people and the instrumentation is folk played loudly. This album is basically In The Aeroplane Over The S..."  [+]  Reply

"A little more gentle on the ear than the fire and brimstone of Hex, Brix's influence can be heard throughout adding a melodic touch to the preceedings. Garden is a particular favourite here, lyrically it baffles and impresses in equal measure like all the great Fall tracks. 'His veiled sex seeps ..."  [+]  Reply

"What Bruno Mars lacks in a coherent track list and lack of theme, he makes up for with spirited vocal preformances with catchy hooks. Overall, the music is good, but does not feel right put together. Looking past that though, the singles off this record are some of 2010s best."  Reply

"I'm not really a big fan of Heavy Metal or Metal in general. But Iron Maiden is a very, very good band: guitar riffs give off an unparalleled energy, guitar solos are awesome ... Iron Maiden is one of the most catchy and energetic bands I know. They created real heavy metal hits: "Hallowed be thy..."  [+]  Reply

Their first decade of existence was and adaptation of the lyrics and sounds created in England by people like Madness, their breakthrough was to incorporate the sounds..."  [+]  Reply
