"Chuck Berry didn't really make any great albums; not his fault, they were singles artists in that era. Of course he may be the greatest singles artist EVER, so why not give he and the others (Elvis, Buddy, Little, etc.) the opportunity to appear on a list like this. I don't usually consider comps..."

"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

"I had to take a shower to get off all the ironically happy vibes. The lyrics are sub-par, the music is annoying, and the cover gives me a headache. Probably the worst album I went out of my way to listen to from 2010." Reply

"I was surprised about the brevity of this third album. Generally I like succinct albums that are compact, consistent, and, as short as they are, justify their scope and form. Everything from "Pink Moon" to "You're Nothing" and "Is This It?" have benefited from their short 37- min runtimes, while ..." [+] Reply

"REM's 12th album, and second without Bill Berry. It's a much warmer album than it's predecessor, up. In fact, you could probably call it REM's summer album. It was preceded by the single, imitation of life, which is ok, but it's a bit throwaway by REM standards, and feels a little out of place on..." [+] Reply

"I have waited many years for this to be re released on vinyl and at last that day has come. Excellent progressive album with what is possibly the most bizarre sleeve art in all of my collection. I always wondered what the H to He part of the album title meant, I now realise it is ‘the fusion of H..." [+] Reply
