"One of the greatest prog/post-punk albums ever recorded, with texture and invention to spare. Dark, visual, unusual and masterfully executed. An immaculate and underrated tour de force. A psychedelic masterpiece. Difficult music indeed, for people who appreciate a challenging listen over spoon-fe..." [+] Reply
"A true gem of an album that is very underrated. From the opening bass of Street Fighting Years to the haunting and magical guitar rifts, creative percussions, atmospheric keyboards and orchestral sounds of all the tracks, this is a great listen. It has strong political, human rights and emotional..." [+] Reply

"19 only has one review? lol I can't believe that based on Adele's current popularity. I'm not a fan of this album although Chasing Pavements is a great song. It's far too coffee house for my liking. You can tell within the first 5 seconds of 21 that that album in tone is considerably different th..." [+] Reply

"First half of this album is amazing, all near perfects songs, but then it just goes downhill from there, the second half is weak and lame compared to the first half." Reply

"Maladroit is Weezer's most underrated album. Green Album disappointed fans too much and Maladroit was just similar enough to the Green Album to get roped in with the same reputation. There are subtle differences that make this better. It rocks harder with more force than any other Weezer record. ..." [+] 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
"The Faces best album. ANAGAAWTABH, is one of the ultimate party records, full of great sweaty rock'n'roll that is utterly infectious. All the band are on top form with, debris, st. Judy's farm, and off course, stay with me, all brilliant. Sometimes it feels there are two band's here, the Rod Stew..." [+] Reply
