"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'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

"Jason Pierce brings some better songs this time around but the spacey delivery still comes off a bit languid. That's not the case on "Hey Jane", "headin' for the top now" and "I am what i am" (i love backing vox and guitar wankery); but otherwise, i hope you can feel the words he sings because th..."

"I hope this record doesn't get forgotten over time, at the very least it deserves a lot more recognition than it already has in my opinion. Right from the very start the enormous ambition of this album becomes obvious, "Can't You See" is a huuuuge soundscape with a desperately pretty song being c..." [+] Reply

"A good album from the 90s. Ness' voice makes him come across as more of an Irish or Scottish protest artist rather than somebody from New England. Thankfully the lyrics that he writes are very well done and makes sure that his voice doesn't come across as a gimmick. Ball and Chain is the iconic s..." [+] Reply

"Along with Blag Flag and Bad Brains, Minor Threat helped create one of the most intense and heartfelt genres. Hard Core! Although the musicianship isn't completely there yet, this band deserves a nice score for creating a genre that spawned some of the greatest bands ever." Reply
