"Rapping records in the late 80s came out, it seemed, on a near weekly basis that upped the game on the last. The lead single and title track on this, just like the first single on the debut, upped the game to such an extent that it just left all competition destroyed. Well, competition is none eh..."

"The House of Love as well as The Cocteau Twins, Sonic Youth, and My Bloody Valentine fundamentally laid down the foundations for the shoegazer sound on this album. FACT. Something made all the more cruel considering how largely forgotten this album and the band currently are. From the sour downca..." [+] Reply

"I might go as far to say this is my favourite album to listen to ever, but I feel it's not really an album in the sense everything else is, so I'm abstaining it from my chart.

Woody's influence on the music Bob Dylan, the Byr..." [+] Reply

"This was a thoroughly enjoyable album and there seems to be a few more risks taken on this album than their previous work. While there still is the odd generic song that could and should have been cut, there is also a lot of great songs. Such as Good Girls and How Not To Drown where the Robert Sm..." [+] Reply
