"Good album by Beck, it starts off really strong but kinda dips in quality towards the last 5 tracks (the No Complaints through Motorcade run is particularly a step down in quality compared to the tracks before them). Still, it's a solid record and it has one of my favorite songs by Beck (Soldier ..."  [+]  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..."  [+]  Reply

"I like to think of this as the second half of The Streets' A Grand Don't Come For Free written from the girl's perspective. I can't believe I never bothered to listen for a whole 10 years."  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

"Not to imply that Orchid is bad or that it’s not worth listening to, but Mornigrise serves as a major step forward in solidifying a sonic identity Opeth could be recognized by. Akerfeldt has always had one of the best growls in the business as far as I’m concerned. This is a great and dynamic sop..."  [+]  Reply

"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..."  [+]  Reply

"Cringy lyrics, awkward production choices and pseudo "omg so experimental" qualities. It's only experimental in the realm of pop, and merging popular sounds together isn't hard or unique; it's been done plenty of times before, and better. (see: Gorillaz) Going wild in a small sandbox isn't really..."  [+]  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
