"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

"Possibly the most venomous satire of Newman's career atop breezy country, orchestral and jazz arrangements. As always Newman spares no one side a fraction of his wit."  Reply

"I'm really surprised to see how low this on overall rankings One Headlight is classic. The Difference, Three Marlenas, 6th Avenue Heartache all fantastic singles I Wish I Felt Nothing, Bleeders, Invisible City, and to a lesser extent, Josephine are all great great songs. They are blue collar band..."  [+]  Reply

"Failure in general is so overlooked but this album is truly an underrated gem of the 90s. in this album the band has finally found their sound: the perfect balance between heavy and melodic, dark and sappy, and an amazing production. the songwriting really shines on this one and the lyrics are gr..."  [+]  Reply

"authentic and native heavy metal album. if you like this kind of music (pure heavy metal), you will adore this one quite likely. dio has a fantastic hardrock voice - maybe the best? imo much more intense than judas priest's shot."  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

"Great follow up to, limbo panto. Two dancers, is a slightly more reserved, if that's the right word, but in a good way. I'm probably trying to say that this album is a lot less bonkers than the first one. Still, two dancers, is great with strong cuts in, hooting and howling, and, this is our lot...."  [+]  Reply

"The recording of Sheet Music is reputed to be the highlight for the four members of 10cc. However, it is The Original Soundtrack that portrays the clever lyrics with catchy music and melodies. Une nuit in Paris is by far the wittiest song ever written. It is followed by the moving I'm Not in Love..."  [+]  Reply

"A fantastic gem in the dust! One Way and Game will satisfy you if you want great pop songs. However this album is much more than that. The strings, guitars, folk instruments and whatever else they play. They all meld into one fantastic sound. The singer is genuiune and the music has a real soul. ..."  [+]  Reply
