"This album needs and deserves commenting on! So here's what I've written about it on my chart: In my opinion, this is everything OK Computer is made out to be and more - a reflection on our primal human nature and its dislocation in a modern industrialized world. The album features beautiful soun..." [+] Reply

""New Miserable Experience" is an alt-pop gem borrowing from big star, and is near-perfect in its effortless alt-poppy-ness. Almost every track sounds like a hit. This is another album that closes with a pseudo-alt-country song at the end called "cheatin'" which has the fun line "you can't call it..." [+] Reply

"Been years since I heard this but recently reconnected and loved it - forgot about those album tracks like King Volcano, Who Killed Mister Moonlight, Slice of Life, Honeymoon Croon and Hope. These include some lighter moments from eth masters of gothic" Reply

"This album is mentioned as a prime example of "What Rudy Van Gelder Did 'Wrong'" in an article under that title at the Reverb com site, which is a gear trading site all musicians go to. I recommend doing a search for that title and checking out the article for a brief but excellent discussion of ..." [+] Reply
"Personally I reckon Chemical Beats is the only duff track on the album. There is no better soundtrack for staggering home at 4/5am after leaving a club than One Too Many Mornings. This album has aged really well - hard to believe it's nearly 20 years old. Where did that time go?" Reply

"I enjoyed listening to it but despite all compliments like consistency, bravery of shifting music style or mellow songs, the conclusive point is that there isn't any big deal about the album." Reply

"Been a few top class come backs from older artists this decade from people like Nas or Suede, who many had written off for good reason. I certainly had and their last before this I thought was a final embarrassing nail and a low point. It's funny how adversity can galvanise acts to push further, ..." [+] Reply

"A strong Iron Maiden album although as with latter day Maiden albums it's short of those classic metal anthems they were so brilliant at writing in the eighties. Still, it's all solid stuff from a band who are still burning brightly." Reply
"Excellent solo album from former band member Robbie Robertson. Excellent song writing, playing, and production create a fantastic album that takes the listener on a terrific journey. Transports the listener to a tranquil place of robertsons creation. Standout tracks: Broken Arrow, somewhere down ..." [+] Reply
