"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
"Pretty sure this is the most I've enjoyed Destroyer. Loved the singles and the album has a great flow. Has like a similarity to early Brian Eno which includes Another Green World and like a hint of Talking Heads so like that Eno/Byrne album or something? I dunno it's super cool and exciting music..."

"Brainwashed was to be George Harrison's last album. He was working on it till close to his death in November 2001. It was finished and co-priduced by friend and producer Jeff Lynne, and the sound is quite similar to their previous collaborations in the Travelling Wilburys and George`s "Cloud Nine..." [+] Reply

"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

"This is an adorable little prog album. Really exciting and somewhat cheesy listen. But it's a sophisticated sort of cheese... Like blue cheese. It's like blue cheese and wine." Reply

"The jayhawks "rainy day music" is an extension of what they put out on "smile" with maybe a more adult-contemporary slant, watering down the country to the point of near-invisibility. Hits include "stumbling through the dark", the ultra-catchy "tailspin", "tampa to tulsa" and "save it for a rainy..." [+] Reply

"I only recently rediscovered this and realized that this was likely the first album that I fell in love with as a full product. Gaga's truly had it together since day one. Even on top of the nostalgia value, all the songs still hold up." Reply

"My favourite Procol Harum album. Every song is brilliant and it works so well as an album. Very underrated." Reply
"Best album in its genre. The genre being the synthpop revival of the ‘00s, which was without doubt the most important genre of that decade. The Madonna generation had matured and started making their own music. There was tough competition: Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Madonna herself. Bu..." [+] Reply
