"I stumbled upon a Butthole Surfer set at CBGB on YouTube and was pleasantly surprised. Really dug the set so I decided to check out some of their music. Interesting listen. The album hits a nice stride with Dum Dum Wolly Boly and Negro Observer. The rest is a little too hardcore punk or just plai..." [+] Reply

"Supergrass gets more complex, more groovy, more funky... and more inconsistent. A little more cohesiveness would make this an amazing album. Instead, it's just really good." Reply

"30 November 2013 This is a pretty good album. There are some real highlights here, such as "Going, Going Gone", "Hazel", "Forever Young" (the first version :() and, of course, "Dirge". The main problem I have with this is it doesn't commit. For every good song there is, in my eyes, a somewhat lam..." [+] Reply

"Cartola's 2nd record is his masterpiece, with 3 of his greatest classics, "Preciso me Encontrar", "O Mundo É um Moinho" and "As Rosas Não Falam". Very romantic, poetic, melodic and melancholic old-fashioned samba, the kind you can't find anymore, because is not commercial or party-oriented. The l..." [+] Reply
"Clear Spot sees Captain Beefheart pursuing his blues rock career he restarted with Mirror Man. This album is the clear peak of said blues career. Subsequent releases are seriously lacking in any sort of personality, which Don Van Vliet had become known for. Clear Spot has some instances of him yo..." [+] Reply

"Although it's not quite as inventive as his later records, this is my personal favorite of Scott Walker's albums. His voice stands out as an incredible force that very few can compare to. Many of the best songs are from the Jacques Brel catalog that Walker borrowed from so often early on, and his..." [+] 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

"Better than their first album, Thickfreakness is a little heavier, and more songs stand out. Set You Free is one of the best Keys songs ever." Reply
