"Swan Song of the classic 10 CC line-up, perhaps their best album... After the release of the excellent "The Original Soundtrack" (1975), which became their commercial breakthrough, thanks to the hit Im Not In Love, 10CC naturally wanted to build on the success, and "How Dare You" turned out to be..."  [+]  Reply

"The general consensus that this album is regressive after the creative leap of the, today, album, is slightly misleading. It features some of the beach boys most forward thinking moments. The most famous off course is the brilliant, California girls, the intro is stunning. The non vocal, summer m..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm reviewing this album because honestly I kind of hate it and want to add a dissenting opinion to all the praise it has gotten. I think most people are of the opinion that PIL were at the top of their game on Metal Box and I can understand that. Personally I think that Album with Bill Laswell i..."  [+]  Reply

"Not as good as TA13OO imo, but it's straight fire. Shorter (only 29 minutes), more to the point and much more upbeat and hard-hitting. However I find TA13OO to be a more engaging listen, although both albums are excellent. Cannot wait to hear more from Denzel!"  Reply

"Listening to Teenager of the Year, I can't help but be amazed at the amount of music this man had inside of him. This 22 songs-long tour de force manages to be astounding from start fo finish despite its ambitious length and it's as good, or maybe even better, than anything he did with the Pixies..."  [+]  Reply

"This is an album which I've felt many ways about at many different times. When I first heard it I thought it was an emperor's new clothes situation. I heard all the glowing reviews, heard the story of Skip Spence, the way this ramshackle, indescribable album influenced a lot of my favorite artist..."  [+]  Reply

"What a wonderful surprise! This was very enjoyable. Other comments have noted similarities to Pink Floyd and Tame Impala, but I think there is influence from The Weeknd and Kid Cudi here too. Even though his sound has been elevated with these new sonic pallets, he still sounds like the same artis..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most underrated punk albums ever. This is pure fury, which ends up sounding a little silly at times (the vials on the first two tracks) but is unrelenting. Sex Bomb might be the greatest punk song ever - horns are something that are lacking in punk, which is weird considering how great..."  [+]  Reply
