"A great combination of Jazz and Soul, vocalist Anita Baker set the standard for 1980-1990's singers. "Rapture" was deservedly a big hit on the R&B charts and the Pop Charts with glorious singles like "Sweet Love", "No One In The World", and the title cut. A divine listen which bears repeated plays."

"Really underrated and misunderstood. Many fans including me were shocked with the straightforward pop/rock, emphasis on pop, of Minutes To Midnight. That whole album scaled down the intensity and punch of previous Linkin Park. A Thousand Suns is generally more mellow too but it is way more creati..." [+] Reply
"Tracks 1 (reprised at 6), 2, and 5 are especially strong. A nice blend of traditional and modern styles (at least modern by 1964 standards). Still sounds fresh and dynamic all these years later. The middle two tracks are excellent as well, but not up to the level as the bookends. 9.5/10!" 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

"An energetic and enjoyable album from Magazine. It's a surprisingly overlooked record, but it's full of good songs. Maybe not as strong as, real life, but decent enough." Reply

"Such a blast to listen to. First time making my way through Blind Melon's discography but this one easily surpasses their debut album for me, at least as far as first listens are concerned. It lacks a radio hit single type song like "No Rain", but it's far more consistent, unpredictable, multilay..." [+] Reply
"McKinley Dixon has come into his own as one of music's most thoughtful emcees. The heart and soul that he puts into his work shines through in every bar, every beat, and every minute detail is stunning. It's a joy to experience his music" Reply
