"Wow, what a beautiful listen. ‘God Save The Animals’ sounds both starkly original yet familiar at the same time, sporting thirteen deeply expressive and poignant tracks of indie rock/ folk." Reply

""Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed on wall street, A single mom of three, a TV personality" gushes the lead singer on the opener. The bizarre imagery of 'Chamber The Cartridge' is all about the world ready to explode and collapse on itsown weight. So a typical Rise Against albu..." [+] Reply
"Why in the world is this album ranked number 108 on THIS YEAR'S list? This album is one of Rush's best, full of challenging instrumental passages, wonderful strings, and some solid melodies on songs like "The Wreckers". Rush haven't been very melodic in the last 15 years, but they seem to be turn..." [+] Reply

"It's a polished amalgam of PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Less jarring, better singing. This album has this orchestral lushness to it that I find extremely sedative." Reply

"Hmm, would you look at that. User SaulCortes1992 has given the album a 5/100 rating two weeks before the album is released. Looking at his charts, not surprised to see yet another elitist rockist user on here." Reply

"Slowly honed by the tides of time, this high quality offering has become surprisingly stuck to my digital turntable. The album’s quality is inescapable, but it’s the experience and beauty in Gabriel’s voice, now in its eighth decade, that really impresses." Reply

"I have no idea what the point of this is, but this has to be one of the best albums I've ever heard. Easily in my top 15." Reply
"It's a really great album. Synth-Pop at it's best. "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Right By Your Side", "Who's That Girl", "Cool Blue" - Heavy and light, cold and warm, such a diverse album." Reply

"Van Halen expands its musical palette on "Women and Children First," maturing beyond the party anthems of "Van Halen" and "II," while retaining its lust for life. The dark undercurrents and tension evident throughout "Women and Children First" are unlike anything heard on Van Halen's two 1970s al..." [+] Reply

"This guy man. Look, I'm not arsed about your chin stroking jazz man who can tell me a load of reasons why this ain't the real deal. I only know that he brings the feelings every time and when I saw him live he knocked my sober socks off. At the end of the day, what the fuck more d'yer want?" Reply
