"'Constellation Of The Heart' is the strangest thing Kate Bush has even done. That might be a tall feat but it holds true for me simply because it represents everything we thought she wasn't. That being a typical 80's artist. Typical 80's artist... THIS IS 1993!!! Get a move on! We can't stay in t..." [+] Reply

"Nothing truly bad here, but just far too many generic slow ballads. Tight A$ and Meat City are good rockers off the album and they help with the pacing. Bring on the Lucie (Freda People) isn't quite as good as those for me, but it's alright. One Day (At a Time) is probably the best song off the a..." [+] Reply

"One of the greatest tenor albums ever. One of the greatest jazz albums ever. This is a must for any fan of sax, jazz or hard bop." 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

"Nevermind: the whole damn thing is superb. Another excellent work from Pharoah that nearly rivals Karma. There's no beating Karma, but this is still an essential album. It has a very cool flow to it; always moving and changing and progressing, while always toeing the line between form and formles..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic Mach 1 album! April is one of the most epic songs ever! It's my third favorite Deep Purple album. I'd consider it underrated for sure." Reply

"The best album of 1985 (the year sucked), and one of the best emo albums. The Rites' only studio record is one of the most visceral compilations of cerebral music there is, and probably one of the most influential albums on the decade. The general sound is very lo-fi but that doesn't mean it soun..." [+] Reply

"Mixed feelings about this one. It has some great songs like Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies, Saturday Superhouse, 9/15ths and Machines but 4-5 tracks are quite skippable. The rest of the record shows Neil's improvement in songwriting. Overall a good listen but nothing more" Reply
"All shapes of sadness on this album. But as a whole the album seems a bit boring. Good songs: 1. Normal song. Magic mix of voice and acoustic guitar. Dreamy 2. Dark parts. Sentimental and honest with nice image: "dark parts" 3. Hood. The most interesting, has drive. I like the line "U would never..." [+] Reply
