"I'M ALIVE!!!! Bruce Springsteen is back on a rocking album full of nostalgia and the celebration and thrill of being alive. Recorded entirely live, a few overdubs aside, it is the sound of the E street band on stage and firing on all cylinders. "One minute you're gone" kicks off the record on a c..."  [+]  Reply

"Really good, track for track, but you could cut three or four songs here without missing anything. Otherwise, terrific songwriting--if a little samey--and even better production."  Reply

"During Big Pun's unfortunately short lifetime, he released only one album, 1998's "Capital Punishment," and with this one release he amassed the reputation of one of New York's greatest MCs ever. Listening to this album, it's not hard to see why. Pun shows simply amazing technique, lyricism, and ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album was their highest selling album. I first heard a little of it in 6th Form when teacher played it in her room on one of the days coming up to Christmas. We had been learning about 'Oh What A Lovely War' and 'Journey's End' at the time. I think I got album from HMV at 'The Fort' (sadly t..."  [+]  Reply

"Ah yes the "Christian Years". This is generally regarded as a bad time in Bob Dylan's career. Musically the music became very dramatic, religious, overbearing, clean and kind of self-righteous. And this is the album where it all got kicked off. I'm not a big fan of the new thematic direction Dyla..."  [+]  Reply

"To me, Daisy is the best Brand New album. One may argue that it is because of my slight bias towards post-hardcore over emo, but after listening to Deja Entendu, TDAGARIM and Daisy many times I've come to the conclusion that this album is the best. Deja Entendu, to begin with, completely blew You..."  [+]  Reply

"There are some great moments, and some boring moments, on this one. At 70 minutes, this could've been shaved into a much tighter album, not necessarily cutting songs, as they all have their moments, but trimming down the excess a bit. But then it wouldn't exactly be a Dave Matthews Band album, wo..."  [+]  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
