"Sure, everyone wants to talk about how this is the start of techno but that's not why this album is good. Kraftwerk built a hypnotic, robotic environment that's a cold creepy place to get lost in. It's a prediction a the future we've only just recently entered where our souls have been lost to ma..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic album, really hits off once you get to Looks Just Like The Sun. From there BSS gives you a wonderful instrumental piece (Pacific Theme) and then onto the two highlights: the beautiful Anthem For A Seventeen Year Old Girl and the excellent Cause=Time. While nothing else on the album hits..."  [+]  Reply

"The psychotic, psychedelic sound is still fresh and the songwriting is perfect. The band achieved a sound and sensibility that was soaked in neurosis and melancholy but rushed madly forward with the noise and chaos of a derailed driverless train or an acid trip gone wrong. There was a mix of nost..."  [+]  Reply

"Maybe some of you have seen "The Wire", which is the greatest television show ever made. This is the musical equivelant, even if it came years before. This is rap that is scary good. I dare say it's a work of art."  Reply

"Some of the pop references date this album and it is much more silly than The Eminem Show which I prefer over this. Can't deny the effect it had on pop culture. Can't deny his word play and linguistics. Even if the topics are now seen as immature now, they were rule benders and breakers at the ti..."  [+]  Reply

"Every time I listen to this album it's 1968 and not even my computer can convince me otherwise. The honesty and raw delivery of this performance bleeds a humanity that transcends beyond the music itself. This hour-long performance yielded the best country LP you will come across."  Reply

"It's always tough for an album whose opening track begs for endless repetition. As a result of listening to "Search and Destroy" and then needing to listen to "Search and Destroy" twenty more times, I've only been able to get all the way through Raw Power on a handful of occasions. Still, it was ..."  [+]  Reply

"I was a 16-year old camp counselor in training, far from home in a primitive forest. I ran a high fever for two days with a horrific bout of tonsillitis. All I could do was lay on a bunk in a cabin with no air conditioning and listen to my records on headphones, sweating and hallucinating. This w..."  [+]  Reply

"This album has 2015 off to a fine start, already looking miles ahead of 2014. Only on my first listen, but this is a very well put together record. There are certainly sparse Fleet Foxes vibes, as well as so many others, including Pink Floyd that I'm getting right now. John also utilizes the same..."  [+]  Reply

"The subject matter throughout this album is extremely edgy and filled with teenage girl angst. I don't think I have ever heard another example of a 90s album with the combination of such raw female vocals, in your face lyrics, and at the same time bubblegum production quality like this album has...."  [+]  Reply
