"Adele recently put out a pop album that received raves from critics, extraordinary sales numbers, and a countless number of awards. This was due to her incredible voice, emotionally written lyrics, and flat out enjoyable music. A few years prior, the album that fit the exact description above was..." [+] 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
"This album is difficult. Not an easily assessable band this record carries on in the same vein as The Modern Dance. You have to give it several listens to reap the rewards and it's worth it." Reply

"Despite the website’a rankings, Gran Turismo tends to be the weakest Cardigans album for me. The high points are definitely the weakest and less frequent, and has more slog than any of the others. Still good, but a weak point in an attempt to rebound from the success Lovefool brought. Best songs:..." [+] Reply

"Recovering the Satellite's is their debut but a little darker and louder. This album also has more filler and less classics. A Long December is the best known and would have fit perfectly on the debut. Children in Bloom is and underrated excellent rocker and relatively heavy for Counting Crows. G..." [+] Reply
"Gorgeous album! Anyone with an appreciation of jazz should give it a spin. Be sure to listen to the 10 minute version of Unconditional Love or at least check it out live on YouTube." Reply

"I can't believe there is only one comment about this all-time classic album. Gorgeous harmonies. Perfect. Strongly influenced by the Byrds. My favourite track is I Don't Want Control of You which Norman wrote about his baby daughter. Author Nick Hornby, (he of the love letter to mix tapes in his ..." [+] Reply
