"Lately, The Flaming Lips have entered a very experimental stage of their career. They’ve always been fairly experimental and odd in their music, but lately they’ve been going in a very different direction from some of their earlier albums like “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and “The Soft Bulle..."  [+]  Reply

"This album meant absolutely nothing to me first few times I heard it, and I have no idea how. Pop-punk was a massive part of my high school experience and I gave all of the big bands a shot, but it seems the appeal of this record was lost on me at the time. I gave it a try again my senior year of..."  [+]  Reply

"This one suffered a lot of ridicule around the time of its release. A bit unfair. It's good, solid bluesy rock all the way through. Nothing remarkable but well executed."  Reply

"This superbly orchestrated album is full of imposing and intense arrangements that merge Slavic-style hymns, Gregorian liturgy, Celtic folk music, Tibetan chants and Renaissance Madrigals. The stately symphonic overtones evoke early King Crimson with a modern twist."  Reply

"This is Al Green's best selling album not counting greatest hits..and "Love and Happiness" is probably in my top 5 favorite R/B tracks..at the time, 1972, "Love and Happiness" was so big on black radio, it was the song that sold the album much more than "I'm still in love with you" single..of cou..."  [+]  Reply

"A few of the songs are jams that can sound a bit unfocused at times and White occasionally sounds like a caricature of himself, but he does it in a way that welcomes reinvention and I love the high energy here. There are some weirder more experimental moments that threw me for a loop and were ver..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is a lot better than people give it credit for... Some of Weller's most beautiful songs in "Ghosts" and "Carnation," and "Town Called Malice" is an all-time classic. There's not really any useless songs on this, and he's trying a lot of new styles, most of which turn out fairly well."  Reply

"Gotta say, this is a really solid album. Probably Motley Crue's best and their most perfect blend of heavy metal and glam metal. Motley Crue will always remain a dumb band, but they've got some good hard rocking tunes."  Reply
