"It is strange that this is considered as EP. It is more than 30 minutes long after all. "Reign in Blood" by Slayer is 29 minutes long and it is not even the shortest album of all-time. The Donnas made shorter with "American Teenage Rock N' Roll Machine". However, this just amazing. It is like a s..." [+] Reply
"No line on the horizon, is U2 getting back to their more arty groove, it's a much more challenging record than most of their Other albums, and is all the better for it. The title track kicks off the LP, sounding nothing like they've ever sounded before. Magnificent, is more traditional U2, and is..." [+] Reply

"Strong debut. Extremely samey...the entire album feels like one long, brooding, intimately honest song (a vast majority of these tracks have an extremely similar structure and tempo), but it works. There are a few casualties due to the overarching sound (some of these tracks are very forgettable ..." [+] Reply

"what the hell did i just listen to!? it's weird, as alluded by the title (and that creepy album art). but it's strangely captivating. i need to listen again a couple of times. this is either a new favorite or, er, do i even know? it's bizarre. that is a sure thing." Reply

"I first really noticed The Cardigans one day in my car. I found a channel playing a song, which I thought must be a new Sheryl Crow single. I was very surprised when the DJ announced that it was The Cardigans. I don't remember which song it was, but I knew I had to buy one of their CD's to check ..." [+] Reply
"I enjoyed this album a lot. It may be not as good as Loveless or Ride's Nowhere, but it's a very good shoegazing record. It's a consistent album, there is not a low point here, it's energetic, fun and dreamy at the same time. It's recommended to any shoegazing fans. My track picks are: 'I Want to..." [+] Reply

"Their classic album and brilliant introduction to the warped perfectionism of Lawrence Felt. As well as All the People I Like Are Those That Are Dead, A Wave Crashed on Rocks, and Hours of Darkness Have Changed My Mind are highlights." Reply
