"It's that great Kinks thing of optimistic uplifting music with pessimistic depressing lyrics. His voice is fantastic and I'd say this is better than their debut. It's more cohesive. It's 21st Century young adult troubles funneled into blissful and meticulous electro-pop." Reply

"The Cult, similar to other bands like AC/DC, have a signature sound that makes a lot of their songs sound "samey", which can be good or bad, depending on whether you like them or not. And this album is mostly no exception. First 8 tracks are good, and 10 is decent too. But "Born to be Wild" is no..." [+] Reply

"Very good indie rock album. Best 10 songs average is 92,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. I like this sound and the album is rich in variety. Notable are the well-fitting electronic instruments and samples here and there. Best songs are the first three: "Everyday I love...", "I predic..." [+] Reply

"Nightwish's best and most eclectic release. Sure, it's cheesy in a few places, but that's just par for the course for the genre. Song of Myself is one of the best songs in the symphonic metal genre (and easily a top-5 Nightwish track) if you exclude the lengthy poem coda (I still like that segmen..." [+] Reply
"A very strong debut. Maybe even better than the Rolling Stones 64 debut. The band sound very tight and clear, and the bass lines are glorious. A commonplace would be to say that "House of the rising sun" is the highlight. HOTRS is the best track, but the real highlight is Eric Burdon's powerful a..." [+] Reply

"“There’s this woman on the internet, Even if she’s some Nigerian guy Yeah well you should read the poetry he speaks to me, i don’t care if they’re just beautiful lies.” Holy shit lmao this album is fuckin amazing." Reply
"Nothing but the greatest country album AND the greatest acoustic singer/songwriter album in the same package. Includes the classic Me and Bobby McGee of course, but another four or five lesser known tracks are just as brilliant, To Beat the Devil being the foremost. If you don't like Kris Kristof..."

"I might go as far to say this is my favourite album to listen to ever, but I feel it's not really an album in the sense everything else is, so I'm abstaining it from my chart. If there was one thing The Beatles weren't so good at it was creating a cohesive body of work - even Sgt. Peppers Feels m..." [+] Reply

"At first, you'll think this is the greatest album ever, but most of the album is decent filler while there are only a few fantastic tracks." Reply
