"The album where the Cult reached the big time, but with some sacrifice to the originality of the sound they had created. The first side is much better than the second and contains the four hits."  Reply

"Another first-rate album from Fuck Buttons, not quite as briliantly booby-trapped as Tarot Sport, but they still know how to create one incendiary experience. More like the soundtrack to particulary intense raver rather than to the dropping of an atomic bomb"  Reply

"A classic album in the style of David Bowie and Roxy Music. The vocals are wonderfully over the top and the songs bring on air of theatricality which is a perfect fit for the style of the songs. Sulk, is a great album which should be more widely known."  Reply

"Probably better than, keep the faith, these days, has again a more mature sound than it's predecessor. The same old Bon Jovi in there's some decent pop songs, and other tracks they try hard to be taken more seriously and although it's all very competent, there's really nothing spectacular here. I..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a nice album if you don't feel like diving headfirst into Madvillainy or DOOM's solo stuff. It's like a gateway drug I guess. Speaking of drugs, it's probably better on them. Not that I'd know."  Reply

"A true favorite of mine. I think Mean Everything To Nothing is Andy Hull at his most consistent and overall powerful as a songwriter so far. I enjoy each of Manchester's albums, some more than others, but this is the most cohesive with the best individual tracks. The River, Shake It Out, I Can Fe..."  [+]  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
