"wow, this would've smashed the charts in the 90s and maybe early 2000s. lyrically sophie takes us to the strange mess of her mind, and it's not easy to swallow, to be honest. sometimes it hurts, how true it is and how one can relate. but somehow it's not a fully depressing album, because you hear..."

"Hearts and bones, was a huge commercial disappointment for Paul Simon, and was mainly written during his breakup with Carrie Fisher. Hearts and bones, had a contemporary sound, and contained some of Simon's greatest songs. The title track, is one of these, a beautiful acoustic song, it is one of ..." [+] Reply

"Depeche Mode's debut album is full of throwaway pop with Vince Clarke at the helm. Obviously, just can't get enough, is a classic pop song, the rest is a combination of not bad and forgettable. It's funny listening to some of these songs, I mean, can you imagine Depeche Mode playing, what's your ..." [+] Reply

"This should've been Bloc Party's follow-up to "Silent Alarm". This is a fun, new-wavey at times, almost dance-punkish at times, party album with some serious undertones ("four horsemen of 2012" anyone?), underscored by two dance floor ravers "golden skans" and "gravity's rainbow"." Reply

"Underrated. It's slick, pop-orientated and a great set of songs. A step towards the delicate soundscapes of Tango but retaining some of the raw emotion of Rumours. It has arguably the best harmonies and vocal interplay on any Fleetwood Mac album, which is saying something! I love it. My favourite..." [+] Reply

"While you were busy painting your masterpiece, a five year old sat down with some crayons and made something far more creative and emotional than your work can ever become." Reply

"I'm confused as to what to think of this album. It has a couple of really good moments and then a bunch of really cheesy moments.... It's like, hard to decide." Reply

"My favourite Maiden album since Bruce and Adrian’s return. ‘Paschendale’ is one of the greatest songs they have ever created. ‘No More Lies’, the title track, the underrated ‘Montsegur’, the punchy ‘Wildest Dreams’, the catchy ‘Rainmaker’ are all excellent songs. Some dismiss this album because o..." [+] Reply

"One of my favorite records by Mogwai, and one of the first that introduced me to the band when I was in high school. Incredible soundscapes, both heavy and beautiful. I love closing my eyes and letting this album wash over me. Favorite Tracks: Friend of the Night, Auto Rock, Glasgow Mega-Snake, T..." [+] Reply
