"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

"It feels almost like a pop album, with its catchy melodies, variable production, and the occasional cringy moment. I don't feel that its as artistically significant as their debut or Meliora, but its so fun it'll probably be the album of theirs I play the most. Best Track: Miasma" Reply
"In which the girls, who had been silent in rock for years, get their grunge on. Their 3rd album, Bricks Are Heavy rode the wave of Nirvana with the single "Pretend We're Dead" to stardom. These aren't girls you'd necessarily want to date...they are deadpan and scathing, giving pretty much everyon..." [+] Reply

"On Electr-O-Pura, Yo La Tengo produce what I consider their most consistent and cohesive album to date. Nowhere near as sprawling as their upcoming albums, Electr-O-Pura is a strong and focused alternative rock album unparalleled by many other bands. With highlights too numerous to list, I will i..."

"an absolutely breathtaking collection of b-sides. God only knows why they didnt release this is an actual full-length album as the majority of the music on this record is just as good if not better than any classic pumpkins a-sides. The opener "soothe" is possibly the most beautiful piece of musi..." [+] 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

"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

"40footwolf summed it up pretty well. It's kind of like a heavy metal band listened to a Brian Eno album and went "well this is fucking boring, I bet we can liven this up a bit." and so they did and 'twas good." 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
