"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
"Another great record by an often misunderstood and derided songstress. She was moving past pretty music into the realm of experimentation. You have to give her credit for that even is you don't understand what she is doing." 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

"All songs are a real sound experience. My favorites are: State of the Art andSomebody that I Used To Know. In your light and I feel better are the weakest songs on the album, but they are fine too." 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..."

"Certainly not for everyone, but for people who like metal, this is an absolute classic. These are some of the catchiest death metal songs ever written. The riffs are so unique sounding, and the vocals are more high pitched than your typical death metal vocalist, it kind of sounds like a demon is ..." [+] 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

"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
