"My favourite of this year's set of 80s style throwback albums. The modern twist on 80s disco aesthetics is so intoxicating, especially on some of the longer cuts on the regular album and the extended versions on the deluxe edition. The vocals are mixed in pretty much perfectly to flow with the re..." [+] Reply

"Extreme and violent, a bit experimental. The best thing about that album is it doesn't sound forced or silly with its aggression some metal bands tent to do." Reply
"The Comfort Of Madness is THE definitive essential Pale Saints album , the band only released 3 albums and this one is the pick of them easily . On BEA "In Ribbons" is ranked the no 1 PS album and this is down right incorrect , this album is clearly their best Opening 'Way the World Is' kicks thi..." [+] Reply

"Johnny Cash stripped down to his bedrock. His career has just taken off, but he wasn't an icon. He had to deliver quality to stay on top. Did he ever. His tales of heartbreak, love, and paying his dues are highlighted by his sparse baritone voice and simple song arrangement. Country has never bee..." [+] 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

"A few of the songs are jams that can sound a bit unfocused at times and White occasionally sounds like a caricature of himself, but he does it in a way that welcomes reinvention and I love the high energy here. There are some weirder more experimental moments that threw me for a loop and were ver..." [+] Reply

"This album shredded my heart into a million pieces, taped it back together, gave it confidence, and then peed on it. Absolutely incredible roller-coaster of emotion. Instrumentation is superb as well. A couple tracks I could've lived without. But still a crushing blow to the pop-punk scene's emot..." [+] Reply

"This is one of those albums that most people wouldn't know what to do with. It's part broadway musical, part dr. demento -sounding parody, part discombobulated doo-wop-r&b-synth-arena-rock with a lot of interspersed narrative. It's a perverted mess. Sometimes i really like it. Sometimes it just t..." [+] Reply
