"I actually really like this new album just as much as I like the first one, but I think you have to keep listening to it over and over to really understand the potential of the record. This is definitely a new direction for the duo because they are introducing a newer, more innovative side to the..." [+] Reply
"The austere and elegant chamber music of Penguin Cafe Orchestra is steeped in Renaissance and Baroque traditions combining elements of folk and cabaret. Exotic arrangements consisting of delicate and languid laments create feelings of nostalgic longing. This is the ensembles best and most experim..." [+] Reply

"The first cassette tape that I bought myself and still one of my favorites. It takes me back to carefree times of youth. I actually like many of the album tracks as much as the hits, which is what I guess makes a classic album." Reply

"In my opinion this is one of the best albums of the new millenium. It launched John Mayer into superstardom. He's a better guitar player than given credit for and these songs are really catchy. They still hold up 10 years later." Reply

"Sure, this might be a soundtrack to a video game that will likely soon be forgotten, but the music here really is beautiful, coherent, and moving. That being said, the album itself isn't perfect. It starts and ends strong, but every few tracks or so you'll find a throwaway that is flawed by disru..." [+] Reply
