"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

"Pure excitement with lots of great, great songs. The album is much more then radio friendly dance pop. This thing got a shining world of music in it. But it's just too bad that apparently it's the only album of the band that I can really listen." 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

"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
"Not as good as the albums before and after. They just don't sound all that inspired here, although "Monochrome" is a lovely way to wrap things up." Reply
"Nobody was more surprised about the success of this album than Asylum Records..this compilation is taken from their first 4 albums..their first three albums didn't sell that well.."One of the Nights" was their 4th and biggest seller up to that point..So to have a greatest hits that is now the big..."

"Randomly picked this up on vinyl and it's great. I had Rod written off as one good album after the Faces, Every Picture Tells a Story which is great as well but I think this is better. I always knew the song "Sailing" but was surprised to find that's not even the best song on here. Love the diffe..." [+] Reply

"I had never heard of this person until I reviewed their record (similarly to Earl Sweatshirt), and I was not too pleased with this mixtape. I hate when she has a good or great thing going that just fades away into the realm of conversations that I genuinely don't need to hear, and odd electronic ..." [+] Reply

"Bjork of course is always interesting and a new album is always much anticipated. But I have the same problem with "Fossora" that I had with "Utopia", the lack of memorable melodies.
