"Clifford Brown was an absolute master of the hard bop trumpet and this is his most articulate release. Max Roach's drums are energetic and expressive and the rest of the ensemble fits perfectly. This is a quintessential jazz album." Reply

Boy George and Culture Club were ultimately a rather short lived phenomenon, but that 18 months or so that they ruled the airwaves was a strong one and this album represents them at the peak of their powers, before overexposure and..."

"Music critics started calling this sort of music "math rock" because they got tired of having to use terms like "angular," "abrasive," "aggressive," "rhythmically complex," "sharp-edged," "start-stop," and "spiky" all the time. Also, I suspect they didn't really like it, so they figured if they a..." [+] Reply

"Mix about two parts stadium-era Simple Minds with one part Big Chair-era Tears for Fears and you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect here. Singer and main songwriter Gustavo Cerati even sounds like the perfect cross between Jim Kerr and Roland Orzabal. It doesn't get much more '1986' than t..." [+] Reply
"Oasis-like 90's indie rock/Britpop - and an album I'm more likely to listen to now that any Oasis album apart from Definitely Maybe...North Country Boy, Tellin' Stories and One To Another are particularly good." Reply
