"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
"While you were busy painting your masterpiece, a five year old sat down with some crayons and made something far more creative and emotional than your work can ever become." Reply

"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

"I don't know, I feel rather displeased by this new GYBE album. The four pieces of this short outfit have been around for a while in their live material, and I'm pretty sure this feels a lot more powerful on stage than in studio, but it's like if they weren't trying to experiment on this one. You ..." [+] Reply

"Who doesn't like symphonic-prog death metal with a Valkyrie-like female singer from the Netherlands? I certainly can't think of anybody, except maybe my Mom, and some of her friends... also, most of my friends... Anyway, it's like they took all the metal subgenres that everyone makes fun of all t..." [+] Reply

"Its been 30 years, time to listen to the music and not the image. 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
