"Unless your name is Marley, your chances of having a well known reggae album in the US are slim and none. Which is too bad, because Culture was one of the best reggae bands you'd ever hear. Two Sevens Clash was born as a vision by singer Joseph Hill, predicting that the date 7/7/77 would be a hol..." [+] Reply

"Paul Simon delivers another excellent record. So beautiful or so what, is Simon still trying different stuff. He uses samples of old blues tracks on a few songs, including the brilliant opener, getting ready for Christmas day. The afterlife, is one of the highlights, about a guy whose just been s..."

"This is an underrated album. It's often considered forgettable, but I think this is a pretty consistent album in terms of the quality of the tracks. The album is very much influenced by reggae-rock with some funk, blues and disco thrown in there. Less rock n' roll than I would've liked, but overa..." [+] Reply

"For some reason I have not given this one the amount of time that I have with most of the other Fall albums. Apart from Rebellious Jukebox and Frightened, nothing immediately stood out. I have since come to appreciate No Xmas For John Quays, Futures And Pasts, Music Scene and the title track, but..." [+] Reply

"A classic soundtrack composed by a master of the genre." Reply
"The jury is still out on this one. There are some real classic tracks like Index, Deform To Form A Star and Raider II, but the question remaining is should Mr Wilson have consolidated this onto a single disc by removing some of the tracks?" Reply
"Certainly deerhunter''s most experimental work. A heap of sonic guitar effects, distorted vocals and lengthy instrumental sections still make this a great listen however. Fans of halcyon digest may find this to be a bit of an adjustment at first, though fans of shoe gaze/ noise rock acts such as ..." [+] Reply

"Critically acclaimed band that has missed the public adoration they deserve. This their debut album is probably most deserving of classic status. It is a mid 90s lo fi quirky indie classic. Very much an album about weekend drug taking and small town fun.The Fuzzy guitars help set the tone. They h..." [+] Reply

"The skeletal beats on show here were a genre being birthed – not actually at the point of genesis, but becoming a style in its own right, and one to be contended with. And there’s no doubting the ground-breaking nature of this record, pioneering rap in popular culture. The only problem is that it..." [+] Reply
