"I don't think I've ever seen a larger disparity between the critics' and audiences' reaction to an album as for this one. Everyone seems to be loving the album except the music critics and honestly, this is the victory The Strokes deserved. For a band who were put on the highest pedestal by the c..." [+] Reply

"John Lennon’s most accessible and successful album. Has some wonderful songs on it and it’s well produced. It’s not perfect. The title track is problematic coming from a millionaire but it’s sentiments are honourable and I think genuine. We could have done without the nasty and vitriolic How do y..." [+] Reply

"'Arthur' was originally written for a BBC Television show that was cancelled just as filming was about to commence. It is a concept album that tells the tale of one Arthur Morgan who lives in London in a house called Shangri-La (note: the track "Shangri-La" was actually inspired by visiting Davie..." [+] Reply

"Good news first or bad news..? Well, the bad news ain't so bad, so let's start there... Bad news: "Mambo Sun" and "Planet Queen" are actually the same song - BUT good news: it's a really good song. (Same with "Get It On" and "The Motivator," but that's an even BETTER song.) And just a little more..." [+] Reply

"Highly influential yet somehow under appreciated ‘Entertainment’ was a significant influence on my music tastes coming out in 1979 just as my musical DNA was being formed. The albums fusion of funk, dance music, reggae dub and punk was like nothing we’d heard at the time and combined with its pow..." [+] Reply

"This album right here. Heard it the first time today, thinking previously that Ys was her undisputed masterpiece. Ys sure feels sporadic and magical, but this album is focused, down to earth, human, and felt like much more of a statement. The quality of the album is so consistant, it baffles me h..." [+] Reply

"While Dead Kennedys get lauded for their incisive lyrics (rightfully so) the musicianship and tunes on this album are simple, aggressive, and cutting. Appropriate for the music. For me, they are as influential as the Sex Pistols or the Ramones." Reply

The song writing is the real strength of the record with the lyrics having so much depth and allowing so much room to..." [+] Reply

"While I have to give Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi at least one more listen, I still think that this album is better than both. Future Days (the song) is really sth special. I can't quite explain it, but I've listened to that song about 20 times today" Reply
