"I think the basement jaxx invented the house/club/IDM album replete with guest appearances and made it work like nobody before them. On royksopp's melody a.m. debut, they were at the opposite end of the spectrum, self-styling a textured electro-ambient rich in ideas but with not much energy. In 2..." [+] Reply

"I am referring to the single disc version here. Marillion managed to hit the jackpot with the collection of songs. Briliant start and end tracks filled with wonderful shorter tracks. This is the last of the Marillion classics" Reply
"One of the best albums of the decade. It soars in the typical style of Suede, and it's great to be hearing them in top form even after all these years." Reply
"This was the second album from Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps. It was released in 1957, four months after its predecessor, “Bluejean Bop”. Five tracks are originals written by Vincent and guitarist Cliff Gallup and Tex Davis. These are pretty typical early Vincent rockers, with “Red Blue Jeans an..." [+] Reply
"Criminally underrated. At the time it was released it was bombarded with negative reviews because of it's string and horn parts. Listening to this now, I can't picture this album without them. It's gorgeous in it's execution and is probably The Church's masterpiece!" Reply
"Disappointing and an album I’ll never listen to ever again, F ing In The Bush’s and Go Let It Out are ok the rest of the album is lame. This was where Oasis lost me as I knew they were to never return to the glory of their first 2 albums . I think even Oasis knew at this point it was the beginnin..." [+] Reply

"Why he didn't release this sooner will always be a mystery to me. It's kind of a masterpiece. Separate Ways, the title track, and White Line are great. Florida is fine, but it sticks out like a sore thumb on an album like this." Reply

"It's actually recorded (at her home) in the early seventies. It took a dinosaur to save this one from extinction." Reply
"An interesting contrast to The Hold Steady's "Heaven is Whenever" which is also heavily influenced by early Bruce Springsteen. Very enjoyable and one of the better albums of 2010 but I don't think they are in the same league as the E Street Band when they were in their prime. Maybe if they had a ..." [+] Reply
