"Nightwish's best and most eclectic release. Sure, it's cheesy in a few places, but that's just par for the course for the genre. Song of Myself is one of the best songs in the symphonic metal genre (and easily a top-5 Nightwish track) if you exclude the lengthy poem coda (I still like that segmen..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is fantastic. Yes, it may be very lo-fi, but the compositions and arrangements are superb. It's neo-progressive/experimental rock at its a absolute best. I can't say enough about this record."  Reply

"This is my all time favourite album. The layers of guitar, the ingenuity of instrumental, the pain of the lyrics and the feeling of the voice are all perfect in my opinion. If you are not willing to give this album 3 or 4 listens, don't bother. You will not like it the first time, however, if you..."  [+]  Reply

"Earlier this week I was blessed with an absolutely crippling case of insomnia and, in my dazed, "can't fucking believe I'm awake at 6am" state, I figured I'd give that darned new Coldplay record a shot. "Ghost Stories" had actually landed pretty nicely on my ears just a few years prior and all, s..."  [+]  Reply

"James Brown's absolute highpoint is hard to pinpoint, as he released such a gigantic amount of records in his golden age, and for that same reason the records themselves were often filled with uninteresting fillers plus unimaginative reruns. To finish off the TV analogy they invented the album eq..."  [+]  Reply

Yes I LOVE Morning Phase and NO I’m not a Beck fan boy , what we have here are 2 vastly different albums back to back and both are great . Is Colors..."  [+]  Reply
