"Of course it's no Remain In Light or Fear of Music, but it's certainly a good deal better than Little Creatures or True Stories. Doesn't deserve to be the lowest rated Talking Heads album here." Reply

"Powderfinger's 'Internationalist' is a tale of 2 sides Side A is all but perfect that crackles with energy and fizz with tracks such as "Hindley Street" , "Belter" "Passenger" and "Don't Wanna Be Left Out" Flip the record and it's as if the energy has been sucked out and feel's languid in part's ..."

"Such a fun album the year it was released. I fell in love with Edie and the New Bohemian sound. It was simple, yet some of the songs off kilter and a touch sad. It was something different at the time, and when I saw them in Toronto's Massey Hall, I threw my flip-up sunglasses up to Edie and she p..." [+] Reply
"Dinosaur Jr. were doing the alternative rock thing way back in the 80s, before the Seattle grunge scene exploded. Guitarist/singer J Mascis is widely credited with re-introducing the guitar solo to indie rock, and there's plenty of nice hooks (and solos!) on Farm. I don't know if it's because it ..." [+] Reply

"More like, surrealistic pillow, after the psychedelic experimentation of, Baxters, it's probably the last great Jefferson Airplane album. Some great tracks, lather, the title track and David Crosby's, triad. Airplane, epitomized that Californian sixties hippy thing that it was never going to work..." [+] Reply

"I read an iTunes review of this album where someone complained that Leonard Cohen was so old he was just talking through his songs now. What they must not have realized is that Cohen has always done that. In his younger days he sang a little bit, but since the late 70s, he basically talk-sings hi..." [+] Reply

"It took several listens to come to this conclusion, but this is Of Montreal's second-best album, after "Hissing Fauna". The hyperpersonal freak-out era is over and the band is making accessible music again, albeit with their own perverse sensibilities and a dash of '60s jangle pop." Reply
"Un Poco Loco is a real standout track on this album. My first impression is that the rest is less interesting, at least compared to his adventurous peer, Thelonious Monk." Reply
"Mariah Carey love her or hate her has an amazing multi faceted voice. She has made 4 really good albums this being my 2nd favourite, Music Box was a huge album all over Europe and is still her biggest selling album. The tracks here are all good Dream Lover & Any Time You Need a friend stand out A..." [+] Reply

"Where has this been all my life? This is an album that is worth it for the first track alone. “Bloodletting” is a bluesy voodoo groove that sets the tone for this album perfectly. The sinister groove within this song makes its way through the remainder of the album, coloring everything in its den..." [+] Reply
