"Side one starts out with a couple of downtempo, dreamy explorations, but the rest of the album is more energetic and toe-tapping, though of course modal and a bit abstract. Ron Carter is especially good on this album, constantly cooking underneath whatever else is happening. Great album from Mile..." [+] Reply

"This is my favorite "Crowded House" album. They sound darker compared to their other records but the album offers great songs like "Into Temptation" and "Better Be Home Soon" that sound llike a "Beatles"-impression from the 80s." Reply

"My favorite of the group. So funny and creative, full of youthful joy (they were barely in their 20s) and sophisticated at the same time. Hard to believe it was released during one of the harshest moments of a military dictatorship." Reply
"With this album, Bon Jovi proved they were legit and grunge wasn't going to push them into retirement. This is a focused rock record that combines the fun of arena rock with the seriousness of modern rock at the time. It also features some of Richie Sambora's best ever guitar playing. Little Bit ..."

"84 YT are still a safe bet, creative, talented, magical, so many adjectives that can describe them. This new project continues to prove the more "pop" ambition of the artist, its content gains in finishing, becomes more accessible. They also embrace this Post-Punk / Dance-Punk wave that shows thi..." [+] Reply

"If you haven't heard this album, you are really missing out. A pivotal moment in hip hop music and creativity. The production on this is unreal. A forgotten great that is overshadowed by albums like Good Kid Maad City among others." Reply

"One of the best blues albums from the eighties. Mr. Cray's considerable talents are on full display throughout. Check out his solo on "Smoking Gun"." Reply
"This is thee classic Joan Armatrading album, the one that put her on the map. Full of great songs Love & Affection, Save Me, Somebody Who Loves You & Down To Zero being the stand out tracks but all the tracks are 80/100 or better, she would never improve on this collection." Reply

"Perhaps I listened to this album at the most appropriate time - because I was totally affected by the emotional lyrics and delivery of Ms. Williams, as well as the powerful electric and acoustic guitar accompaniment. "World Without Tears" (the complete album) was produced with bare bones instrume..." [+] Reply
