"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 ..."

"You guys moaning about not liking the compilations, saying stuff like you don't like them being removed from their "original albums", well, a lot of those songs weren't even originally on any albums. If you want certain songs, I.e; I feel fine, she loves you, paperback writer, lady Madonna, hey j..." [+] Reply

"Once you get over the fact that this is not a thrash metal album (and, really, why expect that after the Black album?), you should be able to see this is a really solid hard rock album. No, it's not as good as old Metallica, but what is?" Reply

"Masterpiece of soundscape, to say the least. The guitar tone is an art in and of itself. The lyrics are hauntingly deep, even though the delivery comes across somewhat silly at points. The choir on Big Church is so damn good, All around this album is consistent and cohesive, which just makes it e..." [+] Reply

"This album really sounds like an extension of "merriweather post pavilion", and that's the best compliment I think I can attribute to this EP. "what would I want? sky" is as good as any of the best stuff from MPP. "graze" borrows from its song structure starting atmospheric and mesmerizing until ..." [+] Reply

"It was a five year gap between this and their last album, steel wheels, the longest in their career so far. Was it worth the wait? Not really. This is an album lacking ideas and direction. The first two tracks, love is strong and you got me rocking are ok, but they're obviously a desperate attemp..." [+] Reply

"Raye demonstrates a complete and total command of R&B, Soul, Blues, Rap, and EDM. What makes her stand apart from legions of other A-level performers is the way she blends these styles with a deeper understanding of what the music is saying, then combining it with her own original perspective, fu..."

"Second album from the Stranglers, no more heroes, is another superb record. Great sneering and sarcastic songs from Hugh Cornwell and co. I feel like a wog, something better change, and the superb title track are a few of the standouts. The Stranglers were great at this point." Reply
