"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

"I love Serge, but I'm surprised this is his second most acclaimed album. While it contains a few of his greatest songs, it's also loaded with silly, goofy throwaway songs that sound very dated compared to what's on his other albums from the era. But if you're looking for the kind of music that Au..." [+] Reply
"Very clever, quality production, often fun to listen to, but in 2013, isn't it time to move past the word "fag"?" Reply

"Just as good if not better than 2012-2017. Fantasy, Penny, and With an Addict are the standouts but there isn't a single bad track on here." Reply

"This is an album that truly should be on any list of albums you must hear before you die. Love it or hate it it is a unique experience that must be heard to be believed. Personally I had a smile on my face (when I wasn't outright laughing out loud) for 30 odd minutes, so I must think of this as a..." [+] Reply

"I disagree with junodog4, because Sum 41, like Blink-182, are better when they're serious! "Chuck" is a great album, way better than anything Sum 41 had done before. The lyrics are very serious and dark here. This is a 2004 album, but I feel like the topics they talk about are more relevant than ..." [+] Reply
"By this point, their solo work had far surpassed what they were doing as a group. Despite that, this is still Grade A hip-hop." Reply

"I do like me some Alt-Country, but not the soppy heartbroken cowboy Alt-Country style ( Ryan Adams ‘Heartbreaker’ excepted, Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch etc) but rather the hard drinking, bar fighting bad boys Alt-Country style and that is why I love Uncle Tupelo and this album in particular This i..."

""Dido's second album contains no less than 4 big radio hits ( "White Flag", "Life For Rent", "Don't Leave Home" and "Sand in My Shoes" ) and at least one or two more are potential hit singles. Dido has a voice than can easily be distinguised from the majority of the female pop-singers of today. (..." [+] Reply
