"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
"Acclaimed by critics but strangely unknown to the general public. I think this is a great psychedelic album that deserves to be considered among the best albums of the 60's." 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

"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

"C'mon. There's some classic/great tracks on here (message,Scorpio,it's nasty) but dreamin and you are, are just horrible. Stevie wonder they were not. Singles wise they were up there with the best of the 80s, album wise no." Reply

"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

"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 far the most commercial album of Mike Oldfield. Who cares... i enjoy more and more to listen it." Reply
