"Better than anything coming out of the US IMO. Grime has got a more legit sound in that it doesn't dress itself up to please a mainstream audience. Skepta does, however, ensure that his art is well dressed enough to please due to great production, killer beats and catchy tunes. I love the mix of ..."  [+]  Reply

"110th best album of 1978? A travesty. This is one of the greatest of all post-punk departures, beautifully crafted songs about the breakdown of love delivered with the decadent sneer of a man on the verge of a drug-induced collapse."  Reply

"I love this album. It's really the follow up to his first album with that lo-fi home made feel. What makes this one different and unique in the McCartney catalogue is it's use of synths. The funky opener coming up is followed by the brilliant temporary secretary. This is really Paul experimenting..."  [+]  Reply

"The starting albums of Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV are all not given enough credit, each one bringing a new burst of energy to the band. Tommy Bolin brings a fresh guitar attack, and there's hardly a weak song on the album. Stronger than Who Do We Think We are."  Reply

"I wasn’t sure how the Red Hot Chili Peppers would sound without John Frusciante. I was sad that he left because he’s a great guitarist and I think he brought something very special to the band. When I heard he left I was disappointed and skeptical of their new album. However thankfully, they prov..."  [+]  Reply

"George Harrison's third best behind All Things Must Pass and Brainwashed. This album has some great balladry, excellent melodies and just shows what Harrison was all about."  Reply

"Overstuffed, and there are some real bumps in the road in the tracklisting - ME!, You Need to Calm Down (lyrically), The Man - but this is a super enjoyable pop album. It feels assured and confident, and features some of Swift's best songwriting yet. The production is generally really lush and co..."  [+]  Reply

"Number two album of 1995, right behind. The GZA-Liquid Swords. Great year in music no doubt. This album is almost perfect, and is responsible for the future of metal/metalcore in the late 90's and early 2000's the Bjloer brothers were truly ahead of their time!"  Reply
