"Arguably the best metal album released in the past 25 years. It can be quite impenetrable to some though with how nuts it is at times which is understandable. It's quite all over the place and yet somehow still manages to flow like the ocean in it's notion to play out as a single, carefully calcu..." [+] Reply
"Understandably overshadowed by what would come later from the Mk II version of the band. However, this is a very solid debut album that the Mk I version of the band would never be able to top. Hush, Mandrake Root, Help!, and Hey Joe are all great." Reply

"It's solid. I wouldn't call it refreshing, and suffers from being overlong. I could've done without Run The World, I'll admit." 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

"This anticipates the return to form that was Backspacer. There are a handful of very worthwhile tracks on this including the understated, underrated Come Back and the very lovely Marker in the Sand." 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

"BOCs first album was unlike anything that had come before, and well demonstrated the dark wit and musicianship these guys had to offer. The sound is raw and low-tech, but that works well with their songs and presentation. One of the great debut albums in rock history." Reply

"this website is frustrating lol. Too many hipsters and boomers and not enough cultured individuals. If you like jazz-funk-soul then disregard this album's rating and go listen to it NOW. If you're a Radiohead or Kanye West fan, go ahead and leave without leaving a rating. Thanks." Reply

"Two years after disbanding Pavement, Stephen Malkmus was back, releasing his solo debut. The quality isn't any dropoff from Pavement either, and it sounds like he's got his creative juices flowing, moreso than on the last couple Pavement releases. Check out the lead track "Black Book" and my favo..." [+] Reply
