"I'm honestly really surprised Shiina Ringo doesn't have more recognition from this site. A lot of people call her a J-pop artist, although I think pop rock or simply alternative rock are probably more appropriate; that's not all that important and perhaps me (being primarily a fan of rock music) ..."

"Weezer at their silliest. Negative Nancy's will point to a band unwilling to age gracefully or that they have become a satire of themselves. It has enough personality that reminds me of the their first 2 albums. That's refreshing because Make Believe and the Green Album lacked it. Similar to the ..." [+] Reply

"Dark Matter sees Pearl Jam rekindle energy that most fans were starting to doubt they could offer. The band hasn’t sounded this focused since the turn of the century and is their best effort since the greatly under-appreciated Binaural. Dark Matter sounds like what you would expect from a Pearl J..." [+] Reply

"A fun album, by modern standards many could feel this being a tad corn, pretty damn close to a joke. Incredible vocals and music for parties...." Reply

"I don't know if this is breaking any new ground, maybe not but the playing is great and the riffs are really catchy. Gets a bit samey after the first half, but I like this band's sound so much that I didn't mind. Thrash/death metal classic and a great listen. I'd feel bad for anyone who missed bo..." [+] 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

"This album is as funky as it can get! Besides the very cool music, the whole concept of the album is pretty interesting. Tim Maia was well known for his many issues with drugs, alcohol and obesity tempered by his light hearted, easygoing and unreliable but likeable personality. After hitting the ..." [+] Reply
"Jon Hassell cleverly combines his electronic processing of sound with tribal/environmental recordings, giving this album a real sense of strangeness and wonder. Beware! The opening track will make you think your speakers are f*cked. I used to play this album all the time when I was younger and my..." [+] 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
