"1981 would mark the peak of arena rock -- corporate rock to the critic class. Between them, Hi Infidelity, Foreigner 4, Styx's Paradise Theater, and Journey's Escape sold approximately 30 million units. This November 1980 release kicked things off with a mix of power balladry and hard rock with p..."  [+]  Reply

"This album seemed to come from nowhere and was pivotal to the whole early 90's alternative movement. It is one of my favorite albums and is solid all the way through. It is a mix of soft and catchy tunes with hooks and sideline diversions."  Reply

"The lightning quick follow up to their self titled debut album, Kinda kinks, picks up where that record left off. The LP features ten originals and two poor cover versions(naggin' woman, and, dancing in the street). Of the self penned tracks best are the acoustic, nothin' in the world, and classi..."  [+]  Reply

"The Satanist is in a league of it's blackened death metal own. Very dark, very powerful, very Behemoth. Conceptually, it will not go down as my favorite album. Knowing that Nergal plays the part almost to a T (is he really a "satanist"? I suspect, yes, and I won't debate that with others), it doe..."  [+]  Reply

"Seriously kicks ass not gonna lie. Very exciting return. Singles were great but man couple of those deep cuts are even better. Highly recommend playing it loud to fully experience the awesomeness of the sick AF killer beats. Oof! I'm being ridiculous because I'm excited plus it's just really good..."  [+]  Reply

"This album may be Brockhampton's most focused album to date but that doesn't make it their best or even good necessarily. Like on previous projects different members stick out in different ways than they have before. In my opinion, Bearface and Kevin continue to be the best to feature vocals in t..."  [+]  Reply

"After the disappointing Cyclone album (in comparison to previous work) Tangerine Dream pulled out all the stops with this album, thankfully losing the vocals. I have a near mint copy on vinyl and it sounds superb on a decent audio system. I hear things on the vinyl I don't hear on my CD version. ..."  [+]  Reply

"After the two out-of-nowhere supernovas that were his first two (brief) albums, he settles down here for a slightly more relaxed, somber record- but still just as witty and never with a wasted moment. The sunday-morning hangover record is probably the best way to describe it, or perhaps coming ho..."  [+]  Reply

"T&C is simply a massive album from start to finish blending rock, punk, folk/Celtic, etc in one beautiful collection of songs (long before it was "cool"). Never one to shy away from their convictions and difficult/current topics, T&C excels at story telling, driving emotions and getting your feet..."  [+]  Reply
