"Sounds like Zappa mouth raped Trent Reznor, shot a mutated semen load into his belly, and laughed a few weeks later as he watched Mr. NIN shit out this strangely awesome brood. Great album."  Reply

"With 'Incunabula', the Manchester duo Autechre created a distinctive form of postmodern electronic music that was a vast improvement on the standard techno/'chill-out' music of the period. What separates Autechre from the crowd is the carefully calibrated nature of their music which they emphasiz..."  [+]  Reply

"All together the album was pretty average. None of the songs could be called amazing, but also none of them would be considered shit. All together the sound was pretty consistent, which probably made the songs blend together a bit too much with nothing making them unique. This made a lot of the s..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm thinking another reason is that there were 4 mega hits on this album. I understand your point that there is nothing special about these songs, but you can't deny the catchiness of them. There's nothing wrong with straight forward catchy pop songs every now and then."  Reply

"Excellent album by Jellyfish, grew immensely on me just like Spilt Milk did, though obviously not quite as much. The slick production was definitely a put-off at first, but after loving Spilt Milk I started to realize how good the tunes on Bellybutton were underneath. It's weird how much of this ..."  [+]  Reply

"So, El-P - Fantastic Damage. Even though El-P has been one of the pioneers of the experimental/abstract hip hop rise right after the turn of the 21st century, which I am a big fan of, I have the tendency to terribly underrate him (I even called him a poor man's Aesop Rock once). Anyway, if you wa..."  [+]  Reply

"Swan Song of the classic 10 CC line-up, perhaps their best album... After the release of the excellent "The Original Soundtrack" (1975), which became their commercial breakthrough, thanks to the hit Im Not In Love, 10CC naturally wanted to build on the success, and "How Dare You" turned out to be..."  [+]  Reply
