"Antony's voice was made for this. His crooning voice paired with Kim Ann Foxman's can really put the sparkle into the disco ball. Blind, You Belong (where Antony is near-breathtaking) and Raise Me Up are the stand out tracks with appropriate songwriting by the mastermind of the project, Andrew Bu..."  [+]  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

"Easy to see why Arcade Fire were inspired by this film while writing the songs for Reflektor. This soundtrack is mesmerizing, perfectly weaving in with the film, an incredible expression of the Greek myth/legend that inspired more operas than any other."  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

"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

"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
