"I was a very casual Evanescence fan prior to this release. This album blew me away. This is a real band effort. The songs flow into one another and the execution, production, and muscianship are flawless. The self titled LP is a masterpiece of songcraft. Truly underrated. The album should be a st..." [+] Reply

"Is it weird that I wish every song was twice as long as they are? I could really get lost in every minute of this thing. Zuckerzeit, along with Autobahn, really solidify electronics in pop music early on. Germans really knew what they were doing in the 70s in regards to music, such an innovative ..." [+] 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

"Good first attempt, but only half of the album is what I would call "great." Also, this album is missing both Phil Rudd and Mark Evans, so it isn't quite ACDC yet... Soul Stripper is one of the very few times where Malcolm does some soloing, and, damn, the interplay between the Young brothers on ..." [+] 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

"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

"Original 8 tracks are awesome of course, but what I really love are bonus tracks(which consist of 1 EP and 2 Singles) They're peak of jangle guitar pop. Idk how simple pop songs could be this good. Melodious and beautiful yet touching and emotional. I was born in 90's but this album even makes me..." [+] Reply
