"The debut album of Australia's modern rock legends. 'The Living End' combines the raw energy of punk rock with head-spinning rockabilly swing and takes the term "power trio" to a new level. Perfect at any volume and under whatever circumstance. All killer and no filler - it is an instan..."  [+]  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

"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

"A sequel just as bonkers and brilliant as the first. Totally ridiculous metal, a kind of hybrid of Iron Maiden and Queen. Great fun songs in, Dr. Stein, rise and fall, and, March of time. Unbelievably catchy."  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

"THIS is the real Fleetwood Mac! The Blues Fletwood Mac, The Peter Green Fleetwood Mac.Thi honestly should be listed as a separate band on this site. It's just different music and different direction. Bless Peter Green's pure soul."  Reply

"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

"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
