"Midnight Oil are underrated as heck. Third favorite album of theirs. Becoming one of my favorite 80s bands for sure. Catchy, quite unique and fun as heck. His vocals and their style are addictive to my brain. One of those rare artists that impressed me right off the bat when I finally listened to..." [+] Reply

"One of only a few soundtracks where the music is integral to building the suspense in the film. It’s a masterpiece of film score design" Reply

"I bought this on cassette when it came out and was hooked. I listened to it several times in a row without stopping and haven't stopped listening to it for 20 years. In the span of albums from "Box" through "Under the Stars," Robert Pollard draws inspiration from the entire history of rock after ..." [+] Reply
"Never heard of this guy or album until I read about it in the forums on this site. That is a travesty. This is a fantastic blues album." Reply
"If you're expecting another Return to Cookie Mountain (or even a Dear Science), you'll be disappointed with this. But this album is fantastic in its own right - much more immediate and with tons of hooks. I'd almost call this alternative R&B over indie rock. Not to say it's completely hook-driven..." [+] Reply

"The debut album by The Replacements is a rip roaring punk rock record that fizzes by in a flash. Sorry Ma, is a superb record full of energy and hunger. Some tracks, or at least moments sound uncannily like The Clash or the Sex Pistols, but at the end of the day it's still the Replacements. Thril..." [+] Reply

"Pretty good album. Falls off a bit towards the end. Could’ve benefited from being trimmed to 15 or 16 songs. Overall respectable alternative metal album. Don’t let Manson’s persona scare you away. This is nearly as good as Antichrist Superstar Love Song, Fight Song, Disposable Teens, Target Audie..." [+] Reply

"Good Times is a legendary and highly influential song, worthy of a mini-doc of its own. Following the lead single is a collection of consistently good songs. None come close to the initial peak, but offer organic and tight grooves that vary from yearning slow jams to slick mid-tempo dance numbers." Reply
