"After 2 run of the mill 90's alternative grunge albums, Neon Ballroom follows with and attempt to branch out. The album is uneven with melodic pop songs intermixed with rehashed grunge songs. I prefer the direction Silverchair is heading on songs like Emotion Sickness, Steam WIll Rise, Miss You L..."  [+]  Reply

"One of their best albums this has You Are The Government, Give You Nothing, Suffer and Do What You Want some of their most well known songs. It was their 1st comeback after disappearing in the mid 80s and set the tone for the rest of their work."  Reply

"Mary Margaret O'Hara is one of the greatest singer songwriters of all-time. Her masterpiece, Miss America (1988), took four years to materialize but it was worth the wait. O'Hara's quirky voice is an instrument in itself, a super-human fusion of avantgarde techniques (such as those pioneered by M..."  [+]  Reply

"Another great summary and I 100 percent agree with it. I deliberated long and hard whether to include 'Chiastic Slide' or the equally brilliant 'Incunabula' in my chart. I eventually decided on the latter but tomorrow this could change."  Reply

"(Clairo gets in a spacious, calming, introspective groove with this album and sticks the landing. A beautiful, laid-back, Singer/Songwriter album with some cool folk/pop rock, Baroque/Chamber pop elements. The tracklist never veers far from that feeling of contemplative melancholy mixed with opti..."  [+]  Reply

"This is some straight up, no bs, raw emo Rock. 'Jude Law..' Might be the best emo Rock son of all time. There's a constant fisticuffs battle between this album and Tell All Your Friends going on in my head at all times. Honestly, just go listen to the bridge on Seventy Times Seven and try to tell..."  [+]  Reply

"A well underrated record. Music from Big pink and the self titled album quite rightly get the recognition they deserve but, Northern lights-Southern cross, like, Stage fright, is an excellent record. Forbidden fruit, Acadian driftwood, and especially, It makes no difference, are as good as anythi..."  [+]  Reply
