"Were it not for the vocals, I can easily imagine this would be amazing, but those vocals are impossible to ignore (luckily enough there are many instrumentals parts, which are all highly enjoyable)." Reply

"Second album from Prince and a step up from "For You". I Wanna Be Your Lover, Bambi, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, With You & I Feel For You are the stand out tracks. The other tracks are all 75/100. I still listen to this album and it always leaves a smile on my face." Reply

Then I looked them up on Wikipedia and the genre that was given was “Alterna..." [+] Reply

"Not the best album ever, but better than a lot of the stuff in this genre that's out there. The lesson I learned from this is that every 1 word Goo Goo Dolls song is better than all the multiple word ones. Bizarre, but true." Reply

"Simple but great album. There's some weird greatness in John Maus. Cop Killer, The Crucifix, Keep Pushing On and Quantum Leap are the top songs for me." Reply

"Great album, AIC returned in fine form, even without Layne. I hope they put out many more albums if this is the kind of thing we can expect." Reply

"Few albums really rock as hard as this bad boy. I was a little turned off at first due to the weird style, and lack of coherent lyrics, but after a second listen I realised that this album pulls off a feat that few albums can achieve; and that's the ability to make me headbang and rock out like a..."

"This is the first album I've listened to by Elza Soares (so far) and I like what I hear. Great voice and I really like the noisy instrumentals on this one. Looking forward to digging deeper!" Reply
