"Criminally underrated album. Some of the best songs in all of Browne's career…"Something Fine", "Rock Me On the Water", "From Silver Lake", etc. are all worthy of 95-100 ratings. There's really not a moment of this record that I don't love, even if the production is a little rough, and it's secon..."  [+]  Reply

"Pop/hip-hop. Buffalo Stance is a tune and a half. Thought it might be a one-hit wonder of an album but the rest of the tracks are also decent. Second favourite track is the final track, So Here I Come."  Reply

"I'll be completely honest, I don't get why this is the top ranked album. So American and Sleep Forever are great tracks, but the whole middle part of the album contains a bunch of little hooky songs that get stuck in my head because of all the wrong reasons. Danger mouse certainly brought the bes..."  [+]  Reply

"Absolute fire album. Consistent quality throughout, the Travis Scott influenced beats and quirky flow from Quavo and Takeoff works brilliantly. The lyrics are not necessarily philosophically deep but this is an album you can just pop on at a party on in the car and just groove to."  Reply

"Another brilliant Frank Sinatra album. Collaborating with Nelson Riddle, Sinatra produces a pleasing easy on the ear recording. Originally an eight track LP, it has now been extended to twelve, still, the original release is lovely. Featuring, I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, a..."  [+]  Reply

"this album removed any and all doubts that nas isnt far superior to jay-z. nas was on the brink of rap purgatory until this album just blew peoples heads off. "one mic" is one of the greatest rap songs of all time. rewind is a crazy display of his raw writing skill while "rule" and "what goes aro..."  [+]  Reply

"Very personal, as evidenced by tracks like "Mother & Father" (possibly the most revealing out of her entire career) - there are also messy tracks like "I'm So Stupid" and "Nobody Knows Me" that spill out self-truths and further contribute to the fact that it's her most personal statement.
