"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

"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

"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

"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
