"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 finally understood the purpose of this song; it's a satire of the futility of the blues, of bands that only did that. Pink Floyd, to represent the absence of ideas, put the dog to sing in that style of music, and it works well too."  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

"I'm sure they listened to German New Wave, timtooky, but I am positive they listened to English new wave, ska-punk, and post-punk a whole lot more. The Cure and The Police were among the biggest influences for Argentine bands in the 80s. It is lazy to write this off as a ____ version of ____, esp..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the album where the new modern and more rocking sounds of Los Lobos were introduced. Like the previous album "And a Time to Dance" the album was produced by T Bone Burnett and Steve Berlin, and there are obviously many similarities to that album. You could say that approximately half of ..."  [+]  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. Elsewhe..."  [+]  Reply

"Everybody is back! Loved hearing everybody contributing on this album, Feist, Amy and Emily. Ariel Engle did great live filling in, and on her own songs. Saw them a few days after Gord Downie died and Kevin Drew soldiered on but with a couple of rough patches and a walk off stage, but came back s..."  [+]  Reply
