"A breath of fresh air in Rock, an album to keep in mind in 2025 and to listen to more often" Reply
"Her worst album. Lame lyrics, overproduced, imature and noisy. She's just trying to be more and more popular and lost what made her special. Only Getaway Car is good but not great." Reply

"A perfect dance album from the incredible string of 10 five-star LPs that Sinatra made since 1954. In just 6 years. Beginning with "Songs for Young Lovers!" (including Come Fly With Me, Only the Lonely, In The Wee Small Hours, Nice and Easy). An essential part of the history of the great Amerian ..." [+] Reply

"I'll compare it to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. It's probably an album that would have a love/hate relationship with it's listeners, if it were more known about. Fortunately I'm on the love side. This is brilliant." Reply

"A good album contains the massive hits Silly Love Songs & Let 'Em In. The rest of the album is a mixture of Paul McCartney songs where the lead vocal is given to other members of Wings even Linda McCartney has a lead vocal. Denny Laine wrote and sings Time To Hide. Wino Junko is written and sung ..." [+] Reply

"This is the album that began the final phase of Cohen's career, a phase that also includes Dear Heather, Popular Problems, Old Ideas, and You Want it Darker. In my opinion, Ten New Songs is the best of that lot (though You Want it Darker is also a contender). It is also one of Cohen's greatest al..." [+] Reply
"The electronics may sound slightly lightweight in comparison to Autechre's previous work, but I was completely bowled over by the final two tracks which is exactly when my heart began to swell until the very end of LP5. Complex and intricate as always, this is yet another fine piece of work from ..." [+] Reply

"There's an obviously cobbled together feel about this album, but when so much of Jello Biafra's wit and social commentary couldn't find a place on their regular releases, it easily justifies itself as an even wilder and more eclectic ride for a band who were never too fond of convention.
