"The pressure was on to produce a classic album following the success of The Grand Illusion. While this album doesn't quite reach the heights of TGI, it is still very worthy of a Top 100 position. The second side of the album is filled with one great track after another. The first side is a bit we..." [+] Reply
"Too Far to Care combines alt-country and surf rock in a way that feels loose and spontaneous, with Rhett Miller's lyrics sounding plausibly like they could have been written on the back of a cocktail napkin. But this album is far from sloppy or unfocused. The band, pushed along by Ken Bethea’s go..." [+] Reply

"Although I really enjoy the other albums, I feel more personally attached to this one. It has had more influence than people expected (look at Justice, Gesaffelstein, and the electro punk of M.I.A. and Death Grips), and it was hated basically because they didn’t do what people expected them to do..."

"Unlike anything Ive heard from Noel Before, but thats not a bad thing. After a few listens I found myself really enjoying this new record!" Reply
"The record Dave Grohl referred to as Motorhead doing Sgt Pepper. Much better than Sonic Highways indeed. Most out of left field Foo Fighters album possibly ever. It's very different for them. Huge Beatles vibe to it. I'm actually in love with that aspect of this. This, to me, is probably the reco..." [+] Reply

"Trippy as hell. The first track is one of the absolute trippiest things I've ever had. The whole thing's got a whole disorienting, low-fi quality to it. Very special album. Blew my mind when I first listened to it." Reply

"The starting albums of Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV are all not given enough credit, each one bringing a new burst of energy to the band. Tommy Bolin brings a fresh guitar attack, and there's hardly a weak song on the album. Stronger than Who Do We Think We are." Reply
"It's a decent debut album, obviously it pales in comparison to the later albums, but everybody has to start somewhere! It's got a stone cold pop classic hit single "Talk Talk" and a couple of really good tunes - "Today" & "Mirror Man" which are worthy of a place on a compilation. It's also got so..." [+] Reply
"My favourite Crüe album. It oozes sunset strip sleaze with a musically imperfect band doing their absolute best. It's garage rock/metal with a smattering of punk. Cowbells, razor-like guitar tone, imploring vocals, sparse production. The songs are consistently solid which is rare for the band. I ..." [+] Reply

"Saw this at the top of a music journalist's 2021. Not my usual cup of tea, but it's good for scratching an old school rock, hard rock, itch with a little 90s alternative/grunge seasoning." Reply
