"This album shredded my heart into a million pieces, taped it back together, gave it confidence, and then peed on it. Absolutely incredible roller-coaster of emotion. Instrumentation is superb as well. A couple tracks I could've lived without. But still a crushing blow to the pop-punk scene's emot..."  [+]  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

"Layered, intelligent, moving, and textured, this album is not just one of the better albums of the 90's, but of all time. Every track on this gem is solid and wonderful, but if you're short on time, give "Afternoon With the Axolotls" a listen. You won't be sorry."  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

"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

"This album has too many songs and distract the listener from the real good songs. Its a good record, but not as great as her previous one. In my opinion the album should be like this: 1. Aura 2. Venus 3. G.U.Y 4. Sex Dreams 5. MANiCURE 6. Do What You Want (Ft Xtina Aguilera Version) 7. Artpop 8. ..."  [+]  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

"Lou Reed is a brilliant storyteller. With his graphic depiction of what happens to the characters, you are immediately drawn in. You feel anger, sadness, disgust, helplessness and also dark humour as if you are living it. Lou is simply amazing. The music supports the tale, as it did in Songs for ..."  [+]  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
