"Greg Dulli's last album with the Whigs before disbanding them to form The Twilight Singers. This sounds better with each listen, maybe could be ranked better with more listens. "Somethin' Hot' and "Uptown Again" are my favorites on this right now."  Reply

"Ok let's address the Elephant in the room .. and of course I'm referring to Track 6 "Rollin With The Flow" . Holy cow it's an awful cover of an equally awful track and who ever ticked it off for inclusion on this album should slap themselves in the face . Hand's down contender for worst 2018 trac..."  [+]  Reply

The Pink Opaque 
Compilation
"This was the first Cocteau Twins album I heard, so I heard this, not as a greatest hits album but as a studio album...it really changed my idea of what pop/rock could be in the way that "Velvet Underground and Nico" did..When I heard "Spangle Maker", I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I think..."  [+]  Reply

"First album from the second quintet, but I can't argue with a previous comment that they are already at their peak...from which they never dropped in their three years together. While Coltrane was moving to the noisy free jazz of Ayler and Ornette etc, Miles and the quintet were keeping it much m..."  [+]  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

"Better than anything coming out of the US IMO. Grime has got a more legit sound in that it doesn't dress itself up to please a mainstream audience. Skepta does, however, ensure that his art is well dressed enough to please due to great production, killer beats and catchy tunes. I love the mix of ..."  [+]  Reply
