"Widely acclaimed as one of the best hip hop albums released, this record has influenced a huge number of hip hop artists since it's release in 1988 and set many trends, particularly the structure and patterns of Kool Keith's lyrics which have been unintentionally replicated (sometimes intentional..."

"After 8 months I still can't get enough of this album. I've held off on putting it in my top 10, but I think now it's going there. The album is beautifully melancholy while also being optimistic...the emotions that went into the songwriting on this album is as genuine as the guys in Keane. I've s..." [+] Reply

"If you are CCR dan you will enjoy this, this is the big comeback of John Foggerty after years and years of legal problems with his record label of CCR" Reply
"I fail to see why this album is maligned by so many. This is the missing link between blues and hard rock....and Muddy's rendition of Let's Spend the Night Together is absolutely scorching." Reply

"Hval tries a more "fun" album following the dark and mesmerising Menneskekollektivet. Though I'm cetainly partial to a bit of Hval, I've followed her for most of her discography, Classic Objects is one of the most listenable projects she's done, maybe even more so than Apocalypse Now and The Long..."

"Funnily enough, "Timeless" does feel like it's going on forever, but it is a remarkable record that still feels fresh and smooth. Must be some sort of magnum opus in the D&B genre." Reply
"I used to listen regularly to the Grateful Dead, and I especially liked both "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty", so it was natural to give the predecessor to these two 1970 albums,"Aoxomoxoa", a chance. I was soon obvious that "Aoxomoxoa" was much in the same vein as its two successors, bu..." [+] Reply

"A completely underrated and overlooked album. 9, Damien Rice's follow up to the excellent, O, is every bit as good as that record. It's predominately an acoustic LP but this time Rice adds electric instruments on some tracks and the album has a more challenging sound to it. Some great songs here ..." [+] Reply
"Honestly, I really think this album surpasses Danzig in every way. It is so undeniably good. Danzig has a lot of tracks that can get old at times, but I could listen to this over and over. Highlights include 777, Her Black Wings, and Tired of Being alive for me. Worth a listen, maybe 9." Reply
"If I had to state any positives I have with this album, "Brian Wilson" is very close to being a pretty good song. It starts off decently with just some acoustic guitar and it's pleasant and surprising that it's not immediately terrible. Then they had to ruin it by having like 10 instruments blare..." [+] Reply
