"I feel that some of these tracks reek early 90's as well as having a song like Shake, which was easily the worst song on the album. However songs like Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, Paper Doll, Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine,A Watchers Point of View, Even After I Die and On A Clear Day were som..."  [+]  Reply

"Sound & Fury is obviously a huge shift for Sturgill Simpson. Its sort of a throwback record to 80s rock, but there are some other elements in there too. Good album to play loud. I just found there are only 3-4 songs on the album that are memorable at all. Its a change that doesn't bother me, but ..."  [+]  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

"This is where Megadeth starts to go for more hard rock than pure heavy metal, but they do it with mostly awesome success. Dave was at his vocal peak here as well. Train of consequences, Toute le Monde, and reckoning day are among the bands classic songs. The band began a slow decline after this a..."  [+]  Reply

"Awesome early industrial noise record using found sounds like metal plates and I believe even power tools. Einstürzende Neubauten sets the vibe from the very beginning; very ominous. This album contains lots of yelling, screeching, and tidbits of noise usually layered over a slow drum beat. Its e..."  [+]  Reply

"One of Cornershops strongest, if not the strongest, album. My gripe with it is I do not understand the inclusion of tracks 7,8 and 9 - they seem to be fillers in an album that has 15 tracks - just get rid of those three and you'd have a more consistent album and I'd probably rate it higher than I..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a fantastic noise-pop album. I know it's not grounbraking, but music doesn't have to be groundbraking all the time. The melodies are beautiful, the somewhat heavy instrumentation and the smooth classical keyboards are awesome. Simply awesome musicianship in this debut. Too soon, I know, b..."  [+]  Reply

"Very good solo record. It runs slightly out of steam towards the end but for the most part it's a solid and eclectic album with nods to pop, soul, blues, jazz and rock."  Reply
