"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..."

"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.

"I read how one reviewer called this Feist's 'sex & death' album. One thing is for sure - she's not trying to repeat the indie-pop formula that led to '1234'. This is an edgy album; one that sways between soothing and biting. Feist has really evolved as an artist; this is surely one of the best al..." [+] Reply

"This is hard to rate because the guitars are fantastic but that's all there is. I don't mean it like it's not enough but occasionally it feels more like a talent show than an album to me.
