"Great consistent album for anyone who like simple rock'n'roll" 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
"This is a great sonic continuation of their previous album, excited to see what they do in the future. 11:21 is a highlight for me." Reply

"This is a great album. The production is excellent and the choice of material is great. Joe Jackson is at the top of his form on this record." 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
"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
"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

"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..."
