"The Germs perfected the simplicity of hardcore punk though they dont have the agression of band like Black Flag and Minor Threat.

"God willin', is Ray Lamontagne's Americana album. A lovely collection of superb acoustic tracks. Obviously inspired by the Laurel canyon scene of the late sixties/early seventies, it's best cuts include, repo man, new York's killing me, and, this love us over. It was clear though by this time tha..." [+] Reply
"Astonishing, heavy, acid prog masterpiece. I'm on my way is an all time mega rock classic, and the rest of the album comes close to this too." Reply
"If you're going to dismiss the entire genre of oasis-influenced soft rock as trite and appealing only to teen girls, then you're going to probably agree with the low rating of this album. That's not something I can entirely fault you for as there's a lot of crap from this genre and time period th..." [+] Reply

"This is the first CD I ever owned. I'd worked all summer and spent every cent on a hi-fi system that included that new invention, the CD player. It was delivered on Christmas Eve and my brother bought me this album by an artist I'd never heard of. It was played over and over at that point, and ha..." [+] Reply

"Superb debut album from Messrs Geffen and Wilson. Particular favourites are Blackfield, Lullaby, Summer, Cloudy Now and Hello." Reply
"All Songs are great. From the very start 'Becoming A Jackal' sparks. An album filled with dark emotion, mystery and fresh melodies. Absolutely recommended!" Reply

"A breezy, quirky and endearing record from The Magnetic Fields that sounds like some of the best synthpop artists from the previous decade whilst carrying its own distinctive flourishes. Just as synthpop faded completely once the 90s came around, here's why no-one should have dismissed the genre ..." [+] Reply
