"This is a near perfect compilation. It serves as a great introduction to the artist and has all his most popular songs. This was the first Tom Petty album I had and I've since become a big fan. If you are looking for a place to learn about Petty, this is the place to start."  Reply

"A bit of a departure from their first two albums, The Back Room and An End Has A Start, to a more electronic sound. And it didn't really work for me. Although I do like Bricks And Mortar - great song."  Reply

"I love Serge, but I'm surprised this is his second most acclaimed album. While it contains a few of his greatest songs, it's also loaded with silly, goofy throwaway songs that sound very dated compared to what's on his other albums from the era. But if you're looking for the kind of music that Au..."  [+]  Reply

"70-80/100 (Really solid dance punk album. Has some killer tracks to dance to and some that may make you feel very sad - whilst still dancing - and sadly some songs/interlude tracks that seem a bit pointless.) This was actually a very, very sad listen. I feel like this is an incredibly desperate, ..."  [+]  Reply

"The first time I listened to Strange Trails back in 2015, I could have sworn I'd heard every song on it before, and even felt like I could have sung along. That's how immediately agreeable this indie folk album is. Sometimes an album that's so familiar has a tendency to lose its appeal quickly, s..."  [+]  Reply

United States Low
"One of the most overlooked Low albums, perhaps their best non 90's album. Its more or less a continuation of the style of Things we Lost in the Fire, but pushing in both more atmospheric, and rock-ish directions. We get catchy pop tracks (Canada), surprisingly anthemic moments (In the Drugs), the..."  [+]  Reply

"A real cool album with an amazing vibe all throughout. I don't speak Russian so I can't understand the lyrics but I really like the music. A recommendation for everyone who is a fan of that unique sound of the 80s."  Reply
