"If you don't feel the groove then you are, in fact, grooveless. Not sure why our track listing was missing side e & f before... not songs to be missed. Probably one of the only exceptions I have for listening to artist compilations. Everything here is just so nicely wrapped up and smooth. RIP Wil..." [+] Reply

"I think this is her best record. I stopped paying attention after this. One of my guilty pleasures." Reply
"Can get a bit daft lyrically at times, and has some annoying hooks, but overall a very strong album with mostly solid production and good turns from several features - Jay Rock, Raekwon, Kendrick. Blind Threats and Break the Bank are the main standouts for me, the latter should be a strong conten..." [+] Reply
"Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 2005. The winner was Genius Loves Company by Ray Charles & Various Artists" Reply
"Widely referred to as the greatest Grateful Dead concert of All-Time. It is not but it is still an excellent representation of the 1977 Grateful Dead. Probably the tightest the band ever played. Crisp glistening Live recording by Betty Cantor Jackson. This is a stunning Live album worthy of ANY q..." [+] Reply
""Thin Lizzy's last great record is Black Rose" is one of the most incorrect statements ever spoken. This album is top to bottom brilliant, and nearly perfect. Is it as good as Black Rose, Jailbreak, and Bad Reputation? I would put it as a near equal, and I guarantee that, over time, I will put it..." [+] Reply
"Hval tries a more "fun" album following the dark and mesmerising Menneskekollektivet. Though I'm cetainly partial to a bit of Hval, I've followed her for most of her discography, Classic Objects is one of the most listenable projects she's done, maybe even more so than Apocalypse Now and The Long..."

"The electronics may sound slightly lightweight in comparison to Autechre's previous work, but I was completely bowled over by the final two tracks which is exactly when my heart began to swell until the very end of LP5. Complex and intricate as always, this is yet another fine piece of work from ..." [+] Reply
"Alphaville nailed the use of Linn Drum, coupled with really punchy synth bass lines overlaid with catchy synth lead lines. Add to the mix Marian Gold's strong vocal abilities this makes for a very good formula. Particular favourites are Big in Japan, Forever Young and Victory of Love." Reply
