"This along with Albert Hammond Jr.'s albums gives me hope that even if the Strokes eventually splinter apart there will still be good music to be had from them. This is a very good album that is up there in quality with the strokes' work."  Reply

"Solid metal. But, The mixing of this album sounds archaic, thus giving a slightly messy result, plus the guitars are put to the background, they do not really rule. Guitar solos do not convince me."  Reply

"Red Alert and Always Be There had a lovely sound. Bingo Bango reminds me of Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag which is not an awful thing. Feels sweaty. Exciting to dance to. Keeps playing for a very long time. Good stuff indeed."  Reply

"Duran Duran at their darkest best The reason the teeny fans in the 80's did not get this masterpiece is that they wanted another "her name is Rio and she dances on the sand" however if the had listened to the rest of Rio, past the title track and "save a prayer" they would have found some pretty ..."  [+]  Reply

"The previous album was so frustrating, mainly in that it certainly felt quite personal but so musically trite and thin that it couldn't really support the emotional weight of the lyrics. This in turn feels like a much fuller and lush fleshing-out of the previous album's sound, adding in some more..."  [+]  Reply

"With this album the Dixie Chicks made a true masterpiece. This is by far their most consistent and most personal album they have released. Considering how strong their three previous albums are, this really says a lot. Rick Rubin's production is simply perfect for their music. For the first time ..."  [+]  Reply

"Widely canned at the time for venturing boldly into Romanelli territory & not being Days of .. II, Medicine Show is actually a fascinating listen with totally sick guitar leads and a wide open & raucous sound that holds it own.
