"I like the album overall but its too long for me to really love. If they cut out 3 tracks here this could have been something great." Reply
""December's Children" was a U.S. only album that only in a few cases collided with the European releases, and for this reason the record was / is particularly interesting for Stones collectors. The music is somewhat a mixed bag, consisting of EP tracks and singles. A few numbers were already a ye..." [+] Reply

"Everything Nas does gets unfairly compared to Illmatic. Everyone knows this. It shouldn't impair your enjoyment of what is a truly great album." Reply
"Just discovered these guys when FLOTUS came out. Seems they've been great forever, and How I Quit Smoking may be their best." Reply
"If all teeny-pop was this sharp and sassy, i'd listen to the radio more.
