""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

"Eskimo is great if you listen to it as an audio-story. In my opinion is the story of a community of Eskimos who live in the Arctics. Then come the American colonizers, with their machines and their capitalism. After violent brainwashing manipulations (in tracks 4 and 5) eventually the Eskimos are..."  [+]  Reply

"While this is in fact their second album, this is the first (of many) great album by Sloan in my mind. "Smeared" had a few great songs, but I don't think it was as good as a whole as this one. Sloan is an amazing band and the way each song correlates with the others, from one songwriter to anothe..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a really good album with all the songs working really well together. An eclectic mix of songs and influences for the album but it is certainly one of his best."  Reply

"I think too many people listen to music and always expect the lyrics to deliver, while ignoring the actual music itself. This is a band that demands you listen to their melodies, while the lyrics seem to exist just to keep a rhythm. Having said all that, I think these guys are pretty underrated. ..."  [+]  Reply

"In my opinion, this - along with Vai's two albums with David Lee Roth's supergroup - the Van Halen-ish "Eat 'em and Smile" and the very Vai "Skyscraper"- are his best in the popular idiom. Vai's latest release, "The Story of Light," is also very good. "Flexable" is a must-own for "Eat 'em and Smi..."  [+]  Reply

"If you don't like metal this album isn't for you. If you do, it's essential. Personally this is my favorite Slayer album, and one of my favorite thrash albums. So many great riffs, and the drumming is amazing. Production quality is a little low, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it adds to ..."  [+]  Reply
