"Whitney was, or at least for me, an artist who excelled on her singles, rather than the albums. That is why this album, which produced so many of her best singles is so good. Track A1 , never my own favourite, was the song that went to to Nº1 number 1 all over the world and helped establish her a..." [+] Reply

"Several things to say about this album. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised to hear Algorithm, The Dark Side or Blockades, which combines their new synthetic sound with the melodic style of their first albums. I'm also okay if they chose to play about experimenting on tracks like Propaga..." [+] Reply
"Oh boy, this one grows on me more after every listen. It really just goes off from start to end. I will say that from Chain On to Bankroll it's not nearly as strong as the rest, and I have weird feelings about windows but I bet I'll like it before too long. Aside from those, Roadrunner is the gro..." [+] Reply

"My comments may of resembled some of the takes here as I ended my first listen of the double album. But, I've learned to not weigh in right away and let the album(s) soak in a little before I rip on artists that are close to me. And glad i waited a bit on this one. I have to say, this one is Wilc..." [+] Reply

"Great album very good for his era. Unfortunately, most of his following records did not had anything more to offer which demonstrates his lack of versatility. Still one of the smoothest rapper of all time. Top 3 tracks: Ain't no half steppin, raw and set it off." Reply
"Cohen is about to turn 80, and I can only say Wow, how can he still be able to write, compose and perform so nice songs at this age. I mean, of course his albums from his 60-70's are probably better, but you can listen to this and just relax while you enjoy the music and his broken voice." Reply
"Big Voice, clear talent for songwriting. A good album. I prefer the blues-ier sounding stuff." Reply
"It's good even if it's not entirely representative of the mood of the show, more like Twin Peaks has been suddenly plunged into a bleak and dark hell bereft of any kind of light. So far, Harold's Theme is my favourite as well as Falling. Overall it's well done even if sometimes it get's a bit camp." Reply

"It's sublime. No other words for it." Reply
"Very solid EP, and pretty different sounding than their debut LP Repeater. I would say compared to Repeater this is a bit more creative, but the vocals are more in your face and overall Repeater is more elegant. I really like both Minor Threat, Rites of Spring and early Fugazi, though I have a ha..." [+] Reply
