"Love & Rockets is made up of all of the former members of Bauhaus except for lead singer Peter Murphy. Generally Daniel Ash took over vocals though David J sings at times. If anyone worried whether they'd still be creative, this album laid those worries to rest. Express is one of the best post pu..." [+] Reply
"Mudhoney somehow gets overlooked when people give credit to 80s alt-rock pioneers. These guys are a tiny step behind the Pixies. This and Superfuzz are their best." Reply

"This album is completely underrated in the VM canon and has some very poorly thought out out ratings here. Go back and listen again, people! Spanish Steps opens the album... leading into The Mystery which can be thought of as Van's mature revisitation of Into the Mystic. Queen of the Slipstream i..." [+] Reply

"I purchased this Masterpiece on its release and everyone thought I was insane, but I'm still here living the dream and still listening to this on the same piece of Vinyl" Reply
"Ok so initially I really loved it - and to be clear, the album is a fantastic voyage - but the novelty factor kind of wore off and I just don't like as much. It's still unique as hell and I can't deny the jazz fusion and songwriting glory that it is." Reply

"Feels like turning the TV over and finding loads of strange channels you never knew you had before. Some are scary and some cause tears. I feel this one has a little more to give. Such a lonely work of the hearts. Take it." Reply
"It may not be as good as Angel Dust, King For A Day, and The Real Thing, but it is still another great addition to the Faith No More CD collection, and FNM returns strong. Best track is Superhero." Reply

"Great album. The minimalist production really matches the straightforward, often stark lyrics. Really quite emotionally affecting at times ('Honey' and 'November Baby' especially touched me, but I found the whole album very sincere and mostly pretty sad). It was something I wasn't really expectin..." [+] Reply
"I don't find the music particularly moving, but it feels very sincere and brave. Rappers don't release a 22 minute album of 2-minute lo-fi indie songs for the radio airplay, to be sure. This feels for the most part to me a sincere message. I don't think that it deserves the surprisingly low ratin..." [+] Reply
