"Varg is a mastermind of this genre. This is arguably one of the best black metal records ever made. It's chaotic, depressing and dark... but also peaceful at the same time, great to relax to."  Reply

"I have the same problem with this albums like I have with Star Wars. It doesn't feel like a real Wilco-album. Both albums feel like some songs from a demo tape. It's a nice compilation of songs that didn't fit on the regular albums. This a not the visonary songs that made Wilco great. It feels li..."  [+]  Reply

"Cat's best album, IMO. The raw production most of the songs makes it hold up well almost 50 years later, I guess the acoustic nature of folk music is generally rather timeless in style. Funny piece of trivia: the name of the album was Cat's name for a certain, uh, masculine part of his body - whi..."  [+]  Reply

"It's barely listenable, the songs have no discernible structures, and each vocal melody sounds like a dog being horribly maimed. I mean, it better be one of the best emo records ever recorded."  Reply

"Roy Orbison has always been one of my favorite artists of the 60's, and this album is one of my three favorites (the other two being "Crying" and "Mystery Girl"). It's easy for anyone to see how Roy became such an icon to so many. He was so inept at his craft of singing and songwriting, that he f..."  [+]  Reply

"After Going deaf for Living, this album was way darker, also because the new input of the keyboards. But their direct statements were much more meaningful and founded the success for the band of John Watts in europe. Side A is an absolute classic.

"Not as good as her debut but a good album nonetheless. The best tracks are the first 2 and the last 2. Be Careful Of My Heart & Subcity are the next best. The only track I would skip is Material World the rest of the album is good."  Reply
