"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

"This album is maybe the single most under appreciated albums I can think of ever. Long Fin Kille was an incredible band that diddnt really get the publicity they deserved, they were a little bit too ahead of the Times Music wise, had they came around maybe 4-5 years later they probably would have..."  [+]  Reply

"I don’t know how it’s possible, but this album is both the blandest and the most sincere of Noel’s entire career. There are tracks like Dead To The World that make me cry every time. Easy Now could have been Oasis in the 2000s. Council Skies feels like a plagiarism… of Noel Gallagher’s High Flyin..."  [+]  Reply

"Tim Kasher, singer and eccentric frontman of Cursive, wrote two masterpieces in the course of two years: The Ugly Organ and The Good Life’s Black Out. Both albums display his trademark ironic and self deprecating lyrics. This album is sonically amazing with the addition of Gretta Cohn on cello an..."  [+]  Reply
