"Missing the Symphonic Dances (about 9 of them) that really make this something more, but overall a classic. For me this is a bit more than just a lame musical. Leonard Bernstein!

"Is it a perfect album? By no means. Legendary? Definitely not. But is it by far Kesha's best album and another virtual 180 by an artist? 100% Yes. I don't know what more to ask for from her.

"Fehlfarben is a German band that I have never really appreciated. This album is one of the first records of the post-punk movement. Even though the group does not create memorable music, it is very important in the history of Rock. This album is very often forgotten today while he was very influe..."  [+]  Reply
