"20 fucking years. Two decades of American Football's eponymous debut album pioneered the mid-west emo. AF developed a melancholic style backed up by arpeggios and a melodic play with a technicity close to math-rock. The band led by Mike Kinsella exploded in 1999 after this magnificent first recor..."  [+]  Reply

"The Swedish version of The Bends by Radiohead in a way. Just remember to listen to the swedish version of this album even though you don't understand Swedish. Trust me, it sounds so much better."  Reply

"I haven't listened to it for years, and by my fanatism of the innovation of Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral came again in the last time, I was expecting that this record hadn't past the stood of time as many of the records I've heard. Suprisingly I was wrong. In this record Richard Patrick p..."  [+]  Reply

"Enjoyed the entire album! I am not a great reviewer but I know what I like. Shakira is an accomplished artist...if you aren't sure of this album, listen to a few samplings with an open mind. Close your eyes and relax your mind, listen to the music and her voice..take time to enjoy."  Reply

"There are very few living artists who could pull this off, but Cave delivers a collection of his finest songs (and some lesser known ones too) in such a breathtaking way. This album is stunning. Those who are fans will know the backdrop to the album. But if you are unfamiliar with his work, just ..."  [+]  Reply

"The level of energy contained in this album is astounding! This is pure, raw, in your face, I like it! Jeremy Taggart's talent on drums is particularly on display in this album (he was around 18 when they recorded this!). Great album, amazing songs."  Reply

She toured with several singing groups in the 1950s, and on gaining international attention she moved to America ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a near perfect compilation. It serves as a great introduction to the artist and has all his most popular songs. This was the first Tom Petty album I had and I've since become a big fan. If you are looking for a place to learn about Petty, this is the place to start."  Reply
