"Ayyyyy! I finally GOT it! This album has seemed so dumb for me to me for so long. Dry, repetitive, bland, you name a criticism that has been stated below and I have had that opinion. But after just coming back to it again and again periodically, it finaly clicked, as all good albums do. There is ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is regarded as Joni's 2nd best album. It is all that & more it is hard for me to separate this and my favourite Joni album Hejira but this is also my 2nd best Joni album. It is full of great songs the first 3 tracks being an example of Joni at her best. Overall the album has a jazzy feel to ..."  [+]  Reply

"The most essential record in years. A catalogue of insanely catchy socio-political anthems that tap right into the heart of the struggles and problems modern Britain faces in the most happy-angry way possible. The impact this album is going to have cannot be predicted, but I do have these thought..."  [+]  Reply

"Out of nowhere and right at the end, this album may be my AotY. It's such a detailed, and engrossing album. And the shit is fresh while still being totally reminiscent of the sound of "There's A Riot Going On" or "Dirty Mind" or , vocally, Al Green. And yeah, again, the attention to detail on the..."  [+]  Reply

"It's kind of sad that CRJ has fallen somewhat out of the public eye considering how great of a pop album this is. Catchy beyond belief and something everybody should at least give a try."  Reply

"Ian Curtis killed himself after listening to The Idiot, maybe if he had listened to this one, he'd still be kicking it. Now the Idiot is a good album, but this one just kicks with life, Iggy's on fire and the band are just fanning the flames. Falls apart slightly near the end, but ends with a goo..."  [+]  Reply
