"This album surpasses shoegaze: it's just one of the best albums of the nineties and the opening trio is amazing although all three the tracks are very different. The positive vibes of this album are just hitting you like a hailstorm."  Reply

"While this is not one of my favorite Sloan albums (as of today, I would rank it 9th out of their 12 albums), "One Chord To Another" is still a really good album. My favorite tracks are "The Lines You Amend" and "400 Meters". Most Sloan's albums have a strong tracklist from beginning to end, but I..."  [+]  Reply

"My only major complaint is that a lot of this album doesn't feel like it explores much new territory for the band, but I can easily forgive them because they pull off their sound so well. Despite that, I will say that this album does have a much darker tone than their previous work, which is defi..."  [+]  Reply

"From The Orb's trips into the ultraworld to daft punk's journeys into space, since this record electronic music was about the aesthetic. A beat and some catchy samples aren't enough, you have to give people a reason to get up and dance all night."  Reply

"After an awesome debut and a two year gap to a still pretty good sophomore effort, we waited another 8 year for... this? Egad, what a letdown. I hate it when people throw the "corporate rock" term at Boston in general, but for this album? Oh, yeah."  Reply

"If there is a musical equivalent of the kitchen sink, then Elvis Costello threw it at this album. Mighty like a rose, is overblown, pretentious, and indulgent, but underneath the orchestration, the trumpets and God knows what else, there are some decent songs. Opener, the other side of summer, is..."  [+]  Reply
