"Best Adele album,but still just good. She has a pretty voice and she can definitely sing,but not only does the album get extremely tedious after only a few tracks in,it's not really something interesting in the first place. There are some great songs on here,but everything else is lacking." Reply

"Postcard album from britpop era. Remember well Animal Nitrate, the Drowners and Metal Mickey pumping from the loudspeakers from now long extinct indi/alternative clubs down here in Melb. City of 4 million virtually bereft of anything but top 40 and rnb thesedays." Reply

"I'm surprised this isn't ranked higher. A terrific record where every track is killer, an extreme rarity in the pre-Pet Sounds/Revolver music landscape. Sinnerman is the obvious highlight, a truly incredible and moving epic." Reply

"The more I listen, the more magnificent it becomes. 75/100 is unbelievably low for this record. The Pot, Vicarious, Right in Two, and Jambi are all instant classic Tool songs. But what makes this album great is the duo of Wings Part 1 and 2. I'm a firm believer that 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) is ..." [+] Reply

"Faith No More was formed in 1982, but it took them a long time to get their lineup straight. After going through numerous lead singers (including Courtney Love), they found Mike Patton, who took the band to a completely different level, particularly on the single "Epic" from The Real Thing.
