"Bruce Springsteen's second album is a much more jazzier and soul sounding affair, and the songs have begun to take on a more epic stance. Unlike it's predecessor, the wild and the innocent, feels much more like a band album rather than a solo record. It contains at least two Springsteen classics ..." [+] Reply

"This could've been so much better if it wasn't so damn long. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me has the most varied selection of songs in the Cure's discography, but that also means that many tracks don't hold up very well. "Just Like Heaven" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and there are other gr..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic album of immaculate sounding, experimental and yet hooky songs. As others have noted, this is far more similar to other early 70s glam rock than Eno's later ambient work. As someone who far prefers glam rock to ambient music, that's fine with me. In fact, I prefer this album to any of R..." [+] Reply

"I may be in the minority here, but I will not hesitate to state that I believe that Berlin is Reed’s masterpiece. I like Transformer, in fact, Transformer is much easier to dip into when you don’t feel like listening to a full album, but as a whole, Berlin is worlds better than Transformer. The o..." [+] Reply

"BLASPHEMY!!! Sorry, but as much as I love Kate Bush (The Sensual World is #14 on my list of favorites), Little Earthquakes is COMPLETELY original. Obviously, in terms of lyrics, Kate's stuff focuses on simple literature, while Tori focuses on really personal issues. The former can work with a son..." [+] Reply

"This is, by far, the greatest album in brasilian music. It deeply captures a mixture of Samba with many other rythims from all over the world. The richness of instruments used is astonishing, as well as the lyrics are. This album comes along with many others that played an important role in the b..." [+] Reply

"Definitely the most honest of Smith's work. GuitarDan's comment nails this album in a point. Favourite Songs: Needle in the Hay, Alphabet Town, Coming up Roses, Satellite" Reply
