"Our Lady Peace have released a lot of incredible albums, and it makes it really hard to choose any favourite. Each are concrete, and complete creations. Especially among their older albums, this band has managed to put together tracks that pull one's emotions. Key to this is Raine Maida, and in S..." [+] Reply
"Great lost psychedelic. Beautiful arrangements with string overdubs a la "Forever Changes" and strongly influenced by it. You can clearly hear these influences in "A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall", "Look At The Wind", "Look To The Sun" and "Didn't" among others. In other respects it draws from jaz..." [+] Reply

""Nicely Out of Tune" was Lindisfarne's 1970 debut-album. Lindisfarne's music is catchy folk-inspired music; maybe it could be described as a British version of Lovin' Spoonful's good-time music.

"This is a fantastic record, and I don't really understand how it's the lowest-ranked of ELO's original-run studio albums.

"Fantastic band! Mark Speer is one of the most talented guitarists I've seen in recent years. People Everywhere and Dern Kala are the highlights on this one, and I encourage you to go watch a live performance of them on YouTube, you will not be disappointed." Reply
"Death Grips continues to not disappoint. I have a hard time even picking a least or most favorite track because I think they are all really good. The opener is just so heavy and that scream is wicked. Birds is wonderfully/weirdly abstract even for Death Grips. This is Violence and Feels Like a Wh..." [+] Reply
"One of my all-time favourite albums and I can't understand why others don't think it a classic as well. It's a fusion of pop, reggae, funk, soul, jazz and electronica and despite being 40 years old still sounds fresh and undated. Listen to those first beats/bars of 'Asylums In Jerusalem' and tell..."

"Yes it’s over very quickly, but my God, who could withstand much more adrenaline soaked sonic brutality! The best record ever crafted to whip young men into a bloodthirsty frenzy." Reply
