"CONTEXT: Smith's second album is a full realization of his early sound--quiet, haunting, and powerful. MUSIC: Acoustic guitars dominate the record, with a dash of snare drum, electric guitar lines, and organ sprinkled in a few spots. Each song is captivating and well-arranged. LYRICS: Smith asser..."

"This is not heavy metal. As an example of the hard rock/glam metal genre, this is the pinnacle of pop music. People dismiss this album as a mechanised sell-out, but this is a masterpiece. Mutt Lange's production on this LP is technically flawless. Such outstanding work done by him and the enginee..." [+] Reply

"Sure Coltrane is good... but to think that this album of standards is better than A Love Supreme it's just not getting the point. The take on "My Favorite Things" is beautiful, even though some parts of the last round of sax solos are redundant. The take on "Summertime" is powerful... and natural..." [+] Reply

"Blur were after the group's major commercial successes with "Parklife" and "The Great Escape" tired of all the hype and the predicate pop band. Especially guitarist Graham Coxon wanted and needed to explore the possibilities his guitar playing and had a general urge to broaden the scope of Blur's..." [+] Reply

"Little earthquakes, is one of the most spectacular and stunning albums ever. A, blue, for the nineties, every song is a masterpiece. Amos has no qualms about dealing with extremely dark subjects including domestic abuse in, silent all these years, and off course her own terrible rape ordeal in, m..." [+] Reply

"An eccentric, melodic, ethereal, and overall gorgeous pop record. Whereas other dreampop bands like Beach House have achieved an immersive sound through serene synthesized production and sparkling guitars, this album finds its heavenly sound through more organic instrumentation. A lot of the text..." [+] Reply

"I have always rated this album very highly in Bowie's canon, though there've been plenty of demurrals. It was meant to be a straight musical of 1984, but the Orwell estate wouldn't give him the rights to the material - presumably because they predicted Eurythmics ten years hence in the very year ..."

""yeyeyeyeyeyeyeeeyeyeeaah... the creator has a maaasterplaan".. This is so cheesy I can't help but laugh.. But then he starts yodeling and the music gets all frantic and awesome while still basically jumping between two notes. It's pretty great." Reply

"Okay, for those who don’t know the album or didn’t listen to it with a perspective of what was going on in Kanye’s life, this album came in 2008, a year later than Graduation and it featured a major change of direction respect any of his albums that came before. And this is because Kanye was goin..." [+] Reply

"My favourite album by The Cure. It's one of those albums perfect for a dreary rainy day. Feels very minimal as if Smith produced the whole thing in his basement, it all builds up momentum to "A Forest" which is probably their best song. "Play for Today", "In Your House", and "M" are other highlig..." [+] Reply
