"Update: a man with a top hat and a cane has showed up in my room. He is offering me money, fame, and all the women in the world. All I have to give him in return is my soul. It's a shame this album already took it." Reply

"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

"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.

"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

"Another great Stevie Wonder album. Talking book, is the second in that run of five, maybe six, glorious albums, and is another special record. Some great funky tracks in, superstition, maybe your baby, and, Tuesday heartbreak, as well as beautiful songs in, blame it on the sun, and, I believe. My..." [+] 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

"This album's nervous energy, danceable beats, and disjointed song structures would become important strands in the DNA of subsequent indie rock. Young bands are still finding fertile ground in the influence of this album." Reply

And this is because Kanye was goin..." [+] Reply
