"Awesome album but it takes more than a few listens to click. It's a solid debut album but it only hints at how great they would become Best Tracks: Shaking Hell, Inhuman, Confusion Is Next"  Reply

"79/100 "Gigi's Recovery" is clearly a step-up for the Irish band. We perceive a more sophisticated work, richer, more eclectic, more percussive and the whole harmonizes well around a touching concept Key songs: Gigi’s Recovery / Crying"  Reply

Ken 
"Recalling his streamlined synth-driven masterpiece Kaputt, as well as his dreamier guitar work on Trouble in Dreams, Ken is a consistent and concise record with no obvious standouts. Sounding like an amalgamation of his previous records, Ken displays no real musical progression or growth for Dest..."  [+]  Reply

"Very good irish folk rock album. Best 10 songs average is 88,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. It's a special genre of music, I like it anyway. And this album is really strong. Several songs have asian themes, good sound. Best song is "Rain street" 95/100, the only song I've already k..."  [+]  Reply

"SOUNDS LIKE A stressed out drunk Australian slurring his grievances It starts with a noisy 30 second eruption, embraces a brief gasp for breath, and then unloads again. A deep roaring bass and slow smash of the drum kit sets the foundation while the vocals and guitars present an unnerving bit of ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album has good vocals, good music, good arrangements. However, it seems to be lacking a certain something. I have the nagging feeling I should be rating it higher than I do as it's a decent album but it sounds like it has to much of a commercial polish. A slightly rawer touch would of suited..."  [+]  Reply

"takes a little longer to get into than reading writing and the maths, but it's ultimately the better of the two albums. a little more adult. a little less cutesy. musically, more confident. more mature. less snark. more romance."  Reply

""For Certain Because" marked the beginning of probably the most creative period in the career of the Hollies. It was also the album that introduced Tonys Hicks' banjo which is very prominent on the big single hit "Stop Stop Stop". "Butterfly" is often regarded the strongest album by the Hollies. ..."  [+]  Reply
