"Mark Knopfler goes for the epic on Dire straits fourth album. Love over gold, only consists of five songs, but they are all excellent. Telegraph road, is a stunning opening track, and it's followed by the atmospheric, private investigations. Side gives us the enjoyable, industrial disease, the lo..." [+] Reply

"A great album and I think it's quite underrated among the Floyd fans. It's dreamier, more obscure and experimental than the Piper, but it has a special atmosphere on the whole album, I like that so much. Remember a Day is my favourite track from the album." 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 ..."

"I've been listening to this non-stop since it leaked 2 days ago and I think I made up my mind. Some are saying this is their best, but I honestly don't think it tops Sound of Silver; Sound of Silver was their peak and I don't think they'll make something better than that. However, I think it mana..." [+] Reply

"After dipping her toe in the sea of electronica with Bjork's help on her last album, Madonna enlisted William Orbit to helm "Ray Of Light" and it sure paid off. Unlike other madonna albums that sound like singles & filler, this sounds like an "album" -- a thought-out, cohesive idea. And it's pret..." [+] Reply

"While slightly below Nothing Shocking in overall quality this album is almost as perfect! Had Been Caught Stealing been replaced with Kettle Whistle I believe it would have been aabd this would be the best album of all time! That being Said Three Days is the best song ever recorded! Perfection!!!..." [+] Reply

"Most sonically interesting album I've heard in a while. Jazz influence mixed with an experimental dance vibe (IDM if you will). Thom Yorke feature is the cherry on top for me. It has its flaws, main one being that it builds and builds to a climax which sometimes only tends to last less than a min..." [+] Reply

"Peter Gabriel leaves the band, yet the band's sound remains intact. I would argue that this album is softer and perhaps more accessible than Foxtrot and The Lamb, mainly because of Collins' voice (NOT the direction of the band...that would come later). They were just as progressive here as they w..." [+] Reply

"A lot of emotion on this record. Romeo and Juliet and tunnel of Love are just beautiful songs, offset by a no-nonsense rocker in solid Rock. Have to say though...the live versions of most of these songs are better." Reply

"Not bad, huh? The musos and scenesters may well opt for The Marble Index, and Nico may have later disowned it, but Chelsea Girl is a truly stunning LP. The opening triumverate of songs (Fairest Of The Seasons/These Days/Little Sister) are truly sublime - the missing link between the Velvets and N..." [+] Reply
