"This is my personal favorite Pearl Jam album. A lot of people can't get past the couple fillery interludes, but the actual songs here are definitely their best work. Every time you listen to it it just gets better. At this point in my life I think Pearl Jam was my favorite band, unfortunately tho..." [+] Reply

"A minority opinion, but I think Pavement got better with each of their first three albums, culminating with this masterpiece. So much to love here, most notably at the beginning and the end. "Father to a Sister to a Thought" is brilliant too. A very '90s record." Reply

"This album is apparently about communication and how talking can solve most problems so lets talk about The Division Bell I recon I come from a neutral place evaluating this album , first and for most I'm a music fan , I think Pink Floyd are ok & neither love nor hate their work . The Division Be..." [+] 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

"Would either ThiagoLucas or SaulCortes like to share with us where they managed to find this album? I was under the impression that it’s not to be released for another two weeks, but considered they’ve both given it such extreme ratings, they must’ve listened to it enough to make an informed deci..."

"The Pogues best album. Shane McGowan is on top form. It's not brilliant, and is a little inconsistent, but at it's best it's fantastic. Some great songs, especially, sick bed of Cuchulain, a pair of Brown eyes, and the utterly amazing, the old main drag, my favourite Pogues song. The Gallipoli in..." [+] Reply

"Another quick review.... Yes, this is perhaps the sexiest and most romantic record ever made. As a single guy who isn't a ladies man by any stretch of the imagination, it can be kinda strange to think how much I empathize with this record. The first half in particular is flawless as far as I'm co..." [+] Reply

"Unlike many, I didn't discover The Shins through the movie Garden State and the song from that movie soundtrack, New Slang (it will 'change your life' and all that). I was initially blown away by their second album Chutes To Narrow which led me on to this other excellent album of theirs. Like Chu..." [+] Reply

"All mod cons, in my opinion, is the best Jam album. All the potential that Paul Weller and co. had shown up to now is finally fulfilled on this great record. Weller is now truly into his stride and his songwriting is now approaching classic status. The cover of the Kinks, David Watts, is a respec..." [+] Reply
