(i guess there are a few drum fills.) Then there's the choice of samples, here theres a bunch of 90s/00s hip hop with 70s/..." [+] Reply

"Something For Kate will be remembered if only for 'Monsters' from this album. But the album has a lot to offer and was one album I listened to constantly after its intial release. My all-time favourite Aus album." Reply

"Album Rating: 78.29 (548/7 - assuming Rope (Away) is one track rated 71 Swans (Birthing - US - May 25) - Birthing 30.05.25 Never the easiest of listens, the first three tracks (the best three tracks) top out at over one hour. Gira claims this is the last "big sound" Swan album, which could see th..." [+] Reply

"An absolutely stunning album from electroacoustic pioneer Iannis Xenakis. Incredibly immersive, and once it's got you hypnotised there's absolutely no escape from its spine-chilling sonic landscapes." Reply

"Steve Miller Band's debut album from 1968 is quite different from their more familiar sound and style on albums like "Brave New World", "Number 5" and later "The Joker". Half of the album is classic blues-rock style - solid but without very much personal character. The rest of the album is more s..." [+] Reply
"I can´t believe this album is so low. The best hardcore that The Offspring could offer. Really underrated. Best tracks: Kick him when he´s down - We are one - Dirty Magic - No Hero - Get it right" Reply
