"I'm a huge Elliott Smith fan and I love this record. However, this is certainly not his best work. There are a lot of excellent songs but there is also a bit of filler, which simply doesn't exist on his earlier albums. The sound is bigger and takes away a bit of the intimacy but it works really w..." Reply

"Although I prefer Veckatimest just a marginal fraction more, this - in terms of quality - is every bits equal. It's essentially the same formula except this time around they have an eye for more expressive lyrics and ambient details (an aspect not picked up on first listen). Just when I thought t..." Reply

"My favorite Police album. Some dislike the increased songwriting contribution of Stewart Copeland but I enjoy his songs and here they keep things more punk oriented than if the pop-inclined Sting would have written the entire album. In fact, although "Message in a Bottle" is an undeniably epic so..." Reply

"I think the biggest conundrum here is that it wants to be something grittier and more soulful but it's tailored too much as a hooky pop album, and in the end it just feels a bit too uneven and not always true to what it really wants to be. Some fantastic songs that hit hard like an edgier pop son..." Reply

"I think this is a solid record and minor classic. The Feelies blend Krautrock with some American sensibilities, kicking off the 80's by shaping the Alt Rock that was to come. The vocal performances are lacklustre, which is precisely why they're short in most tracks and the solos do all the talkin..." Reply

"I was never that crazy about Spoon until I heard this album. The great synths and punchy rock songs make this album much different from their previous material. Also, I love the production especially with the drums which sound very crisp. Great energy, very catchy, this is their best album yet in..." Reply

"A double album that as great as Rumours and as fresh and varied as anything coming out at the end of the 1970's while still remaining in that pop sense of sound. The songs "Sara", "Save me a Place", "Over and Over", and all of the Lindseys song contributions are eith..." Reply
