"This was back in the days I used to listen to X-96 at work for a few hours every day. "Circles" was a song they played a few times a day for a while... everyone in the office got real sick of it, except for me, so since I was manning the radio, it got turned up every time it came on." Reply

"Great forgotten album THE CHURCH deserve more praise" Reply
"For me, this is Dream Theater’s most underrated album. In my eyes, it doesn’t carry the title “Dream Theater” by accident. This record is a masterpiece and a statement: this is who we are — Dream Theater! It’s incredibly elaborate in both composition and production — with orchestral and classical..." [+] Reply
"This is exactly what Christian rock needs to be. I tend to get sick of the constant feel-good Christian rock that gets played on the radio. How family-friendly it has to be. It’s like Christian rock has to never show struggle or wavering faith. Everything is happy all the time. Well Tenth Avenue ..." [+] Reply

"Among bands that revolutionized rock and roll, (e.g. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, Nirvana,) Van Halen often gets short shrift. That said, "OU812" (1988, US #1) - although released under the name "Van Halen" - is not the same band that revolutionized rock in 1978. With original vocalist..." [+] Reply

""Resurrection" definitely belongs among the best Divine Comedy albums. The production is clearly better than on the previous Setanta releases Setanta; not least thanks to producer Nigel Godrich who has created a much more modern "Britpop" sound. Unfortunately the album was more an artistic succes..." [+] Reply
"Lyle Lovett makes another record of his trademark mix of jazzy western swing, coffee house ballads, and clever lyrics. Not quite as good as the previous outing but highly enjoyable. Recommended especially for those looking for something that sounds original." Reply

"Good alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 81,2/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Solid album without highs and lows. Best songs are "Ocean spray" and "The year of purification" both 85/100, followed by "Found that soul", "So why so sad", "Let Robeson sing", "Wattsville blues" and..." [+] Reply
