This album was written back when he was known as Matthew Good Band, and is probably their best album until the band broke up in 2001. From start to finish, this album is a knockout, starting with the smash hit openers Giant, Hello Time Bomb, Strange Days, the album then leads into I Miss New Wave, a great slow song, Load Me Up another smash hit appears next, then Failing the Rorschach Test, an excellent song! Suburbia, a very slow paced and very moving song, Lets Get It On, another great unfamiliar track, Jenni's Song, great lyrics great track. Going All The Way, sets to mood a bit lighter. Then, A Boy and His Machine Gun, a song not to be overlooked. Another smash hit The Future is X-Rated appears, followed by the final two tracks, Born to Kill, another very slow paced track, and Running for Home, a stunning piano piece and great album closer...and that is why it makes this album the best Matthew Good Band Album "[+]Reply

The rapper from Detroit, but now based in Brooklyn, is not basically wrong. Despite a series of frankly successful albums (the excellent "Being You Is Great ..." in 2017, "Everything's Fine" with his fiancée Jean Grae last year), the name Quelle What is still largely unknown, in outside the initiates. Neither really "classic" nor trendy, his approach of the medium rap yet makes sparks again on "Guns". As its title suggests, this new album focuses more specifically on the issue of weapons in the United States. On the damage it causes - "Sunday Mass", for example, listing a series of recent mass killings ("Devin Kelley blasted off in the Baptist church / Motivation unknown, but his shot was straight "). Or about the repercussions they may have on the African-American community, whether it is the target ("Color of the Day"), or whether the violence is against them ("Who's next?" sister, you? / Hey kids, get rid of your guns before it's too late "on "Box of Wheaties"). Without ever falling into the preaching, but sliding on the contrary an ironic humor ("Straight Shot"), on productions as eclectic as exciting, reminiscent of both Wu-Tang and Native Tongues. A frank success, one more. Sincerely, the lyrics and jazz productions of this album are surely some of Chris' best, yes, I think "Guns" is the best album of Quelle Chris.

"A great album all the way around from an underrated band. This album perfectly straddles the line between their next two albums, Dance or Die and III.

This album perfectly straddles the line between their next two albums, Dance or Die and III. Love Addict is what originally drew me in, but (among a banger set of tracks) is almost an afterthought among many other tracks I have come to adore, including those off of the deluxe version that aren't included here. If you want a "secular" feeling Christian album, this is a great option. "[+]Reply

"Primal Scream make a wrong turn into blues rock territory, but they still manage to fashion a good album out of it. Although it has to be said, compared to the rest of their work in the 90s it is a bit of a let-down.

Somewhere else in the universe - exactly where I do not know - there is a planet and civilization not unlike our own. They’re busy with jobs and making ends meet mostly. But they are also vastly curious about life and various philosophical questions. Chiefly, they ponder whether they are all alone is this vast universe. Whether the entire universe exists just for them.
So just like us, they also built a space program. But this being science fiction and all, there’s is a bit more advanced than ours. And they built and coded this amazing android. It is capable of learning how to create any and all languages, dialects & tongues. Given enough time it would be able to communicate with any creature in the entire world. No matter how big or small. How complex or simple. Insects, humanoids, birds, amoebas, you name it. Essentially, if a life form, or even another droid, can communicate, this droid will learn how to communicate with it. The people on this planet - let’s call them Clusterferians just for fun - were naturally quite proud of their creation. And they built a moderate sized space vessel such that their droid could comb the universe looking for any sign of life to communicate with. And then report back to them.
To give the mission the best chance of success, the Clusterferians something new. Something they had never encoded into a robot before. A strong message that this mission was critical. Vital. In a word they gave it Desire.
Time passes. Millions of years. The droid performs its tasks and tries to carry out its mission. Sending out signals. And waiting for a response. Sending out more signals. Trying to communicate. To connect. To anything. It creates endless variations of sounds. But nothing ever comes back. Just the vast emptiness of space. And him.
And then the unthinkable happens. The unimaginable. He develops feelings. After eons and eons of trying and trying and trying to fulfill its mission with that strong desire encoded in him, he starts to grow sad. This desire to connect to something, ANYTHING, overwhelms him. The years of sending and sending, trying and trying and getting nothing back in return changes him. He becomes what we would call depressed. He preservers on with his mission of course. He’s a robot after all. But a shade of loneliness, of mourning now pervades the sounds he creates. A lament. The lament of being lonely. Of being human.
Grade A+: Cluster makes sounds better than anyone. Eno enhances sounds better than anyone. So together this is a dream team. And they amply fulfill the promise such a collaboration would suggest. This is one of the greatest dark ambient albums of all time. Considering its pedigree, I’m quite surprised it’s bit undiscovered. Don’t let it stay lonely anymore! Seek out and connect with this major ambient gem. There’s a lonely robot just waiting to hear from you. And this LP hurdles through space all the way to number 11. "[+]Reply
