"Other than a few tracks here and there on his other albums, this is the only Wyclef Jean solo work that is worth listening to. Please trust me; I went through a Wyclef Jean phase in high school while others were having their pop punk phases, and I listened to most of his discography. It has not a..."  [+]  Reply

"Out of all the misfit artists in the "great credibility scare," Mary Chapin-Carpenter was by far the most successful. Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett had mild success in the country market after being signed in the mid-80s. But Chapin-Carpenter scored major success, especially with Co..."  [+]  Reply

"I love this live album. Great selection of tracks. Not a bad rendition arrangement of any track for me. "Dead Flowers" sped up here changes the feel of the song, I like the original & this version. "Little Baby", "Let It Bleed", "Angie", "Slipping Away" from Keith. There is a bootleg "Stripped Co..."  [+]  Reply

"I absolutely love a number of the songs on here. Others I'd rather not ever hear again. Though part of Metallica's greatness is taking other bands' work and making it better. They did a lot of good with songs like Am I Evil, Breadfan, Helpless, Crash Course in Brain Surgery, the Wait, and Last Ca..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is humanity on a good day: little ado on variations of stuff, and then at the end they just throw a party with mariachi music and shit. Jim O'Rourke is a genius"  Reply

"Sumo is an icon of argentine rock. This album contains a lot of classics, such as "Rubia Tarada", "Reggae de Paz y Amor" and my favourite, "Mejor No Hablar de Ciertas Cosas" (the influence of Joy Division is clear here and in "Divididos por la Felicidad")."  Reply
