"Literally the best reggae record I've ever heard. Sunny harmonies, beautiful melodies, and stunning songwriting. Heartwarming, really. It just wants to be your friend. Why refuse?"  Reply

"The influence that this record would have on later artists is very clear but the music itself doesn't really hold up. The record feels very bare and not a lot really happens on most of the songs. There is only a couple of tracks that I would pick out and listen to again after this record and most..."  [+]  Reply

"It is a great debut, instrumentally it is fantastic like all Mastodon's work but it does get too repetitive and like the comment below me, it just becomes a monotonous work of growls lyrically."  Reply

"It feels oddly oxymoronic to call "The Symbol Remains" a "return to form" for a band that hadn't released an album anyway in nearly 20 years, but that's exactly what this is for Blue Oyster Cult: a modern take on their classic rock roots without the bloat of the mid-to-late 80s releases, and with..."  [+]  Reply

"Overlong and riddled with meta references and snarky nudge-nudge lines that could only come from a young songwriter, it's actually a pretty decent album, mainly cause the songcraft is overall catchy enough but not quite as conservatively cliqued as most of the endless onslaught of emo albums in t..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a worthy follow-up to "Give the People What They Want" and has mostly excellent cuts. 'State of Confusion' is one of Ray Davies' great, witty openers. 'Definite Maybe' is equally witty in the vein of Kinks late 60s material like 'Party Line.' 'Come Dancing' was understandably a big hit. '..."  [+]  Reply
