"This is a very 80s-ish album but it still manages to refrain from being cheesy. Avalanche and Shut Up And Dance are two of my favorite songs ever. I highly recommend this album!" Reply
"This is some of the most creative hip-hop I've ever heard. Really awesome instrumentals creating a wall of sound type backing along with often abrasive drums and really cool bars and sampling makes for an unnerving experience and I can't help but love it. The last two tracks are amazing and reall..." [+] Reply
"It's hard to believe that this is the same band that produced The Bedlam in Goliath. Bedlam was painful to suffer through. This album is exquisite!" Reply

"Sadly, what was once a groundbreaking group has been left behind. Hip-hop grew, thanks in large part to TCQ's contributions, but they stayed the same. Decent album, but unremarkable." Reply

"Super Underrated Album. Songs like "Kino", "Nur Geträumt", & "Satellitenstadt" deserve just as much love as "99 Luftballons". 5 Stars." Reply
"The fact that The Avalanche is a collection of outtakes and B-sides from Illinois--and that it's this good--lends some perspective on how good an album Illinois is. At the time he was writing and recording all this music, Sufjan Stevens must have been on one of those creative highs that one exper..." [+] Reply

"First album of brand new material from Elvis for eight years. Leading up to the release of the album talk has been about the record being a meeting of, Imperial bedroom, and, Painted from memory, and I can see that but it's the latter it's closer too for me. Opener, Under lime, is great and sets ..." [+] Reply
"I think the first two tracks on this album perfectly sum the rest up; “Serious” and “Funny”. The best comparison for Scars on Broadway is System of a Down, which figures seeing as 2/5ths of the bands make up come straight from System. That’s not to say they are identical, the liberal politics and..." [+] Reply

"This is a personal favorite of mine. It was the soundtrack of 6th and 7th grade for me. Such great tunes and such uplifting messages that still hit me today." Reply
