"Their best since, The Lion's roar. It's growing on me with each listen. When I first heard it I thought it was okay but repeated listens bring out the songs more and more. A good record." Reply
"An amazing album, one of the standout electronica albums of the decade. Clinic dance to their own peculiar beat and Walking With Thee manages to be both futuristic and somehow medieval at the same time. Deviant, spooky as hell and relentlessly rhythmic. They played the title track on Letterman, y..." [+] Reply
"This is Mexican Ska at its best. It contains a themed set of songs about living in the biggest Latinamerican city; the album celebrates the idea of life as a carnival, and as a group of minstrels would do they sing tales of urban heroes from the slums and traditional neighborhoods -- called 'veci..."

"God damn. God DAMN. GOD DAMN. First off, this album just SOUNDS immaculate. Straight analogue recordings with Steve Albini production. The heavily layered guitar drones that Sunn O))) is known for are definitely there, but the DETAILS are incredible! You can hear the movement of their fingers acr..." [+] Reply

"Post-rock? Jazz-fusion? Modern contemporary? Amazing album." Reply
"Apart from the Passionate Friend there aren't many other tracks that would I describe as singles. There are a few good album tracks like Tiny Children, And The Fighting Takes Over, Great Dominions which scrape this album into a 7...just. Julian Cope is one of the voices that I remember from the e..." [+] 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

"It's ok but two things need to be pointed out: -The sound is awful. The quality of this recording is so poor that almost make it unlistenable. There are 30s and 40s recordings that sound better and clearer than this. -The album turns from R&B to hollow beat/pop from #8 onwards. The quality of son..." [+] Reply
"I’d agree with other comments. The songs don’t benefit from this format and it’s all a bit blah. I saw her play live with a band at the start of her career. It was a day festival with Bob Dylan and The Who as the headline acts. Never heard of her until then but remember thinking that she had a fu..." [+] Reply
