"It had been a four and a half year gap between, tunnel of love, and his new release, 2 albums on the same day, human touch, and, lucky town. Maybe Springsteen had been inspired to release two records by guns'n'roses, who had done same thing the year before with their, use your illusion, LP's. The..."  [+]  Reply

"Boxcar Racer's album is a story about a little boy lives at the end of the world. The concept is really good. As for the music the sound is just like a 'darker' and more mature Blink-182. And so are the lyrics. I simply loved it."  Reply

"Sun Ra music is joy, struggle, love, cameraderie, the full human experience. And above all else, freedom itself, infinite and magical. From the very opening notes of "And Otherness", and through the rest of the album and so many dozens of his records, I knew I had found something life-changing bu..."  [+]  Reply

"If all pop music were like this even us middle-aged types would still care what was No.1. Better than 10 hip replacements (which you'd need after dancing to this all night) and as fizzy as a sherbet dip-dab dunked in a can of Coke. I feel like a 12 year old again..."  Reply

"I've never understood why this album is so unpopular. After Made in Japan it's the one I listen to the most. The moments of poppy psychedelia in Mary Long, Woman from Tokyo and our Lady give a glimpse of where Deep Purple might have headed had Gillan & Glover not left. Also, it's a shame that Pai..."  [+]  Reply

"This is just a beautiful David Gray album, cold and stark and meticulous with great piano melodies and quick-hitting lyrics. The glacier on the front is a perhaps representation of the mood of the album."  Reply

"Often referred to as a "coldwave" band because their lead singer and guitarist, Philippe Planchon, sounded like he was about to fall asleep on many of their recordings, this French group actually had some really good songs and a cool (not necessarily "cold") post-punk/wave sound. And to be fair, ..."  [+]  Reply
