"This album is fire! There is just such an overwhelming conviction and passion and commitment in the vocals and the acoustic guitar playing throughout this classic. Outside of Dylan's early 60s albums, this may be the best protest folk album of the era. And its all so down and dirty and ugly. Comp..."  [+]  Reply

"I like the sound of rave music done well. But rave music needs to be fluid, with a seamless mixing carrying you forward on a journey, unbroken by genre changes without a thread of the rhythmic transcendences driving you forward. There’s nothing wrong with the dance/rave compositions within this a..."  [+]  Reply

"A cult classic, with Milton at his most experimental. Almost completely instrumental (because the lyrics were censored by the deeply corrupt military dictatorship that held Brazil hostage for over 20 years), with influences from native americans sounds and music from the Andes. May be a little ha..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the album that introduced me to Alanis properly. I knew her hits before but they were unlike most of what I discovered on this album, and is a surprise to everyone else I have shown as well. This album is the perfect balance between the electronic and the organic in production, and wonder..."  [+]  Reply

"Here you can listen to the raw hard rock Extremoduro, though the track "So Payaso" is a little more complex, indicating the direction the band was going towards. If you delete a few tracks, the album is enjoyable enough to listen, though litte noteworthy (unlike their later albums)."  Reply
