"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
"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
"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

"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
"atrocious track order, I can't even keep a non-disgusted look off my face trying to imagine hearing it like this.

"Alcest are one of the bands burdened with the unfortunate label of "shoegazing." Of all the stupid genre names, I may hate that one the most, since it describes behavior and not musicality. Alcest is metal. Yes, it's of the more melodic, atmospheric, French variety. But Les Voyages de L'ame is st..." [+] Reply

"An incomprehensible, intimidating exhibition of virtuosity." Reply
"I didn't find this one as powerful as Down with the Sickness. Each song seemed like the last, whereas on DwtS each song stood on it's own legs. That said though, it was still a solid album. Some of the best tracks are the title track and I'm Alive for me. Very good piece of work though. Could hav..." [+] Reply
"Every song sounds like it can be an album closer. Individually, I love the heaviness to each song! But the vocals kinda spoil it for me... just a little. This would sound great with a heavy growl or something..." Reply
