"There are a couple of tracks in particular that actually stand out but in general its not that special, her voice is her absolute treasure and lets hope that in the future she is able to work her music better in that sense."  Reply

"To me by far their worst album. Songwriting wasn't as sharp and covers weren't as good. Three good songs (It' Won't Be Long, All I've Got To Do, and All My Loving), but rest are just fillers and b-sides."  Reply

"A minority opinion, but I think Pavement got better with each of their first three albums, culminating with this masterpiece. So much to love here, most notably at the beginning and the end. "Father to a Sister to a Thought" is brilliant too. A very '90s record."  Reply

"For some odd reason, this album is the only record I've heard that not only tries to separate itself between two very different sets of music (almost two different albums really), but does so extremely well. The first half feels like a mix between Licensed to Ill's energy (but mellower) and Paul'..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the great British debut albums of the seventies. Outlandos d'amour is a wonderful new wave/punk record with hints of reggae and rock. It features some of The Police's best songs. Roxanne, is of course superb, one of the great all time singles, along with, so lonely, and, can't stand losing..."  [+]  Reply

"A work of utter genius. This album always seemed to me to be an extremely determined Curtis attempting to prove to the world that he was more than just a great pop songwriter (which he certainly was, and The Impressions are probably my favourite singles band of all-time), but also a Curtis overco..."  [+]  Reply

"WOW, I've always considered by self to be a casual fan of ELO, but never thought that they were amazing, but this was incredible, easily their best album and possibly one of the best albums of the 80s"  Reply

"This album really flies under the radar for most people, and it deserves way more credit than it gets. Musically, it is brilliant with the group combining both their darker side and their more pop centred side. This leads to a fantastic contrast between the songs which is best displayed by Open a..."  [+]  Reply

"I've got to say, this is not a great album, not musically, not lyrically, not innovative, you can say it all sounds the same, but at the end what does it matter. I was 12 years old when this album came out, I couldnt stop listening to it, it was simply the best for me back then. Honestly Linkin P..."  [+]  Reply
