"As a longtime Liars fan, Mess just sounds like the natural evolution of the band. Following the wonderfully atmospheric WIXIW, they've returned to their more wildly absurdist roots while maintaining their adventure into electronics. It's not perfect, but it's good to see a band who's unafraid to ..."  [+]  Reply

"Strong album, good replay value. Favorite tracks are 'Easy Bake', 'Gumbo', 'The Ways', 'Telegram', 'Vice City', 'Fly On The Wall', & 'Money Trees Deuce'. Only thing I didn't like was the chorus in the track '90059', although I will say that after listening to the album a lot it does eventually so..."  [+]  Reply

"Better than you might originally think, but is definitely not one of Gorillaz' best. Actually, this is arguably their worst (if not, G-sides is) and for a band's worst album, it holds up quite well. Hillbilly Man, The Speak It Mountains, Bobby In Phoenix, and California And The Slipping Of The Su..."  [+]  Reply

"What song was it where Eminem said artists go downhill after the age of 30? He released the solid "eminem show" in 2002, two years after the colossal "marshal mathers lp". While "eminem show" wasn't as huge in content and popularity, the quick-witted and master-of-headworms still seemed on top of..."  [+]  Reply
