"All-Music generally gives reasonably positive reviews for most albums they cover however this album received a scathing write up claiming it was a pale imitation of TISM, They Might Be Giants and Prince among other things. Yeah I get it there are some juvenile sentiments sprinkled among the track..."  [+]  Reply

"Taken from my forum thread on albums and stuff this is a more complete and overlong review of this great album: This is one of those things which almost seems to good to be true.

"Metric achieve their most consistent and well-put together record since Fantasies in this indie rock album. With engaging and varied material and quite possibly their best lyrical content ever, Art of doubt is sure to get the respect it deserves, given some time. My pick for best album of 2018.

"Robert De Niro (Travis)bought this album for Cybil Shepherd in Scorsese's classic film Taxi Driver. For that alone it deserves it's place in my list. It's a great country album, Kristofferson can certainly write a song just not a great singer. Love the song When I loved her"  Reply

"This album is kinda of my "guilty pleasure" album. Certainly not a "greatest album ever" worthy album, but being a young man I gotta have some love for techno/club music. This is one of my favorite techno albums ever. I don't care if it's "mainstream" or not, it's a good ass album. Get some bass-..."  [+]  Reply

"The greatest single collection of JB, the greatest and most influential R&B artist in history, and the inventor of funk. The only downside is that it came out when CDs didn't sound quite as good as they did a few years later, so there are later less comprehensive compilations with slightly better..."  [+]  Reply
