"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..."

"Holy shit. I didn't think anything would possibly beat Ants From Up There as my AOTY and now I find myself faced with an incredibly difficult decision. Right now, I genuinely think this might be the best album of the decade. At first I thought this album had lows, but after a few listens I realis..." [+] Reply

"I actually think, chairs missing, is a better record than, pink flag. It really sounds more fully formed than the previous record. Don't get me wrong, I love, pink flag, but this one has more focus and better songs. Genius stuff." Reply

"Among the greatest Metal/Thrash albums ever recorded. For me, Black Sabbath Black Sabbath, Metallica Ride the Lightning, Metallica Master Of Puppets, Metallica ...And Justice For All, Pantera Vulgar display of Power. A great change from Metallica's Black Album, at the time. Crazy concert too. '94..." [+] Reply

"Until 1992, I thought there would never be another rock album that would blow me away like Moving Pictures did in 1981. DT came out and absolutely rocked my world. This album was an absolute musical revelation, with complex composition, incredible musicianship, refreshing songwriting, and outstan..." [+] Reply

"Definitely Nick Cave's best album. Chock full of brilliant songs. Somewhat inconsistent as most double albums are - would have made a killer single album. Here's my imaginary track-listing: 1) Nature Boy 2) There She Goes 3) Abattoir Blues 4) Let the Bells Ring 5) Messiah Ward 6) Breathless 7) Ea..." [+] Reply

"Can't decide if I prefer this or The Colour And The Shape. The standout songs on The Colour And The Shape are better than those on Wasting Light, but Wasting Light is more consistent." Reply

""A Ghost is Born" is an album that gives as little as it can to new listeners. The contrast dynamics, the slow building guitar hums and distorted fuzz, the muted vocals all serve to alienate any casual listener right off the bat in a way that could leave a bad taste in your mouth. This experience..." [+] Reply
