"Still sounds as fresh today as it did back in '93. This a great album full of punchy rock'n'roll with a dose of punk. Gritty and great. Excellent." Reply

"The first album from the Crawley band in 16 years is well worth the wait, the atmospheres generated are very reminiscent of Disintegration and Robert Smith's vocal performance is strong. One I'd definitely recommend if you're a fan of the group" 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

"This record was my introduction to Dream Theater nearly 4 years ago. I fell in love with it right away with the music, the story (with parts of songs set in the present day, and others set in 1928), the production, the players, and the way the songs were set up into Acts. It's a genius album riva..." [+] Reply

"Combat rock, is really the 'last' proper Clash album, and looking at the contents of the box set a few years ago, it seems the band agrees with this. If you take out, should i stay or should i go, and, rock the casbah, it would be an incredibly frustrating album. The rest is fine, but it's clear ..." [+] 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
