"This surprised me a lot, after following up her critical breakthrough Norman Fucking Rockwell with a couple of substantially weaker albums I figured that Lana's music had peaked and that the still quite decent standard of Chemtrails and Blue Banisters would be the new normal. I think I was about ..."  [+]  Reply

"This anticipates everything the Foos ever did and it gets bonus points for being the first album. At that time, no one ever thought we would hear anything more about or from Dave Grohl. The first three tracks are still unbeaten by anything they ever did in all the years later."  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

"After hearing the live versions of these songs I was just grateful that Jonny and Thom were able to come together and have fun collaborating again with so much passion, creativity and energy. Now, listening to the recorded version, I’m reminded that Nigel Godrich is that extra element that always..."  [+]  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

"Live at Leeds, is quite rightly regarded as one of the great live albums. It's The Who at the top of their game, when all four members were at the peak of their powers, Moon, at his powerhouse best, Entwistle, totally on it as a stunning bass player, Townshend, finally showing his potential as a ..."  [+]  Reply

"Are there any other country albums that gives atmosphere like this? Because this is incredible. I thought 12 Country Greats by Ween would be my favorite country album. But half way in this and this is taking the crown. Might be my AOTY. As well as getting a 100 from me. After finishing this, this..."  [+]  Reply

"Great album. Nothing's shocking, still sounds utterly unique today. It's funky, punky, and atmospheric. It's cinematic and intimate all at the same time. Personally, I just prefer follow up, ritual de lo habitual, but this is still a superb record in it's own right. This is the kind of record tha..."  [+]  Reply

"A chore to listen to in its entirety but what an original debut! Muse might possibly have been the most interesting act to follow since Radiohead's "OK, Computer" (1995). As a mediocre three-chord-guitarist, I humbly take off my imaginary hat to pay respect to Matthew Bellamy's obvious guitar vir..."  [+]  Reply
