"I love this album, hated it at first but as each song unravelled in my mind I began to love it. Firmly my favourite Monkeys album now." 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

"There aren't too many standout tracks but that's really the only problem I can find with this album. It consistently sounds great and it has a very solid direction and the overall sound is very interesting, influential, and ahead of it's time." Reply

"After Psychocandy created some controversy regarding the sound of TJAMC, Darklands counterbalances and shows the critics and the public that the band was also capable of writing strikingly beautiful songs without necessarily recurring to the "Noise Rock" aesthetic." Reply

"This was the most accessible Nick Cave album to date when it was released in 1990. It's still a dark record, but the music is now approaching a beauty you certainly wouldn't have expected a few years before. Opener, foi na cruz, is lovely, as is, the weeping song. The most beautiful track though ..." [+] Reply

"One of the greatest hard rock albums ever!! For those that like hard rock, metal, or punk...you should listen to this album, rock out, and make it part of your collection. Lemmy is an anomaly (a true rock legend)...he's still lives the fast life and plays incredibly loud, blistering, fast hard ro..." [+] Reply

"Imperial bedroom, is Elvis Costello's best album of the eighties. It's a wonderfully rich record featuring some great orchestration which is the icing on the cake to a lot of the tracks. Costello would try the same thing nine years later with, mighty like a rose, but where as on that record he th..." [+] Reply

"This album contains a lot of my favorite DCFC songs: Marching Bands Of Manhattan Soul Meets Body Summer Skin Different Names For The Same Thing What Sarah Said Brothers On A Hotel Bed All those hits force me to rate this album high. However, I don't think it is their more cohesive album. Narrow S..." [+] Reply

"It's got a lot going for it. The lyrics are a legitimate attempt at a "theory of everything", with some considerable success, and capturing some of the most nuanced and poetic turns-of-phrase since all of those literary masters (Nabokov, Shakespeare, Wolfe, what have you). The music is now substa..." [+] Reply

""1984" is an album that will likely appeal to the inner-10 year old in everyone, (if that inner-10 year-old still exists, that is.) The garage band aspects that defined Van Halen's first five albums (with David Lee Roth, natch,) have been smoothed, but not eliminated - and the results are compell..." [+] Reply
