"I want to say that it's better than Aja but it was such a long time since I listened to that record so I would have to give it another shot before making a determination. But. I do maintain that I believe it would have more of an emotional impact if it was less over-produced, though I do understa..." [+] Reply

"Feels like a day in a city ruled by teenaged graffiti artists. It's guitars are wild, the drums are spontaneous in the beginning and Karen O likes the fact that you're breaking the rules and the cops are chasing you. She's like that laid-back, cool girl who joins the gangs who ride motorcycles an..." [+] Reply

"All 3 of Jimi's studio albums are considered Rock essentials, but if you're a guitarist, I would call this record just as important to hear. Whether you agree with it or not, Jimi is consistently cited as the greatest guitarist of all time, and he proves it on his solos here." Reply

"I don't know if two albums were really necessary for this release, but it's still a good debut for James Murphy's popular project. I love his faux Beatles tune on track five, Daft Punk... is a classic hit, and Tribulations is an outstanding dance smash. It's just too much for me by the end. It's ..." [+] Reply

"I'm really liking this album. Really, really liking it. It's classy, it's provocative, it's original, it's terribly sexy, and the production is impeccable. Maybe the lyrics are not brilliant, maybe there are a couple of songs that feel a little underwhelming, but it's still a very competent and o..." [+] Reply

"This is a great album, and as the person before me said, this is better than their next and more popular album, Songs from the Big Chair. In addition to really thoughtful lyrics, the music here is really good. The melodies are memorable and interesting, the vocals are nice (almost sounding like t..." [+] Reply
