"One of their best albums! The combination of the the acid house and dance music in Ibiza with the signature New Order sound equals something magical. Favorites are well, the whole album! Probably the most cohesive album from them" Reply

"Along with, ray of light, like a prayer, is Madonna's best album. Usually with Madge, there are great singles but albums always tend to have a bit of filler on them. Not here. Having said that the singles are still the strongest songs; cherish, express yourself, and the title track are perfect po..." [+] Reply

"Yes, it is so incredibly good that many of the tracks are still ranking at or around 90. If you've never heard this album, it's because it's by Ween. Just about everybody, at a certain point before this album, wrote Ween off as a novelty band (and rightfully so, at least for the early 90s). Howev..." [+] Reply

"So I'm currently working at an Applebees as a server. They have one of those TouchTunes jukeboxes and I just downloaded the app for it. That way I can play music without being judged by others for my superior taste. Around 11 PM I played "Stagger Lee" and followed it up with "O'Malley's Bar." It ..." [+] Reply

"It's easily the best Sabbath album with Dio, and maybe even one of their overall best. It might even be Ronnie James Dio's best work. This and Holy Diver anyway. Ozzy being kicked out of Sabbath was the best thing ever. We got Blizzard of Ozz and this beautiful album out of it." Reply

"Cannot decide between this and Pornography. Both are masterpieces of the darkest and the most "goth" Cure period. Holy Hour against One Hundred Years, All Cats Are Gray against A Strange Day and so on..." Reply

"Quite possibly my favourite album ever, speaks to me like no other album ever has. Imposible to say how much this album means to me, soundtrack to my teenage years and still relevant now. I can see why some might hate this album but at least give it a try it might change your life." Reply

"A haunting album that gets darker and darker the deeper into it you go. Unwound tells you right from the start that if you dont give this album your full attention for more than an hour you can just fuck off." Reply

"I remember reading BEA user JulianR’s comment on My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless “never has an album been so synonymous with a genre, yet so unique within it”, but my mind, however, leapt immediately to this one. So iconic was its release that the entire labelling of the ambient genre followed its..." [+] Reply

"Bone machine, is Tom Waits' industrial album. It's dark, unsettling, and has a kind of mechanical sound to it, like it was recorded in some nightmarish factory. First track, earth died screaming, is actually one of the more challenging songs, as if he wanted to scare the daylights out of any casu..." [+] Reply
