"Raw and ragged and kind of thin and flat; their first trip to the studio wasn't any better than anybody else's, and they were still figuring out whose guitar would be better where. But it is strangely compelling; like the very early U2 recordings, they aren't very good, but you can tell that will..." [+] Reply
"Burial has two full length studio albums to his name. Both are classics and game-changers in the genre of minimalist electronic music. He is undoubtedly the benchmark electronic artist of today. But here we have what I believe are two of his best albums, both EPs, combined into a full length albu..." [+] Reply

"I just don’t get the bad ratings. It’s not in my top tier of Tull albums but I really like this album. Salamander is one of my top 10 favorite tracks by the band. Maybe it’s because this was the 2nd Tull album I heard after Thick As a Brick as I have a sibling who’s seven years older than me and ..." [+] Reply
"Foreign affairs, is Tom Waits' film noir album. It's full of monochrome images of gangsters, loose women, and illicit goings on, it's a very cinematic experience. The record starts off with the instrumental, Cinny's waltz, sets the scene perfectly, this isn't a modern day record, it's old fashion..." [+] Reply
"The fact this album isn't in the top 10 of 1999 doesn't do it justice, I put it in my top 10 of all time. Tellin' Stories was good but this is just magnificent. The Blind Stagger and Impossible the stand out tracks from a an album where The Charlatans where on top form, with a big departure from ..." [+] Reply
"An album that is somewhere between warm and mild. Spacy song patturns and fancy acoustic guitars put on quite a good display. Pleasantness surrounds this album. It is the whole air it breezes. Having trouble remembering parts of whole songs even after listening a while. I suppose 'Underdog (Save ..." [+] Reply

"A disappointment as far as The Magnetic Fields are concerned, but still a halfway decent album." Reply
