"Everything Jack White touches is gold. I have firmly believed that ever since I first discovered him and he hasn’t disappointed me yet. Whether it’s The White Stripes, The Dead Weather, The Raconteurs, as a producer or just by himself he continues to make great music. This album is everything you..." [+] Reply

"Strange how this classic isn't ranked higher in the charts. There something quite intriguing about this, the combination of live instrumentation and conscious lyrics really put something special" Reply

"Nice second effort from Welch who seems to try to get a bit more serious in her work with vocal harmonies and to distance herself from the more accesible music of her the debut, it has some nice tunes but it lacks consistency in general, particularly in the middle..." Reply

"Though it's not Violator by any means, it's a damn good album with great songs! Very interesting how the Mode branched out to natural instruments and took influences from other genres" Reply

"This is a seriously great album that would be on my chart if we had more room. It will probably be on my chart soon anyway. Ugh, 40 albums does not go very far. You explain whats great about Steely Dan really with two words; Jazz Cocaine. The bands use of cocaine has been widely chronicalled. It ..." [+] Reply

"I love a band that can be both wistfully beautiful and crushingly powerful within the same album. The amount of different sounds they tackle on this album is staggering. The playing is fantastic especially the drums. Clearly Like Herod and Mogwai Fear Satan are the big guns here if you’re thinkin..." [+] Reply

"Richard D. James is a genius. The man has an ability that few do, the way he is able to manipulate music, to subtly change small things here and there throughout songs is incredible. Sometimes instrumental electronic music can get boring, but not here, not even for a second. Every minute you’re d..." [+] Reply

""hair metal" yada yada, "spawned mtv's unplugged" yada yada ... What really strikes is that this is hard rock with a stylistic edge with fun hooks that doesn't overstay its welcome. The key ingredient to this album's, and this band's success, is jon bon jovi's writing chops -- the everyman workin..." [+] Reply

""Gaucho" is not really like any of the other Steely Dan albums. There is obviously no doubt that it's Steely Dan is playing, but the album has a unique sound and sentiment and it is very homogeneous. This does not mean that all songs are equally good. There are clearly tracks you remember better ..." [+] Reply

"This is really uneven. It has a couple great songs in "Plush" and "Creep," but it's mostly filler, especially on the second half." Reply
