"Chance has a very similar sound to Kendrick Lamar, whose debut album last year received all kinds of praise. The music is great, and more importantly, Chance’s rapping ability is great.

""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

"First, don't want to ruin this experience for anybody by over hyping it. Take it in in a natural way. So, Beach House is my favorite. I contemplate my favorite album of all time as Teen Dream, Bloom, Depression Cherry, and now Once Twice Melody. This album blows me away with the sonics and sounds..." [+] Reply

"Among the greatest Metal/Thrash albums ever recorded.

A great change from Metallica's Black Album, at the time. Crazy concert too. '94..." [+] 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

"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
