"The best film scores help to expand what is on the screen, enhancing the drama, building tension, signifying story changes and conveying emotion. But with Amadeus, that usage is taken to a far greater extent; the music itself becomes one of the core parts of the production, defining the character..."  [+]  Reply

"A beautiful, unique journey of a record with many amazing moments. The Japanese bonus track Cartwheel completes the album for me, giving it a much-needed final hurrah. See You On The Other Side is an expansive and dynamic record that pushes boundaries and gets better and better with each successi..."  [+]  Reply

"Former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp blends the sound that would have been Songs From the Black Hole and the sound of Pinkerton and makes a formidable debut album. Please That Be You and Brilliant Boy are the best tracks, but find the slow acoustic version of The Love I'm Searching For if you want to..."  [+]  Reply

"I like this type of 80s synth sound. It has had a bit of a resurgence but nothing like the real thing . I enjoyed the whole album more than a one hit wonder to me. If you liked you melt with you I believe you'll find other tracks to like here."  Reply
