"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

"that must have been a really severe birth for Yngwie's mother. it must be hard, to give birth to a child and a guitar ...simultaneously. to be earnest: this is not a music album for listeners. it's an application for the world championship in guitar playing. really astonishing but also technocrat..."  [+]  Reply

"This album (and the singles from it) helped introduce the lyrical brilliance of Bob Dylan to a much wider audience. PP&M's cover of Blowin' In The Wind was a pivotal moment - I've added the song, via this album, to my own Dylan covers chart."  Reply

"One of the most underrated albums on these charts, and my second-favorite live album of all time. Joe Jackson is not a major artist - if you haven't heard this album. This live collection, taken from four different tours (one per side), makes a strong case that he *is* a major artist of his time...."  [+]  Reply

"It's Spoon with some pretty whack '80's synth thrown in. Spoon: good, '80's synth: dubious ... but then, it is whack.

"I'm not a big rap fan, so this record was instrumental in introducing me to the brilliance of ICE T. A really nice mix of social commentary and sophomoric humor blended with some genuinely ass kicking metal."  Reply
