"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

"This is one of them albums that grow on you. I remember buying it and listening to it several times thinking it was alright, then one day I put it on when alone in my car on a long drive and the full power of the title track just punched me in the face. Loved the album ever since." Reply

"What has Beethoven got to do with Christmas? Everyone talks about how "great" Beethoven was. Beethoven wasn't so great. He never got his picture on bubblegum cards, did he? Have you ever seen his picture on a bubblegum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who's never had his picture on bu..." [+] 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

"The follow up to, a night at the opera, and also it's companion album. It's similar in content to it's predecessor, in which it contains rockers, ballads, vaudeville and sweet pop. It opens with one of the band's finest rock anthems, tie your mother down. Brian May also contributes another rocker..." [+] 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

"Production is sleek. Beats infectious. Lyrics powerful and interesting. Songs varied yet unified. Janelle knows how to do it all seemingly effortlessly. Gonna take some time for me to really get into Pynk, I Got The Juice, and Americans. It'll probably happen at some point. P.s. Screwed is a bop...." [+] Reply
