"The call and response vocals are interesting. The repetition and long track lengths are meant to induce relaxation and a sort of trance of enlightenment, apparently. They do get into a nice groove at times: best was "Ali Maula". The underlying melody isn't always compelling, and the long track le..."  [+]  Reply

"This is an absolutely stunning collection of music. It just goes to show what a fantastic band The Rolling Stones were in the sixties. I know it's singles and their b-sides, but if only they added, under my thumb, yesterday's papers, and, midnight rambler, it would have been even better. Anyway, ..."  [+]  Reply

"Pretty good compilation but I'd include "Generator", "Hey Johnny Park!", "Low", "I'll Stick Around" rather than "Breakout", "Skin and Bones", "Big Me". There are two new songs, "Wheels" and "Word Forward" which are both strong to excellent. This is a decent introduction to the Foos, but I find th..."  [+]  Reply

"Well I don't know what to say about this really. It is not the Manic Street Preachers I know and love. It's like listening to a film soundtrack from the 1950's or 60's. Very odd indeed."  Reply

"Due to oversaturation on the airwaves of "Two Princes" this album unfortunately goes underrated and overlooked. It's actually an incredibly solid guitar-rock album. The Doctors never did anything as good again (nor was their debut album in this class), but this one's great from start to..."  [+]  Reply

"I still gave this a 50 because, as always, the music is fantastically arranged, but GOD these lyrics are a complete joke. Considering one of the world's greatest poets decided to make an album consisting of cliche religious flash words and phrases you can hear at any Sunday mass, I would consider..."  [+]  Reply

"She's very consistent as far as pop artists go. She took a step back on the songwriting here because of how her last album went. Kind of sad, I think she is much better than most pop artists when she is working with the right person. Not too much of her and not too much of them. This album defini..."  [+]  Reply
