"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

"Composed, performed and produced by Jarre, a French pioneer of electronic music, the album starts with with a quiet, peaceful mood in "Part I" and it picks up the pace in "Part II" where it literally blossoms melodically and rhythmically. The musical journey transitions to "Part III", a more refl..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic concept album with an intricate plot that never wavers. Its wonderfully thought out, planned, and executed. Still as intriguing to listen to it today as it was back then. The amazing thing is that the songs are great individually as well as part of the whole."  Reply

"I went through a period of loving Aussie rock so much back in the late eighties that I wound up spending my junior year of college in Perth. Of all those Australian bands that I loved back then, Midnight Oil was probably the best, and is the one that has had the most staying power for me. They ma..."  [+]  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

"The Byrds debut album brings folk rock to the masses. It's an enjoyable album although sonically it all sounds the same, still, it's an excellent and influential LP. The jangly guitars dominate, a sound that The Beatles had used on the previous year's, what you're doing, on their, Beatles for sal..."  [+]  Reply

"The most highly regarded album by the Fall on this particular site, and this album does still have much to shout about, it is better for example than the further trio of Brix albums that followed it. However, in my opinion it cannot compete with the likes of Grotesque, Hex or Perverted By Languag..."  [+]  Reply

"Brian Eno, ex-keyboardist of Roxy Music, is one of the most influential figures in rock music having single-handedly changed the course of its trajectory on at least three occasions. Firstly he fused pop and electronics in an experimental way and thus changed the very notion of what a 'pop song' ..."  [+]  Reply
