"The repetitive nature and lack of quality lyrics in tunes like Never Learnt to Share "but I don't blame them..." are the things that ultimately spoiled this album for me. It has some awesome moments, and I find it hard to not appreciate the production (that bass...), but I can't listen to the ent..." [+] Reply

"Bone machine, is Tom Waits' industrial album. It's dark, unsettling, and has a kind of mechanical sound to it, like it was recorded in some nightmarish factory. First track, earth died screaming, is actually one of the more challenging songs, as if he wanted to scare the daylights out of any casu..." [+] Reply

"This first time I listened to this album I didn't exactly love it, but I also thought it was one of the better releases from Weezer. I really liked Everything Will Be Alright In The End, which was probably my third favourite Weezer album next to The Blue Album, and Pinkerton. After a few listens ..." [+] Reply

"Really really reaaaally enjoying this album right now. While this album does have a fair amount of pop appeal (looking at the production on Big Fish, as well as Rain Come Down as a whole), it manages to very much have its own sound. "Yeah Right" is contagiously energetic and bombastic to no end, ..." [+] Reply

"With the release of “Every Picture Tells A Story” Rod Stewart solidified his career as a solo artist. Faces would release one more album before Rod The Mod swaggered off to a very lucrative and sometimes maligned solo career. For everything we think about Stewart after 1974-ish, this album stands..."

"Can't enjoy this as much as her previous works. And I seldom heard high notes from her now on this record, perhaps due to her aging. But her vocal line still sounds sweet, only less sexy though. It's still a very edgy work when compared to other messes on the current market. Fav track: Nocturn." Reply

"I would consider this album to be very underrated. A deserving Grammy winner for album of the year not in the top 1500? Not in the top 20 for 1974? Overall it is a very good album. Not my favorite from Stevie, but very nice work nonetheless. Some fantastic instrumentation and vocal performances o..." [+] Reply

"The run from Sex on Fire till Revelry is a relentless flawless streak of mad genius. I dont know how/why i ended up loving those 4 songs so much, but they havent aged a day after all this time and i only love them more with every listen. The rest of the album has eventually grown on me, notion an..." [+] Reply
