"Ok, time for a real comment and not just reference to other existing bands. This album, for me, lived fully up to the hype I gave it, which was a lot. Mostly because of how good Narrator was as a single. The Squid boys are masters of combining groovy, melodic sections with experimental walls of s..." [+] Reply

"This is rap's Sex Pistols moment. Rap was getting stale, trapped in the overproduced cliched shit of the late 90s. How many artists followed the rags to riches/drugs/parties/hos and bitches/outsmart cops/guns/bling formula? Eminem was a breath of fresh air. A strong lyricist with underrated flow,..." [+] Reply

""Dude, I wasn't out of inspiration, I was watching." Whatever, it's fun. Dr. Dre comes back with an overproduced set of tracks of which the best thing you could say is that they're catchy. All the while keeping up appearences that he's still the mf OG of rap. Sure Dre, as long as you keep them be..." [+] Reply

"Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno make this album one of the most brilliant that I've ever heard. You generally don't see this one in best album charts, and that's a shame. Here we have some of the most important songs in Roxy Music's history. There is some great work here with sythesizers and sound clip..." [+] Reply

"Autobahn suffers from 2112 syndrome; an amazing 20 minute epic on one side of the record, encompassing everything great the group had done up to that point, followed by a seemingly random assortment of good songs on the other side that pale in comparison to the first song/side, making for a puzzl..."

"Get happy, is Elvis Costello's soul album. Motown and Stax is where the heart of this record lies. It's a 20 track LP, and it's breathless. Love for tender, kicks the album off in that fashion and it never let's up. From the catchy, king horse, and, possession, to the more relaxed, secondary mode..." [+] Reply

"This is a great album, and as the person before me said, this is better than their next and more popular album, Songs from the Big Chair. In addition to really thoughtful lyrics, the music here is really good. The melodies are memorable and interesting, the vocals are nice (almost sounding like t..." [+] Reply
