"It's overdramatic, just as it should be, and for the better. All of the songs have perfect lyrics and can be argued as a highlight but my personal favorite is probably Cross My Heart followed by Celebrity Status. The end is also one of the greatest ends to any album ever."  Reply

"This is one of a handful of cases where their album was just as good, and highly similar stylistically, as their last album; and yet, i liked the album a bit less because i've become a bit tired of the "formula". This is simply a "ho hum / show me something new" reaction to an otherwise solid boo..."  [+]  Reply

"I won’t always admit how much I like this record, but it’s a surprisingly good effort from not yet Disco-tainted Stewart. The rockers (“Hot Legs,” “You're Insane,” “Born Loose”) really rip, and the ballads, while at times cheesy, are mostly strong. The best song may be “You Keep Me Hangin' On,” t..."  [+]  Reply

"I think Word Of Mouth is The Kinks' best album of the 80's. That doesn't make it one of the best albums of the band because we are still miles away from their great output of the late 60's and early 70's, but nonetheless, this album is enjoyable. I'm usually not particularly a fan of Dave's songs..."  [+]  Reply

"When your band is the offspring of Gang of Four and XTC people are going to expect that artistically you can bring the pain so to speak. Without a doubt, Shriekback could bring it. One could argue that Shriekback didn't have the consistency over its lifespan of its parent bands, but for at least ..."  [+]  Reply

"Dec20. I just love the sound of these guys. The bridge between Nirvana and 2000s emo, with a good bit of punk thrown in. Not sure how such bleak lyrics and sounds can make me feel so good. They just express things so directly. If wallowing in mysery over 2020 or suffering from some anxiety, then ..."  [+]  Reply
