"The start of my favourite period of Costello's career, Get Happy!! is delirious fun. 20 songs in under an hour, this is still one of his longer albums. But every song is strong, from the frenetic opener Love for Tender, to the heartbreaking Motel Matches and the strange but lovely New Amsterdam. ..." Reply

"Great contributions from every member of the group. Fantastic guitar work and great songwriting. An eclectic collection of songs that fit well together, in my opinion." Reply

"Most Stereolab albums are similarly groove-based and they're all great." Reply

"Rife misogyny notwithstanding, Dr Dre's "2001" is a great album with tremendous production and some great features. I imagine it would've been the sound of the future back then, since all of these tracks hold up so well in 2017. Catchy and just really strong." Reply

"Gets a lot of love because of its shock value and Eminem bursting on the scene. A white rapper that could actually flow and rhyme with skill brought everybody together to name him rap king. The fact is this is pretty silly goofy stuff. What he writes about is trivial and his vocal delivery throug..." Reply

"This album actually kinda creeps me out. There's something sinister about it I can't put my finger on. Feels weird." Reply
