"Not long before Simon Gallup rejoined, The Cure made this live album showcasing songs from Three Imaginary Boys to The Top, it captures a broad range of their music up to 1984."  Reply

"If this was just a regular album I wouldn't give it a particularly good rating, but as a parody of all the tired cliches in 70s and 80s rock music it works brilliantly (especially with how hilariously stupid some of the lyrics are) You'd need to watch the film first though before listening to thi..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is all about melancholia and being happy to be sad. There are a few great tracks (Mess Of Me, Hello Hurricane, The Sound, Needle and Haystack Life) and few bad ones (Always, Free, Your Love Is A Song). There's a song like "Bullet Soul" in just every Switchfoot album. "Enough To Let Me ..."  [+]  Reply

"The Beginning of true classic Hawkwind, Lemmy doesn't make it better, but he (as does drummer Simon King), give the band a punkadelic atmosphere. Dave Brock is still the captain of this ship, and its his songs, as does Nic Turners stellar bashout Brainstorm that provide the main meat for this hal..."  [+]  Reply

"Their new album, "Electric", will remind you of the new daft punk album (if you've been lucky enough to hear it). But it's probably more accurate to say the new daft punk should remind you of classic pet shop boys, as the boys have been around longer. They just happen to share influences, like mr..."  [+]  Reply

"Another perfect covers record (see Kicking against the Pricks by Nick Cave). Cat Power takes the cover process even a step further than Nick Cave. In many instances, the original is hardly recognizable. The result is each team gripping."  Reply
