"Can anyone say 'underrated?' No, no, I get it; critics were not a huge fan of it when it first came out, labeling Radiohead a 'one-hit wonder' for the megahit "Creep," but is that even the best song on the album? I do not think there is really a bad song on this album. No, it is not my favourite ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of THE greatest singer-songwriter records of the 21st century. Damien Rice couples his great lyricism with passionate singing to make his debut a modern masterpiece."  Reply

"Has anyone noticed, the three symbols are their heads? Misunderstood album. It is a dark, serious, album, other than "Everything she does is magic". I love "Darkness", no one else seems to."  Reply

"An incredibly inspired, otherworldly, captivating, dramatic album. Her ethereal shapeshifting voice, the beautiful, brutally unconventional but highly accomplished arrangements... It's as if she's conjuring a new world into existence with the power of sound. I want to live inside this album and w..."  [+]  Reply

"The Pretty Things' 1968 album "S.F. Sorrow" did not 'cause much attention when it was originally released. The band had already shown, with their previous album "Emotions", that they wanted to explore new grounds, and that they felt that the r&b concept was too limited for them. "Emotions" showed..."  [+]  Reply

"This is my favorite Leonard Cohen album. It is my favorite for many of the same reasons the self titled Townes Van Zandt album is my favorite Townes album or why Nebraska is the best Springsteen album, or Pink Moon is my fave Nick Drake, or or or etc. Its one of the most starkly grim albums I've ..."  [+]  Reply

"Everyone of course this sounds like Thom Yorke's solo project. The reason the band formed was to initially perform songs from The Eraser live, a few years later they decided to release an album so that's why it sounds similar. Flea is so talented, you think the only way he knows how to play bass ..."  [+]  Reply

"This group has one of the most interesting and unique dynamics amongst any folk group I have listened to and that keeps this record engaging even during the slower moments. To start with there is the fantastic vocal performance which is classically British and leads the instrumentation perfectly...."  [+]  Reply
