"i remember the first time i heard this album. i purchased it at some commercial giant (best buy, i believe), went home, threw the disc into my portable sony walkman and paced around my parents' backyard. i was barefoot. the grass was green and slightly damp. the sun was up, and there wasn't a clo..."

"As much as I enjoyed Hüsker Dü back in the eighties, I personally think Bob Mould made his best music after Hüsker Dü split. In my opinion, the wall of electric guitar that became Mould's trademark contribution to Hüsker Dü's sound reached its apex on Copper Blue, the first album Mould made with ..." [+] Reply

"An astonishing performance by Yes on a record that is very under appreciated. The instrumentals on this album are amazing and stun me every time I hear them. The guitar work is just outstanding and this is exemplified by the 15 minute epic Awaken which is the best track on this album. This song e..." [+] Reply

"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

"One of the most complex and deeply rooted pieces of loud music ever recorded. Vile, poetic, emotional, and pure, Jane Doe is indeed a piece of music history. It needs more than one listen to get into, but once it has rampaged through your mind, it will quickly become one of the best things you'll..." [+] Reply

"To me by far their worst album. Songwriting wasn't as sharp and covers weren't as good. Three good songs (It' Won't Be Long, All I've Got To Do, and All My Loving), but rest are just fillers and b-sides." Reply

"Ok, so screw the Fantano review, I'm giving my own feedback now. I'm not the biggest Tool fan, but as far as comebacks go this is a pretty good one (7/10). They are not reinventing the wheel or anything with this record, but that's because they don't need to. It all feels very Tool, which I would..." [+] Reply

"Nice second effort from Welch who seems to try to get a bit more serious in her work with vocal harmonies and to distance herself from the more accesible music of her the debut, it has some nice tunes but it lacks consistency in general, particularly in the middle..." Reply
