"The band's most popular album for good reason. It is their most consistent and engaging. The title track and Slow Ride are classic rock gems."  Reply

Goddamnit 
United States Alkaline Trio
Buy album United States
"An example of what a debut should be like for any upcoming rebel group. The riffs and speed in the guitar while the drums pound away past this day and the next.

Krig-ha, Bandolo! 
Brazil Raul Seixas
Buy album United States
"First solo record by Raul (who had led a band and then was working as a producer), and my favourite of his relatively short career (he died at 44 years-old). One of the best Brazilian rock/pop records ever. The mix of different rhythms and styles (sometimes in the same track) is insane. The defia..."  [+]  Reply

"This album gets unfairly overlooked on account of it not being 36 Chambers. An extremely memorable selection of songs, with every rapper involved bringing their best to show. Deserves more love."  Reply

"SUCH a solid record. Chock full of great songs. Don't let descriptions of dark make you wary, although it does give that vibe (at times)"  Reply

"One of the more underrated songwriters in hard rock is Blackie Lawless. People often looked at W.A.S.P.'s controversial image over the fact Blackie and the boys have put out a ton of good albums. Their debut is a good listen."  Reply

"The record with one of the most important polish song "Autobiorafia" ever. Foreigners have no chance to understand it but for people who lived there it should be very clear."  Reply
