"INXS were a favourite of mine for a good while, Kick was an album I loved and probably overplayed. X came and went, and then this. I remmeber at the time thinking this was their best offering, and listening again I still do. Quality right through, with maybe the exception of the last track, with ..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the album in which Yo La Tengo began maturing into the band they are today. It was the first to feature the current lineup and the first of their string of albums I would all call "great" (to be clear, this string of great albums continues today, over 20 years later). YLT had some great ..."  [+]  Reply

"With many versions of the same songs, one would think that this album is going to be a slog, but in reality is one of the better improvisational rock albums ever. All of the improvisations go to places far beyond their original ideas, and the clear sense of progression between disc and disce make..."  [+]  Reply

"I cannot believe I am the first to add this album. I hope that I have introduced this great album to people that otherwise wouldn't have heard it. It doesn't have all original material, but what it has is amazing: Would by Alice in Chains, Drown by the Smashing Pumpkins, State of Love and Trust B..."  [+]  Reply

"A wacky and wonderful collection of music. It's got songs that sound like Pink Floyd and King Crimson had a lovechild, 90s pop rock, 80s post punk a la Joy Division, something resembling lo-fi KISS, and some art rock that reminds me of Deerhoof before Deerhoof was a thing. Inexplicably, all of it..."  [+]  Reply

"The original Tubular Bells is a classic and was even ahead of it's time. But the synths on this are so dated. It somehow sounds even more dated than the original that came out 19 years before it. I do recognize the skill in composing and arranging this album, and I do enjoy the tracks Weightless,..."  [+]  Reply
