"You know, for the past six months, I've been going out with a girl named Annie. It's sorta funny, because she's into the exact opposite of this kind of music. She's into all this weird pretentious ballet/opera stuff like Jackie Evancho. Oh, how much cooler she'd be if she just took the time to pa..." [+] Reply

"Good electronic dance/big beat album. Best 5 songs average is 81/100 and the album gets 80/100. I like The Prodigy's sound anyway, but it's bit away from their 90ies album quality.

"simmers quite beautifully, but ultimately fails to make much of an impact because of how restrained the majority of the record is. although "transit" (one of the best tracks here) shakes things up a bit with vocals and more aggressive glitch (see also: "the stone of impermanence"), it doesn't rea..."

"This was huge back in high school, brings up a lot of emotions and memories." Reply
"The songs on i idle by in a more languid mood than many of those already featured in Stephin Merrits oevre, if anything, this adds to rather than detracting from the album, lending it a unique and a much-appreciated appeal. Cool." Reply

"This is pretty different from the African albums I’ve listened to. It doesn’t sit under the folk and pop umbrellas that tend to dominate. There are African instruments playing alongside European orchestral instruments. It’s a very ambitious (perhaps progressive) album, I even want to call it a co..." [+] Reply

"R&B album of the year at the 2006 Grammys" Reply
"A pretty solid album, though many of the songs follow the same exact formula and sound pretty much the same, apart from the riffs and maybe a few add ons between songs. If there was greater diversity in songs, much like in "You Got No Right," and "Loving the Alien," with more diversity between in..." [+] Reply

"Very underrated. The best so-called "post-grunge" album, because it's really a metal album with a bit of blues and rock. Its lyrics are inspirational. Outstanding performance by vocalist Myles Kennedy is highlight of the ablum- maybe one of the best ever!" Reply
