"Definitely Sonic Youth's worst album. They just repeated the same formula they used on Dirty, but this time, they made it noisy and boring. There isn't much to say about most of the songs, they're mostly just forgettable and straight up boring. However there are a few gems in here: Bull In the He..."  [+]  Reply

"Some years ago I probably would have had Hips and Makers in my overall top ten for the nineties, as I found former Throwing Muses frontwoman Kristin Hersh's voice to be stirring and spellbinding. I still do, but this album has lost a bit of its luster over the years, as it feels to me like an alb..."  [+]  Reply

"The level of energy contained in this album is astounding! This is pure, raw, in your face, I like it! Jeremy Taggart's talent on drums is particularly on display in this album (he was around 18 when they recorded this!). Great album, amazing songs."  Reply

"Peanut Butter & Banana My Apple Music player has a mind of its own. It thinks it reigns predominant over the music apps on my Apple iBook. So sometimes, when I’m listening to an album on spotify AND also downloading some mp3s in the background, it will just start playing too. And there’s this ble..."  [+]  Reply

"A really good hip hop record. Some really good tracks on here. But not my favorite Gang Starr album. It feels like they were going for a more hardcore sound than their previous records which makes sense being released in 94. Some of the tracks I find skippable. That being said, Mass Appeal, Blowi..."  [+]  Reply
