"There are a few really great tracks here, and some that could've been left off. One of the songs of the year was "One Week," a song that is fun to sing along with as any. Then "Alcohol," in which the Ladies tell us how much better their lives are now that they've discoverd alcohol. Doesn't everyo..." [+] Reply

"Liz Phair has had an inconsistent career. Exile in Guyville was such a shot across the bow for the music industry and for female artists. Whip-Smart was dull and unfocused. He latest work reeks of misdirection and sell-out. On Whitechocolatespaceegg, Liz Phair feels confident enough to experiment..." [+] Reply

"Brilliant album. Production wise, it was a clear step up on Actual Fantasy. Possibly the only criticism is that at 104 minutes it goes on a little too long. And it is not really an album that one can pick and choose tracks as there is commentary in between." Reply
"Great record, one of the definitive for the post rock in the '90" Reply
"If there was any question about whether her debut was a fluke, this put it to rest. This is a great collection of songs." Reply

"There is nothing quite like this. At the same time it is heavy, dark AND humorous....while still kind of having a retro 1950's feel to it. Great stuff." Reply

"This was back in the days I used to listen to X-96 at work for a few hours every day. "Circles" was a song they played a few times a day for a while... everyone in the office got real sick of it, except for me, so since I was manning the radio, it got turned up every time it came on." Reply

"I absolutely love a number of the songs on here. Others I'd rather not ever hear again. Though part of Metallica's greatness is taking other bands' work and making it better.

"Brilliant compilation of "The Lamb" live, and rare and obscure early material." Reply
"In the '90s I might've given it an 8/10 with a healthy dose of shame, but after having experienced the '00s, I have no doubt this ripple caused a tidal wave. The pop dilutes the country into something that is digestible for non-American listeners too, but that's not to say I like it despite the c..." [+] Reply
