"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

"What song was it where Eminem said artists go downhill after the age of 30? He released the solid "eminem show" in 2002, two years after the colossal "marshal mathers lp". While "eminem show" wasn't as huge in content and popularity, the quick-witted and master-of-headworms still seemed on top of..." [+] Reply

"Great album. An assured debut that will most likely never improve upon. never matter this is a stone cold classic." 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

"Infinity Land is definitely Biffy's best record to the date, just before they decided to leave their Post-Hardcore sound they released this, their craziest, most inventive, experimental and diverse album. Again, me, as a person who HATES screams and Post-Hardcore, can't stop at loving this album,..." [+] Reply
"Very underrated this one. Probably because it's a different style for the Manics, less guitar and a smooth production. Ignore the mixed reviews and give it a listen, especially if you enjoyed This is My Truth." Reply

"Great music. At times during the album, I imagined Red House Painters playing a Shoegaze Metal version of the ( ) by Sigur Ros. "Tired of Me" is beautiful." Reply
"Massively underrated. This would turn out to be George’s swan song. Amazing production matched to confessional autobiographical lyrics, this may be a couple of tracks too long (a problem affecting many albums toward the end of the CD era) this remains rich and satisfying. Less overtly pop than hi..." [+] Reply
"A staple of early 00's Australian music for a very good reason - it oozes Australiana from its every pore." Reply
