"Toad the Wet Sprocket is one of those perfect artists for the void left between Kurt's passing and "what came next". Tortured, introspective, conflicted and yet melodic, i'd consider this alternative album near-great if not for the over-extended, non-hooky closing dirge. If you want a good exampl..."  [+]  Reply

"This is not the original track listing, but the 10th anniversary edition listing. On the original rease in 1994, substitute Thank You for The Rain Song. Thank You was the second track on the original album."  Reply

"For some reasons I never went beyond their first two albums. A shame. I was directed to this album when I heard Goldfrapp made an appearance. While realizing her contributions were disappointing (for her standards) I was already intensely enjoying the soundscapes and beats from Orbital. They know..."  [+]  Reply

"Personally I think this was Jawbreaker's best album. The quality is more consistent than Dear You though the production values are lower given their lack of money at the time. The 1st 6 songs are all excellent and West Bay Invitational is hilarious. Most of the a songs are direct charges with hig..."  [+]  Reply

"Slow-core at its best. This is actually quite heavy, the distortion is loud and the lyrics tender. The lead singer sings on Wird: "I wanna walk/But I have to crawl", and I guess that sums up Codeine's music as well. They could play fast and aggressive, but instead they tone it down and plays in a..."  [+]  Reply
