"Well, to elaborate a little bit more on jshawnano's comment, think about all those sheogaze revival bands out there right now. Yeah, you notice how the genre seems to just be growing bigger and bigger? Well, thank these guys. Of course it is ultimately MBV that influenced all of the bands, but th..."  [+]  Reply

"It's not bad. It's a really interesting album with some fantastic drum beats and unique basslines, but overall it seemed like there were more okay songs than great songs. It's not as good as TNT, but it's still a substantial effort. Best tracks: Eros, Blackjack, Speakeasy Worst tracks: Firefly, E..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my favourite compilation albums. Of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's studio albums, the only major track it's *really* missing is "Manic Depression". Plus, live recordings are not something that most Best Of compilations focus on, but in this case, having a whole second disc dedicated to them..."  [+]  Reply

"A partial show recording from Bruce's triumphant return home after circling the globe with a reunited E Street Band. This tour is what solidified Bruce as one of my favorite artists and therefore holds a special place in my heart. If he'd released a full show instead of this chopped up piece of o..."  [+]  Reply

"An album that is somewhere between warm and mild. Spacy song patturns and fancy acoustic guitars put on quite a good display. Pleasantness surrounds this album. It is the whole air it breezes.

"I agree that Nickelback is a bad joke of a band, but it's really the musical movement they came out of that is the problem, which All Music refers to as the "post-grunge" period where every band and its brother had a lead singer that sounded like Eddie Vedder accompanying bland AOR mid-..."  [+]  Reply
