"This is undoubtedely their finest work to date. "Moonshine" at nearly 7 minutes long is glorious! "Love Pollution" and the single "Just The Way I'm Feeling" are also great" Reply

"The great Mr Corgan - please remaster and release asap as promised - my copy of this is poor quality to say the least But about the album - fantastic on a Parr with machina 1 Fingers crossed and cash ready just waiting for a release date of it remastered" Reply
"If you're going to dismiss the entire genre of oasis-influenced soft rock as trite and appealing only to teen girls, then you're going to probably agree with the low rating of this album. That's not something I can entirely fault you for as there's a lot of crap from this genre and time period th..." [+] Reply

"So many of these songs sound better here because many of Leonard's studio works suffer from poor to average production. This album just sounds so good and the songs really take on a life of their own. The arrangements are superb. Favorite tracks "Dance Me To The End Of Love", "The Future", "Ain't..." [+] Reply
"After the slight disappointment of the, you're the one, album, Paul Simon returns six years later with an excellent record. Surprise, is probably Simon's most challenging album to date, featuring, according to the credits, ' sonic landscape' by Brian Eno. There is certainly a more ambient feeling..." [+] Reply
"Devils & dust is Bruce springsteen's follow up to 2002's, the rising. Harking back to the acoustic sparseness of the, Nebraska, and, ghost of Tom Joad, albums, although there is a lot more band instrumentation this time around. The title track, is excellent, and the best song on the album. It's k..." [+] Reply

"Hands Clean hits harder than You Oughta Know... The sucker who slept with her was older, and wanted to keep the relationship secret. Dave Coulier? Some record exec? Either way, he must not have slept well hearing this one. This is actually a decent album - not as blatantly angry as Jagged Little ..." [+] Reply

"By the third album, most bands are either already re-treading familiar turf and slipping into comfortable self-parody or challenging their fanbase and losing half of them in the process. For Bloc Party circa Intimacy, it was very much the latter, but this is actually a thrilling listen in places...." [+] Reply
"This album probably has more sentimental value to me than anything, but I think, objectively, it deserves more praise than it gets. Post hardcore and pop punk probably isn't for everyone, but I can't think of another album that has blended the 2 for fluidly than this one. It's also mixed beautifu..." [+] Reply

"I absolutely adore the production on this album; the industrial noise has very limited variety in terms of tone but is incredibly hard hitting. There are tracks where it drags on a little too long, but for me the noise never overstays it's welcome. The rapping is a little underwhelming and the ly..." [+] Reply
