"Intimate, not whiny. Emotional, not overacted. Confident, not self-indulgent. Original, not recycled. Telling, not yelling. That's why this album is so great and the ones that came after it aren't." Reply

"A very sad album, but a good listen. He clearly knows he hasn't much time left with some of his song choices - In My Life, We'll Meet Again etc. His voice is clearly going in some of the tracks - In My Life is sung out of tune. Hurt for me is the stand-out track. Very poignant." Reply

"Quite possibly my favourite album ever, speaks to me like no other album ever has. Imposible to say how much this album means to me, soundtrack to my teenage years and still relevant now. I can see why some might hate this album but at least give it a try it might change your life." Reply

"One of THE greatest singer-songwriter records of the 21st century. Damien Rice couples his great lyricism with passionate singing to make his debut a modern masterpiece." Reply

"I dunno why this album doesn't have a higher average rating. It's great not a bad song on it. Does get weaker after track 8 and it's a bit too long though. Favourite tracks: Cochise, Like A Stone, I Am The Highway" Reply

"In the late nineties and early 2000's, Bruce Springsteen was at a bit of a loss. He had recently reformed the E street band for a successful tour, but Springsteen hadn't released an album of new material since, the ghost of Tom Joad, in 1995. Springsteen was also at his best when he had something..." [+] Reply

"Norah's greatest, although the best tracks had already been released on the 2001 EP First Sessions. Great cocktail and fireplace music." Reply

"Fantastic record through and through. The sampling is flawless, and the rhythms are interesting and unique enough in each track to keep you listening. One of my favorites. Not sure why the rating is so low... The album has a 79/100 even though the lowest rated song is an 82..." Reply
