"Jeff Buckley isn’t only the most beautiful voice of the century, in my opinion; he’s also the most under-rated artist, with no doubt.

"well, ironically it's become one of my favourite albums.. perhaps it was a little unlike what i was accustomed to hip-hop-wise, even nas-wise for that matter.. and after declaring my indifference for it, i actually found myself listening to it all the time.. and it soon painted this awesome pictu..."

"Makes you nostalgic for some stereotypical American high-school/college fantasy life you never lived. Loud and bold pseudo-grunge sound with positive undertones that makes it wonderfully upbeat. Insanely catchy but without the usual cheesy baggage you get with other pop songs. Yet, it's hardly an..." [+] Reply

"To fully "get" this, it helps if you were there. Northern. A bloke. 15-early 20s. At the time of release. Lamenting the roses going AWOL, the Mondays going a bit wrong. Sick of grunge and ripped jeans and flannel shirts. Tale end of shoegaze. Verve never fulfilled the glory of the eps on the debu..." [+] Reply

"If someone told me even 5 years ago that I would ever profess to being a Nine Inch Nails fan, I would have called them a bald-faced liar. Even more so if they had said I would put one of their albums in my personal top ten. Yet, here we are, with The Downward Spiral claiming a position on my list..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic release that shows a very different side of Nirvana that I wish they would have been able to explore more on record. I'm glad Cobain stuck to his guns and played mostly covers and album tracks because it makes this Unplugged far more interesting than most of them. I also love that they ..." [+] Reply

"The peak of Soundgarden's recording career. A brilliant masterpiece, one of the nineties great records. Black hole Sun, is obviously a standout, but there are a wealth of great songs here. My wave, spoonman, and, fell on black days, are all excellent. An album destined to be a classic." Reply
