"For my money, this is QOTSA's best album. They went on to make more diverse albums, but they never made anything as slick as this awesome debut. As cool as the otherside of the pillow..." Reply

"Since the 70s there really hasn't been an artist that has put out more than 3 strong albums (usually in a row) and Pearl Jam knocked that usual trend with their 5th strong album straight.

"Once you get past the main single "Loser" you get a great collection of bizzaro tunes. I must be alone here in feeling while each song isn't perfect, I'd still argue that there are no bad songs on it, which makes very interesting to listen to. It's sporadic, trippy, and original. There aren't man..." [+] Reply

"Packed with fun piano-based tunes with nary a clunker in sight, "one angry dwarf" starts the disc off like a raucous party which "Fair" ("all is fair in love") continues (where Ben concludes "Not only am I right / I'm lonely and I'm right") with a nice bass fadeout, but most people know it as the..."

"This is the best of the three masterpieces produced by the band. At the forefront of their sound, were the dream-like naieve vocals of Laetitia Sadier that overlayed unpredictable electronic rhythms and beautifully subtle arrangements. The voice acted as a kid of surreal instrument which blended ..." [+] Reply
