"Released a year after his suicide, I remember a profound sadness on my first listen of this album. I like Elliott Smith’s previous work, all the way back to his days with the band Heatmiser, and I could see in this heavier, raw set a real breakthrough in his music.

"Rock fans were eager for a decent Rock band in the early 2000's. At this point all there was on offer was screamy punk rock like My Chemical Romance or no fat fast rock like The Strokes. So people jumped on Kings of Leon. Their first two albums aren't that good and overrated. They are weirdly del..." [+] Reply

"The strongest crop of songs he's made since the Smiths ended, the singles Irish Blood, English Heart and First of the Gang to Die are two of my favourite indie rock songs of all time and there are also some great deep cuts on here too" Reply

"To me this is a very meh album, this is my typical response to most of their post Achtung baby output. To me the band has become a caricature of themselves. it always seems like they are trying to be U2 instead of just making music." Reply

"Fantastic album by the Keys, easily one of their best. Some of their best songs are on here, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch. By this point they had developed into one of the best rock bands in the business." Reply

You're basically going down down down, upside-down, left, down, down, DOWN the whole time. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!! (there should have been more !!!!s in this review) There is lik..." [+] Reply

"I've know the band and this album for a few years now - West Ryder was my entry point and love that. I also enjoyed this, their debut album, but after a 2020 re-listen I had forgotten how good it was - Club Foot, Reason is Treason and Processed Beats open the album and are all great along with L...."
