"This is actually quite an underrated album. It's certainly Faith no more's most diverse and eclectic album. It features all kinds of sounds from metal to country, from funk to ballads, all delivered in that unique FNM way. A very good album, you may not realise how good it actually is."  Reply

"I'm glad to see that this album gets at least a little love on this site. I thought it might be down there in obscurity with Daniel Lanois' albums. I feel like more people might love it if they heard it. In some ways I feel like this is a Daniel Lanois album with Emmylou Harris on vocals. It cont..."  [+]  Reply

"My 3rd favorite album is a actually punk rock trilogy spanning several decades if that is allowed - The Clash "London Calling" (1979) which inspired Rancid's "...And Out Come the Wolves" (1995) which inspired Agent 51's "Red Alert" (1998). Each stands as a monument in time. The name Wolves seems ..."  [+]  Reply

"I can't remember the last time I gave an album a 90 on first listen. I think the last time was Blue, which ended up as my number 1 album. This is just incredible songwriting, the lo-fi aspect serves to enhance the emotions presented in the words and the music and isn't there just for the sake of ..."  [+]  Reply

"A new era for SY. After the grunge Dirty, they turned into post rock, and made this beautiful record. The Diamond Sea is one of the best (and longest) SY song ever."  Reply

"This record together with Soundgardens "Down on the upside" was symptoms of an era that was about to end. The newer era, Britpop, was already rising, and people were about to have enough of the harsh and dark metal sound, and prefered another more quiet and soft sound (Radiohead), when it came to..."  [+]  Reply
