"Interesting for sure. Fluffy Little Clouds is of course great. Spanish Castles in the Sky is one of those strange tracks that I want to love, the whole vibe and atmosphere and instrumentation of it is really pleasing and has so much potential, and yet its just squandered. The track really undergo..." [+] Reply

"The music scene in Amherst/Northampton, Massachuetts, back in the late eighties and early nineties has to have produced more great bands per capita than any other in history. J Mascis is one of rock history's greatest under-the-radar guitar gods, underrated perhaps because his extravagant soloing..." [+] Reply

"This was Prince's first full album with the New Power Generation. It's a very good album that sounds totally fresh. My friends sometimes ask how I can have a billion albums by Prince and David Bowie and the like, I guess they think it must all sound the same because they're solo artists and they ..." [+] Reply

"CONTEXT: In the middle of the early '90s grunge era, Sweet created 2 of the best pop rock albums of the decade. The production is a bit too squeaky-clean, but the songs are undeniable: they hook you in, and then keep getting better with repeated listens. MUSIC: A surprisingly diverse collection o..." [+] Reply

"An explosion of hard-edged guitar funk. A pleasure to listen to "Mama Said" has an exceptional sound. Kravitz's songs are tuneful, unapologetically retro and he wears his influences on his sleeve;John Lennon,Curtis Mayfield,Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone are blended into a cohesive whole while making..."

"Green Day were beginning to get their act together with this release, which has quite a few strong tracks at the beginning of the album. It does not hold up all the way though and on the second half of the album they run out of material." Reply

"I love Saint Etienne: their melodicism, accessibility, danceability, cleverness, cool passion and taste. And their impeccable album discography starts with this classy debut." Reply

"No More Tears came as a bit of surprise. While there is no disputing the power of the first two Ozzy solo albums, Bark at the Moon and the Ultimate Sin were relatively mediocre albums compared to Ozzy's previous work (though No Rest For the Wicked, the album that came before No More Tears is unde..."
