"Soda Stereo is one of the few non-anglophone bands whose discography can give artists like The Beatles and Radiohead a run for their money, pioneering all the way through to their final album. Although Canción Animal is normally regarded as their greatest work, its follow-up, Dynamo, is much more..."  [+]  Reply

"Working my way backwards through the manic catalog, i'm surprised to find a manic album with the soundtrack provided by a mid-80s hair metal band. The vocals are the only thing keeping me from thinking this is a motley crue cover band. Very odd. And as other reviews state, they attempt to make a ..."  [+]  Reply

"I know I might get a lot of crap for this, but as my chart suggests, this is my very favorite Roger Waters album with or without Pink Floyd. The only exception is The Wall, but even that gap has gotten closer recently. I find it amazing and somewhat sad how relevant the album continues to be toda..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the three albums that began stoner rock, this album has a lot going on melodically beneath the surface, which is why it is not just another Black Sabbath clone. The vocals, soloing, even base fills are playing harmonies which give the feeling of depth under the wall of sound power chords. ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is all about love. Love for music, women, drugs, alcohol, life, and reggee/punk rock music. "Punk rock changed out lives man" is how the album starts out, and the boys in Sublime let it show throughout an infectiously groovy album. The main man behind the band is Mr. Bradley ..."  [+]  Reply

"Certainly one of Morrissey's best solo efforts, it sounded a little like a Smiths album in 1992 and continues to do so. It's always a good sign, when the poorest effort here (Fatty) never fails to raise a smile."  Reply

"A band that seems to be too easily and too often dismissed, I think. Change is formulaic, you might charge, but it is still beautifully executed. Holy Man is a super rocker. No Rain is a modern rock radio staple and deservedly so. But the clincher here is Tones of Home, a melodic rant against mis..."  [+]  Reply

"This was the album that got me into music. I found an old scrathed cd of it in the garage one day. For some reason I decided to put it in a cd player even though I was never really in to listening to music... Then the whole album electrified me. Megadeth really nailed this one. They took a more c..."  [+]  Reply

"After "No Depression" by Uncle Tupelo, this was the most important Alt Country recording released at the time and superior to Uncle Tupelo's March 16-20, 1992 of the the same year which oftentimes sounded like a bunch of college students trying to channel their inner Woody Guthrie. Instead we're ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is my favourite XTC album. The band further expands the colourful, psychedelic sound of Oranges & Lemons, but the compositions are more harmonious and in many cases more sensitive than on the previous album."  Reply
