"arguably the band's best album and absolutely they're most underrated and misunderstood. the rhythm section is as strong as anything u2 has done. adam clayton and larry mullin jr are playing at another level that we don't see much from u2. by this point in his career, bono has backed down from sh..."

"As a stand alone album this is pretty decent, in comparison to the debut it is pretty poor. Looking back now, the 4-5 year wait after the debut seemed like a lifetime and it ended in disappointment of course, but when I think of music 5 years ago from today it only seems like yesterday - the joys..."

"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

"This album is part of my top 100 you can check out with additional omments. Neil Young had always been one of my favorite artists, both because of his side as his more electric burst especially with Crazy Horse. "Weld" is the perfect example af the second especially because it's a live rendition ..." [+] Reply

"Great hard rock/blues rock album. Best 10 songs average is 95,7/100 and the album can get great 95/100. I love it and I can't count how many times I've listened to it. Full scoring: "Livin' on the edge" + "Cryin'" + "Crazy" + "Amazing". Followed by "Eat the rich" 90/100. Notable is also the good ..." [+] 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

"an interesting transition period between Aphex Twin's early laidback ambient techno and the harsher IDM present later on in his career. could very well be his greatest work for people looking to balance the best of both worlds, but similarly to Autechre's "Chiastic Slide", I find his work directl..."
