"When I think about misunderstood albums, this is the one I always think of. Perhaps that’s because of what QOTSA where when the recorded this album; Songs for the Deaf is one of the all-time best straight rock albums, I’d recommend it but chances are you already have it. Era Vulgaris is not a str..."  [+]  Reply

"Below the Heavens by Blu and Exile is in my opinion the greatest album of all time. With songs like "Show Me the Good Life" and "In Remembrance" its easy to see why."  Reply

"This guy knows how to put an indie folk rock song together with many witty twists of phrase. Opener "fiery crash", one of the highlights on the album, is aptly apocryphal, stating "G force is twisting the faith with superstition / A fatal premonition / You know you've got to envision / The fiery ..."  [+]  Reply

"Unfairly labelled as a disappointing follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut, A Weekend in the city is actually close to being a flawless concept album. From coke in dirty night club toilets; playing to rooms full of bored hipsters; the desire for weekend escapism- the essence of inner-city l..."  [+]  Reply

"Criminally underrated. This album not only has more lyrical wit then her later efforts, but there is also this beautiful theme of having these pop tracks chaotically fall apart. Later albums have an element of chaos but it is more hand-picked instrumentation that is either hit or miss, rather tha..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm not all 55 minutes through it, and my opinion hasn't changed much. This is a really cool album. I'll definitely be coming back to it. I'd also like to note that I just looked at the playclock for my last comment, and it happened to be at 23 seconds. It didn't even register with me that that w..."  [+]  Reply

"Out coming from the typical sounds, this album takes to be the most electronic that Reznor ever made, he gives him time to create 16 different sounds (not the best creativity comparing each one) that every song dives to amaze people while listening, and he still singing sad, negative, creepy lyri..."  [+]  Reply
