"How to define it? Brilliant Full of emotions, an exploration of acoustic and digital instruments all in different layers. The better way to listen to 10,000 HZ, is to turn off the lights and turn your stereo on as loud as you want, you wont regret. Mixtures of electronic music, progressive rock, ..." [+] Reply

"Most solid Slipknot work, achieving what the band tries to do the best. Still, not the greatest thing you've ever heard, that's for sure." Reply

"The visceral experience of a live Radiohead gig is impossible to transmit through a recording however, this did a pretty good job of it. The main 2 reasons for this are the outstandingly emotive and haunting renditions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits. Many a time have I laid back on m..." [+] Reply

"CLOUDDEAD is a world of its own. The atmospheric dream-like beats flow into the album from the edges of space, slowly coming together into a loosely held congregation of the kind of hypnotic and emotionally evocative electronic twinklings and drones reminiscent of some of BoC's more spacious work..."

"Amazing, one of the best soundtracks of one of the best video games of all time...

"I'm in the middle of thinking that this is a work of genius and that it's self-indulgent. Aesop Rock is definitely one of the greatest artists in hip-hop, but this is way too long "Daylight" is a classic though, fantastic song." Reply

"Wow....suprised this isn't much higher up the list for 2001. I really like this album, it's a warm fuzzy reflective offering which has one of my favourite Mogwai tracks....'2 Rights Make 1 Wrong'." Reply

"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God." Reply
"If you ignore the generic bubblegum pop lyrics this album is amazingly catchy and has outstanding production quality." Reply
