"I only recently rediscovered this and realized that this was likely the first album that I fell in love with as a full product. Gaga's truly had it together since day one. Even on top of the nostalgia value, all the songs still hold up." Reply

"The Kills don't like the description of Garage Rock, but I think it's a fitting description. They're kind of like The White Stripes, but the vocals are female (Alison Mosshart aka VV) rather than male, and the male half of the duo, Jamie Hince (aka Hotel) plays all of the instruments. Favorite so..." [+] Reply

"By far the most underrated album I have seen on this site to date. My Morning Jacket can be appreciated by people who are fans of multiple genres. I'm not a big fan of American Dad, but when I found out they dedicated an entire episode to MMJ I had to find it. If you like the show find that episo..." [+] Reply

"It's definitely not my thing (I'm a 54 year-old male). However, I do appreciate that she is exhibiting more talent than most of today's new music artists in any genre. That said, I prefer Jewel's "Pieces of You" which was recorded in 1995 when she was 21." Reply

"Pure excitement with lots of great, great songs. The album is much more then radio friendly dance pop. This thing got a shining world of music in it. But it's just too bad that apparently it's the only album of the band that I can really listen." Reply

"You know, however big a douche he is; however much I hate that my wife got me into his music; this dude can shred; and this album is a killer jam." Reply
"It's sad to see such a great artist pigeon holed. As a life long R.E.M. fan, seeing their stuff on MTV growing up, etc. This is better than Monster in my opinion. I feel it is the right level of pop, edge, and punk rock. I feel it is every bit their sound as any other album. This is why this band..." [+] Reply

"Wonder if I look like a tourist… I don’t envy their roadies. They must break a shitload of strings. They must have like a gazillion acoustic guitars locked & loaded on the racks in order to make a concert work. Because they don’t so much play their instruments as attack them. Fiercely! This is fo..." [+] Reply
