"Maladroit is Weezer's most underrated album. Green Album disappointed fans too much and Maladroit was just similar enough to the Green Album to get roped in with the same reputation.

"19 only has one review? lol I can't believe that based on Adele's current popularity. I'm not a fan of this album although Chasing Pavements is a great song. It's far too coffee house for my liking. You can tell within the first 5 seconds of 21 that that album in tone is considerably different th..." [+] Reply

"I like to think of this as the second half of The Streets' A Grand Don't Come For Free written from the girl's perspective. I can't believe I never bothered to listen for a whole 10 years." Reply

"Good album by Beck, it starts off really strong but kinda dips in quality towards the last 5 tracks (the No Complaints through Motorcade run is particularly a step down in quality compared to the tracks before them). Still, it's a solid record and it has one of my favorite songs by Beck (Soldier ..." [+] Reply

"REM's 12th album, and second without Bill Berry. It's a much warmer album than it's predecessor, up. In fact, you could probably call it REM's summer album. It was preceded by the single, imitation of life, which is ok, but it's a bit throwaway by REM standards, and feels a little out of place on..." [+] Reply

"These guys seem like a record company concoction to sell hip pop music to indie kids. i know it, best buy knows it, so they should just admit it. Knowing this, the songs still work.

"Great follow up to, limbo panto. Two dancers, is a slightly more reserved, if that's the right word, but in a good way. I'm probably trying to say that this album is a lot less bonkers than the first one. Still, two dancers, is great with strong cuts in, hooting and howling, and, this is our lot...." [+] Reply
