"My first exposure to Doves was this album. I had heard about The Last Broadcast, but my local record store only had this one in stock. The experience was pretty predictable. Mind-blown. Totally floored. Went online and ordered their discography. I'm always impressed by how many layers they can ca..." [+] Reply

"Powerfull album of the great german Industrial Rock Music band. Amerika, Moskau and Ohne Dich are great songs." Reply
"I might go as far to say this is my favourite album to listen to ever, but I feel it's not really an album in the sense everything else is, so I'm abstaining it from my chart. If there was one thing The Beatles weren't so good at it was creating a cohesive body of work - even Sgt. Peppers Feels m..." [+] Reply

"This is a pretty cool album, the first three parts especially. The last two kinda drag on a bit. But part one is awesome and sludgy, and part two has some really fun guitar work a bit reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix. Part three is a pretty cool, and more straightforward song, with vocals. Overall, a ..." [+] Reply

"I think that this was one of the definitive albums of the 00's. Jet's "Get Born" was possibly one of the safest Rock 'n Roll phenomenon's of all time. I mean, c'mon, what's safer than an Australian ACDC/Iggy Pop/Supremes hybrid ? I prefer it to any album that The White Stripes, The Strokes, The V..." [+] Reply

"Nujabes is a Japanese producer who is a jazz rap genius and the main pioneer of the lo-fi movement in hip-hop. Nujabes is one of the producers who has most influenced the rap scene in the 2000s. All these albums are excellents but my favorite remains "Metaphorical Music". "Metaphorical music", th..." [+] Reply
"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

"A strong Iron Maiden album although as with latter day Maiden albums it's short of those classic metal anthems they were so brilliant at writing in the eighties. Still, it's all solid stuff from a band who are still burning brightly." Reply
"This IS their best album. Massively underrated on here. Sweeps you away on a sonic journey." Reply
