"A good album from the 90s. Ness' voice makes him come across as more of an Irish or Scottish protest artist rather than somebody from New England. Thankfully the lyrics that he writes are very well done and makes sure that his voice doesn't come across as a gimmick. Ball and Chain is the iconic s..." [+] Reply

"Very good new-age/ambient house/downtempo/synthpop chillout album. I can't rate it based on rating single tracks. This album is an interrelated artwork. Overall very good 90/100. I recommend the Limited Edition including 4 additional remixes. Favourite!" Reply

"The complete recordings by Robert Johnson are better heard on THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION (Columbia Legacy/Sony 2011) with much improved sound quality. Furthermore THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION has got the alternates at the end of each disc (CD 1: SAN ANTONIO RECORDINGS; CD2: DALLAS RECORDINGS), which ..." [+] Reply

"First big album of Heroes del Silencio. Entre dos tierras, decadencia, maldito duende, oracion, con nombre de guerra, hechizo,... Absolutely great songs!!!" Reply
"Heavily influenced by The Stone Roses, Some Friendly also added The Prisoners, Julian Cope, and Echo & the Bunnymen to the mix creating a vibrant and sussed encapulsation of Madchester before it died." Reply

"This one suffered a lot of ridicule around the time of its release. A bit unfair. It's good, solid bluesy rock all the way through. Nothing remarkable but well executed." Reply

"Really good album, one of Bad Religion's better ones. Favorites: Anesthesia, Flat Earth Society, 21st Century (Digital Boy)." Reply
"Where has this been all my life? This is an album that is worth it for the first track alone. “Bloodletting” is a bluesy voodoo groove that sets the tone for this album perfectly. The sinister groove within this song makes its way through the remainder of the album, coloring everything in its den..." [+] Reply
