"It's a very nice album to make you feel good! All of the lyrics aren't very hard to understand and Sarah's vocals are very cute! This is a good album if you want something easy to listen to, are a fan of J-Pop and nothing to challenging to think about."  Reply

Tip - get to understand the back ground to this album and you will appreciat..."  [+]  Reply

"Okay, I’m gonna stick my neck out here and go out on a limb for this record: Just Got Back… is the best emo album of all time. For what that’s worth. If you hear the word ‘emo’ and think chokers, comb-over fringes, and running mascara, then I know how that sentence must sound to you. But this cro..."  [+]  Reply

"Well, this is not what I expected. It's less Hipster-ish and more Lilith Fair/NPR-ish. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But if you're going to travel down that well-trodden road, it would be nice to bring something fresh to it. Baker doesn't. Stylistically, the artist Baker most reminds me of ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album just pulls on my heartstrings. I don't care if it's full of music cliches...it's just so well executed and it invokes strong emotions in me, so it's one of my favorite albums at the moment. Emotional, passionate, well crafted, legendary."  Reply

"Recovery is Eminem's 3rd best album. At his most vulnerable, he chronicles the up's and down's of addiction in a way only Eminem could. A more mature offering in delivery and theme, it's refreshing to see Eminem look at this own reflection instead of bashing and judging others; even if that is mo..."  [+]  Reply

"Stylistically, it is another left hook in the bands massive discography. And might be there most quiet record in there collection. However, even when I can tell there is effort within this project I feel a little underwhelmed by it. I know dislike me to oblivion. But that's how I feel. Do want to..."  [+]  Reply
