"Holy shit! I think this might be the best Outkast record. And of course it has to be there debut. Now I do love the hell out of Atliens as well as Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. But this is something else. Putting ATL on the map as well as feeling like a movie where the outsiders ventured in Atlanta."  Reply

"While they had been produced by Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie for almost all their previous work, Lush teamed up with Mike Hedges on this record, and the result is clearer and tighter, and no less potent. Guitars (and vocals) keep building and building to wonderful effect. The 'Split' in question ..."  [+]  Reply

"Honestly this is where Pantera loses me just a little. The vocals take a turn that is too guttural for me. Almost screaming. I just prefer his angry, yet clear vocals."  Reply

"CrazySexyCool is a great 90's R&B record. 10 originals, 5 skits, and 1 cover. It's not unwelcome to hear a Prince song, but TLC doesn't add much to the song and it doesn't add much to the album. There are too many skits and that takes away from the album. Some of them are fine, especially the Phi..."  [+]  Reply

"So far the best Bad Religion album I've heard. Much better than the previous ones. Much more varied, and very interesting lyrics. Oh, and about the re-release of what became later their biggest hit, 21st Century Digital Boy, there's one good and one bad: One bad: The original version is better. O..."  [+]  Reply

"Quite simply, one of the best albums ever made. dEUS arrived fully formed; grown-up's, arty, experimental, somehow inebriated and yet as coherent as hell. For a while, they were rated among right thinking folk as the finest band on the planet. WCS is a true classic."  Reply

"The mid-nineties were great years for albums that brought together punk's two-minute punchiness with the earnest relationship laments that would soon become the genre we now know as emo. Unlike Sebadoh's scattershot early albums, Bakesale is one of the era's best at bridging these two strains of ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is one of my top 100 albums which you can check out together with additionele comments. Albums like this are not made anymore: the moment I bought "Troublegum" it grabbed me by the throat by its sheer energy and it has continued to do so since then. This album doesn't contain one lesser song..."  [+]  Reply
