"Such a blast to listen to. First time making my way through Blind Melon's discography but this one easily surpasses their debut album for me, at least as far as first listens are concerned. It lacks a radio hit single type song like "No Rain", but it's far more consistent, unpredictable, multilay..." [+] Reply
"A beautiful album centred around unrequited love. k d Lang moves away from her country style and delivers an album full of melancholy and self retribution. Best tracks, Save Me, Mind Of Love, Constant Craving, Season of Hollow Soul and Miss Chatelaine. (First added to chart: 14/06/2012)" Reply

"There are some great moments, and some boring moments, on this one. At 70 minutes, this could've been shaved into a much tighter album, not necessarily cutting songs, as they all have their moments, but trimming down the excess a bit. But then it wouldn't exactly be a Dave Matthews Band album, wo..." [+] Reply

"During Big Pun's unfortunately short lifetime, he released only one album, 1998's "Capital Punishment," and with this one release he amassed the reputation of one of New York's greatest MCs ever. Listening to this album, it's not hard to see why. Pun shows simply amazing technique, lyricism, and ..." [+] Reply

"Neil Young's Unplugged performance comes at a good time in his career when Harvest Moon was just released and he was performing with The Stray Gators. The first half of this show has Neil playing acoustically on his own and the band joins in for the back half. There's a good variety of tracks in ..." [+] Reply

"I have no idea what the point of this is, but this has to be one of the best albums I've ever heard. Easily in my top 15." 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

"'Constellation Of The Heart' is the strangest thing Kate Bush has even done. That might be a tall feat but it holds true for me simply because it represents everything we thought she wasn't. That being a typical 80's artist. Typical 80's artist... THIS IS 1993!!! Get a move on! We can't stay in t..." [+] Reply

"Recovering the Satellite's is their debut but a little darker and louder. This album also has more filler and less classics. A Long December is the best known and would have fit perfectly on the debut. Children in Bloom is and underrated excellent rocker and relatively heavy for Counting Crows. G..." [+] Reply
"Despite the website’a rankings, Gran Turismo tends to be the weakest Cardigans album for me. The high points are definitely the weakest and less frequent, and has more slog than any of the others. Still good, but a weak point in an attempt to rebound from the success Lovefool brought. Best songs:..." [+] Reply
