"Not that they had a ton of albums, but this one is the most underrated. They're at the top of their synth-pop game, with danceable beats and snarks on love all-around. Pretty dark in mood and lyrics but all songs are still up-tempo" Reply

"This is a really good album by far her best up to this point all the uptempo tracks come one after the other followed by the slower tracks at the end of the album. It runs very smoothly best tracks for me are If, Throb, That's the Way Love Goes & all the slower tacks at the end. A great RnB album..." [+] Reply

"A highly intimate album in which Sting lets go a little the virtuoso playing to tell a story and give it the space it deserves. To be listened to attentively. This one is not a party album. it is to be taken in more as you would take in a great movie or book." 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

"As much as I dislike Korn's musical and commercial career arc, and as much as I despise the godawful mess of mediocrity they spawned, Korn's debut IS one of the most influential and wildly creative metal albums ever. One of the few times I can say a "radio song" stopped me dead in my tracks was m..." [+] Reply

"There are a lot of skits, jokes, bantering and general foolin' around on this album. These guys have skills, but don't really start showin' them off sans distractions until their roller skating jam. I applaud their attempt at abstraction and lack of typical song structure, but it often just comes..." [+] Reply

"Probably better than, keep the faith, these days, has again a more mature sound than it's predecessor. The same old Bon Jovi in there's some decent pop songs, and other tracks they try hard to be taken more seriously and although it's all very competent, there's really nothing spectacular here. I..."
