"Very nice compilation with 2 new great tracks - superhit 'Justify My Love' and unfortunately, so criminally underrated 'Rescue Me'. Also, I love new version of 'Like A Prayer'" Reply

"Galaxie 500's last record was their finest hour, achingly beautiful, Galaxie's slow-core is a masterpiece in understatement." Reply

"Excellent album by Jellyfish, grew immensely on me just like Spilt Milk did, though obviously not quite as much. The slick production was definitely a put-off at first, but after loving Spilt Milk I started to realize how good the tunes on Bellybutton were underneath. It's weird how much of this ..." [+] Reply

"Another good INXS album, but then they all were from Shabooh Shoobah until Full Moon, Dirty Hearts. Not up to the standard of LLT, SS, The Swing, Kick or WTWYA, but not too far behind. INXS classics in the first three tracks and Bitter Tears, all up there with their best tracks but there are just..." [+] Reply

"Outstanding dark, gothic album with great riffs and wicked lyrics. I wouldn't have though Jim Steinman and Sisters of Mercy made for a good marriage, but the two Steinman-penned songs, More and When You Don't See Me, come across perfectly. The rest is also excellent, especially the title cut and ..." [+] Reply

"Honestly, I really think this album surpasses Danzig in every way. It is so undeniably good. Danzig has a lot of tracks that can get old at times, but I could listen to this over and over. Highlights include 777, Her Black Wings, and Tired of Being alive for me. Worth a listen, maybe 9." Reply
