"Adele recently put out a pop album that received raves from critics, extraordinary sales numbers, and a countless number of awards. This was due to her incredible voice, emotionally written lyrics, and flat out enjoyable music. A few years prior, the album that fit the exact description above was..." [+] Reply

"Hit me hard when I wasn't paying attention. Genius." Reply
"Lanegan has one of greatest rock voices of all times, and he uses it at his best on this album. A blast from beginning till end, and another great duet (this time with PJ Harvey). Would trade this album for the entire top 20 of 2004, apart from the Arcade Fire and Nick Cave albums." Reply

"I disagree with junodog4, because Sum 41, like Blink-182, are better when they're serious! "Chuck" is a great album, way better than anything Sum 41 had done before. The lyrics are very serious and dark here. This is a 2004 album, but I feel like the topics they talk about are more relevant than ..." [+] Reply
