"2018 a new LP-version entered the market with 8! bonus tracks. I promise you it's well spent money on Tidersticks epicentre, their absolute peak. Curtains is more magic than than most souls can handle. It's distilled raw beauty." Reply
"Having much, much less swing than Snivilization, I don't get why this one is on top. On the first two tracks they rely on a very dull and basic form of a Chemical Brothers styled drum loop, so that all the enjoyment has to be found in the ambience, which isn't that good in the first place, and wh..."

"Caifanes had been flirting with Mexican elements in their music ever since their debut, but it wasn't til 1992's 'El Silencio' that they decided to fully commit to the idea of making Rock Mexicano, and this is reflected on the album cover, which features a combination of pre- and post-Hispanic ar..."

"Hit after hit, this is their most solely fun album. Just because something is silly does not mean that it is disingenuous. Josie is my favorite track" Reply

"This is my all time favourite album. The layers of guitar, the ingenuity of instrumental, the pain of the lyrics and the feeling of the voice are all perfect in my opinion. If you are not willing to give this album 3 or 4 listens, don't bother. You will not like it the first time, however, if you..." [+] Reply
"Music critics started calling this sort of music "math rock" because they got tired of having to use terms like "angular," "abrasive," "aggressive," "rhythmically complex," "sharp-edged," "start-stop," and "spiky" all the time. Also, I suspect they didn't really like it, so they figured if they a..." [+] Reply

"Not as good as the albums before and after. They just don't sound all that inspired here, although "Monochrome" is a lovely way to wrap things up." Reply
"That`s a good album with nice songs. It has just one problem: neil Young did lot`s of good albums and i listen to this one very rarely." Reply

"Definitely the high point of what I have heard from them so far. Some singles strike you with their song writing chops. More hooks than a locker room. No nonsense simple, easy, well put together guitar music. See the cover? Just the guys standing there? Yeah, that is all they need. No tricks, jus..." [+] Reply
