"Tumbling towards ecstasy, is without doubt Sarah Mcclachlan's best album. It's a beautiful record that has influences ranging from Joni Mitchell to Enya. There are great songs here, from opener, possession, to the achingly lovely, good enough, from the sweet, ice cream, to the atmospheric title t..." [+] Reply

"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

"Musically creative with rich layers of synth and percussion. The best parts are when they get into a nice groove with the beats and synth loops, as on "Impact". It can become trance inducing with the extended tracks. Then some parts get a bit too repetitive for too long. And it could have used mo..." [+] Reply

"WTF is 'baroque shoegaze' when it's at home? Some phased vocals and effects pedals aside, I've always seen Giant Steps as a 90s White Album, in which a bunch of scousers (namely a guitarist with frizzy hair and a bald geezer) borrow a dog-eared copy of the Great Merseyside Songwriters Handbook fr..."

"40footwolf summed it up pretty well. It's kind of like a heavy metal band listened to a Brian Eno album and went "well this is fucking boring, I bet we can liven this up a bit." and so they did and 'twas good." Reply

"Most people agree that this was Type O's masterpiece. This was the first successful attempt to meld the melodic influences of the Beatles with Black Sabbath inspired riffs, with tales of love, heartbreak, and little tounge-in-cheek humor along the way. This album gives you thrash, doom, pop, with..." [+] Reply
