"This album is vastly underrated on this site. It's not even in the top 100 of the year it was released. I haven't looked at the entire 1995 chart, but surely this one deserves a spot." Reply

"While a few of these tracks go for way too long, there is enough melodic and hypnotizing tracks to keep you enjoying it. Favorite tracks: Contre le sexisme, Sunday, Female Mechanic Now on Duty, Hoarfrost, Hits of Sunshine, Karen Koltrane A- 7.5" Reply

"Best song is Love Nest. A bit of a difficult album to get into though." Reply
"It should be made absolutely clear that this is bright shiny disco pop tunes, and nothing but it. If that is your kind of thing, this is a GREAT compilation from start to finish. Only a couple of tracks that could have been omitted, and really just Summer Night City mysteriously missing (probably..." [+] Reply

"Powderfinger's 'Internationalist' is a tale of 2 sides Side A is all but perfect that crackles with energy and fizz with tracks such as "Hindley Street" , "Belter" "Passenger" and "Don't Wanna Be Left Out" Flip the record and it's as if the energy has been sucked out and feel's languid in part's ..."

"I forgot how much I liked this album. There is an underlying groove which makes up for some of the repetitive content. Side A is stronger than side B. Different to Happy Mondays but it was this album that got me to buy their back catalogue. Overall this is my favourite Shaun Ryder album." Reply
"Recently I was part of a conversation with some friends about the career trajectory of Buffalo Tom. Among my friends in college, it was undisputed conventional wisdom at the time that Buffalo Tom's first two albums, their self-titled debut and Birdbrain, are alternative-rock classics. The album w..." [+] Reply

"Extreme and violent, a bit experimental. The best thing about that album is it doesn't sound forced or silly with its aggression some metal bands tent to do." Reply
"It truly puzzles me that this man, along with his music, aren't far more popular. I suppose this really just goes to show that the 'Greatest albums of all time' are only the 'Greatest albums of all time' due to the combination of: 1. The obvious towering appeal of their music. And 2. (More import..." [+] Reply
