"This was the last Cranberries album I bought. I kind of lost interest in them at this point. It's not awful or anything but there's not really anything new or interesting here. It's much easier and more rewarding to just listen to Everybody Else Is Doing It for the 600th time." Reply

"Once you get over the fact that this is not a thrash metal album (and, really, why expect that after the Black album?), you should be able to see this is a really solid hard rock album. No, it's not as good as old Metallica, but what is?" Reply

"It was a five year gap between this and their last album, steel wheels, the longest in their career so far. Was it worth the wait? Not really. This is an album lacking ideas and direction. The first two tracks, love is strong and you got me rocking are ok, but they're obviously a desperate attemp..." [+] Reply

"By this point, their solo work had far surpassed what they were doing as a group. Despite that, this is still Grade A hip-hop." Reply

"With this album, Bon Jovi proved they were legit and grunge wasn't going to push them into retirement. This is a focused rock record that combines the fun of arena rock with the seriousness of modern rock at the time. It also features some of Richie Sambora's best ever guitar playing. Little Bit ..."

"I do like me some Alt-Country, but not the soppy heartbroken cowboy Alt-Country style ( Ryan Adams ‘Heartbreaker’ excepted, Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch etc) but rather the hard drinking, bar fighting bad boys Alt-Country style and that is why I love Uncle Tupelo and this album in particular This i..."

"It's definitely a daunting album. 16 tracks, and only one is under 4 minutes (its 3:58). It doesn't feel quite as monotonous as that that would make it seem, because lots of tracks have hidden little interlude beats or other things that add a little variety to the feel. They are interestingly pla..." [+] Reply

"Mad beat poet fronting a junkyard jazz ensemble that would make Tom Waits proud. Absurdist lyrics at their best. It's too bad they never came close to matching this stunning debut again." Reply
