"While Leaves Turn Inside You then Repetition got me into this band, New Plastic Ideas was the album that really left a huge impression on me. The album encompasses some of the things I really love about rock music in its true form, from the raw musical expression, to the intricate melodies and me..."  [+]  Reply

"Wonderful singles 'Take A Bow' and 'Secret' but a bit weak NON-single material. Among non-single tracks I adore 'Forbidden Love' (should've been a single). 'Survival' and 'Don't Stop' are good though"  Reply

"Day for Night was the album the Tragically Hip had long attempted produce. Hints from previous albums including the pacing and cohesiveness of Road Apples with the exceptional songwriting of Fully Completely come together here as the band's masterpiece. In addition to the retrospective approach, ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the album that earned the groop the affectionate nickname of "moog terrorists" among fans. This is mostly pop music, composed of multi-layered analog synthesizers (far more melodic and harmonious than on previous work), combined with Marx-influenced and anarchist lyrics, Can-like bass rif..."  [+]  Reply

"As much as I dislike Korn's musical and commercial career arc, and as much as I despise the godawful mess of mediocrity they spawned, Korn's debut IS one of the most influential and wildly creative metal albums ever. One of the few times I can say a "radio song" stopped me dead in my tracks was m..."  [+]  Reply

"Listening to Teenager of the Year, I can't help but be amazed at the amount of music this man had inside of him. This 22 songs-long tour de force manages to be astounding from start fo finish despite its ambitious length and it's as good, or maybe even better, than anything he did with the Pixies..."  [+]  Reply
