"Not only is this enjoyable pop, but the lyrics are either very witty, or very powerful. 22 is cruelly depressing, Chinese was the sweetest song I've heard in a while, Back To The Start was disturbingly relatable, and Him gave me chills. Very strong piece of work here." Reply

"Much better than MC5 indeed, than the NY Dolls as well, and about as great as The Stooges at their peak. Some really dirty-ass proto-punk with furious guitar riffs, a flawless record, and it's only 25 minute long. Get on it." Reply

"There are so many songs by Silversun Pickups that I love, but I often find that I end up skipping tracks on most of their albums. That's not the case with this one. Even the intro does a good job of setting the stage. When I browse the tracklist I can hear every track in my head and I love them a..." [+] Reply
"Yes, 2010 in US but 2009 in UK ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Manor ). We always use the original year of release on this site." Reply

"Great album, AIC returned in fine form, even without Layne. I hope they put out many more albums if this is the kind of thing we can expect." Reply

"Porcupine Tree weakest album in recent times. The biggest issue I have with the album is not necessarily the songs but the way they have been put together. It starts off well but into tracks 3 and 4 - it sounds like Steven Wilson is singing live to an audience a medley of his past hits that he do..." [+] Reply
"Nothing great, nothing bad. Best tracks: Wrong, Peace, Fragile Tension, Miles Away." Reply

"A bit of a departure from their first two albums, The Back Room and An End Has A Start, to a more electronic sound. And it didn't really work for me. Although I do like Bricks And Mortar - great song." Reply
"A combination of the neko heard on "blacklisted" and "fox confessor brings the flood" is on display here. "people got a lot of nerve" and "this tornado loves you" might just be the best 2 songs from any album. This album shows many sides to neko, from the poetic side "I'm an owl on the sill in th..."
