"why? is one of those freaky artists that is pretty unclassifiable, i guess mostly part indie pop, part hip-hop. "Alopecia", the falling apart of a man (by the folicle), starts off "i'm not a ladies man, i'm a land-mine" in "the vowels, part 2", and so starts the falling apart of the narrator endi..." [+] Reply

"Badu really lets loose on this one. None of her earlier albums thump like this one. Easily her most hip-hop influenced work. You feel the confidence on this record. However, I find it a tad unfocused at times. While I enjoy the freedom, a little more control would greatly enhance the sound." Reply

"Gojira's best album, a thundering beast of epic proportions. Slightly better than From Mars to Sirius due to a better focus with less repetition. Both albums make up there best to date though. The Art of Dying is one of the best progressive metal pieces these ears have ever heard." Reply

"For me this is by far her best album. Diminshing returns with each one she does to the point I havnt got the last. This is when she sounded least contrived and wasn't sounding like people expect eg. Joni mitchell. Music press will tell you each one she does is better that the last." Reply

"My true score would be more of 86, but I rounded up. Very good album that I was surprised had more focus than their other albums. The first half was incredible and the second half (after Canadian Girl) had it's moments. It lost a bit of steam in the last few songs. I'd say if you're a fan of Roy ..." [+] Reply
"I enjoy this album quite a bit. Only problem is the song structure stays pretty similar throughout the album. Still a good bunch of tunes." Reply

"Years after its release, I have found what I initially considered to be merely a "good" album, is actually one of the best albums. The vibrant energy juxtaposed to the sometimes antithetical lyrics, the snarky teen angst, the clever wordplay. Every line in every song is worth repeating in your he..." [+] Reply
