"I don't get all the really low ratings for this album. Seems like quite a likeable album to me. Not great, but if you liked it in the 90s, still makes for interesting listen every couple years or so. That voice is somewhat of a novelty. Most songs are catchy even if you can't quite remember them ..." [+] Reply
"Mariah Carey love her or hate her has an amazing multi faceted voice. She has made 4 really good albums this being my 2nd favourite, Music Box was a huge album all over Europe and is still her biggest selling album.

"When Sepultura decided to go for a more groove metal sound, it definitely paid off. The singles from this album are amazing, especially ''Refuse/Resist.''" Reply

"With 'Incunabula', the Manchester duo Autechre created a distinctive form of postmodern electronic music that was a vast improvement on the standard techno/'chill-out' music of the period. What separates Autechre from the crowd is the carefully calibrated nature of their music which they emphasiz..." [+] Reply
"Great, jazzy beats throughout the whole album and rapping is very good too." Reply
"This album seemed to come from nowhere and was pivotal to the whole early 90's alternative movement. It is one of my favorite albums and is solid all the way through. It is a mix of soft and catchy tunes with hooks and sideline diversions." Reply

"I was 11 years old when this album came out. My brother had just started learning to play bass. Naturally, this is the record he wanted to learn to play. Taking his lead, this quickly became my favorite album of that time. I was obsessed. Calypool's bass still sounds like no other." Reply

The band had a good record company enthused about promoting a good record, and good ..." [+] Reply

"Rich layers of instrumention, enjoyable if not all that impressive. Maybe at bit overproduced at times - everything but the kitchen sink, sort of thing. Bit too much keyboard. I liked the funky bass, guitars and horns. Some good moments when they let their players riff, e.g. end of "Revolution 19..." [+] Reply
"Sounds like Zappa mouth raped Trent Reznor, shot a mutated semen load into his belly, and laughed a few weeks later as he watched Mr. NIN shit out this strangely awesome brood. Great album." Reply
