"The first half is much stronger than the second half. This album, unlike his debut, has much stronger Brit-Pop influences. I am surprised to hear the song "Grace" on this album as I have heard it many times before, but I didn't know it was from this album. I wonder if it would have been a hit if ..." [+] Reply
"I don't know why there are two versions of this album. In the Mexican version, you have four studio songs: Sonoman, Planeador, Coral, Superstar. In those songs, you get a glimpse into Cerati's solo sound. Actually, the title of the album comes from Sonoman, an instrumental piece that ends samplin..." [+] Reply
"Hardest rocking Hip album, oozing the most attitude. Not as many classics as other early Hip work, but the album as a whole shows them really flexing their muscle. A vital Hip album." Reply

"A good attempt at something more. Not as poignant as their first and a bit of a deception in comparison. A worthy listen nonetheless. It's unfortunate they couldn't expand on that since the lead singer took his own life, samurai style. The tone of this album does suggest that Dédé (the lead singe..." [+] 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
"I suppose that with a compilation like this you'll get some unnecessary tracks, such as sitting through 3 takes of "Communication Breakdown", but you should come to this looking for those brief moments where your ear is surprised. Plenty of them to be found here, plus you get "Traveling Riverside..." [+] Reply
"Not the best album ever, but better than a lot of the stuff in this genre that's out there. The lesson I learned from this is that every 1 word Goo Goo Dolls song is better than all the multiple word ones. Bizarre, but true." Reply

"After 2 run of the mill 90's alternative grunge albums, Neon Ballroom follows with and attempt to branch out. The album is uneven with melodic pop songs intermixed with rehashed grunge songs. I prefer the direction Silverchair is heading on songs like Emotion Sickness, Steam WIll Rise, Miss You L..." [+] Reply
"Another great summary and I 100 percent agree with it. I deliberated long and hard whether to include 'Chiastic Slide' or the equally brilliant 'Incunabula' in my chart. I eventually decided on the latter but tomorrow this could change." Reply
