"I feel that some of these tracks reek early 90's as well as having a song like Shake, which was easily the worst song on the album. However songs like Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, Paper Doll, Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine,A Watchers Point of View, Even After I Die and On A Clear Day were som..." [+] Reply
"If I had to state any positives I have with this album, "Brian Wilson" is very close to being a pretty good song. It starts off decently with just some acoustic guitar and it's pleasant and surprising that it's not immediately terrible. Then they had to ruin it by having like 10 instruments blare..." [+] Reply
"Honestly, I really think this album surpasses Danzig in every way. It is so undeniably good. Danzig has a lot of tracks that can get old at times, but I could listen to this over and over. Highlights include 777, Her Black Wings, and Tired of Being alive for me. Worth a listen, maybe 9." Reply
"One of Cornershops strongest, if not the strongest, album. My gripe with it is I do not understand the inclusion of tracks 7,8 and 9 - they seem to be fillers in an album that has 15 tracks - just get rid of those three and you'd have a more consistent album and I'd probably rate it higher than I..."

"Some astonishing groove metal can be found here, and pretty much every song offers something different, leaving you wanting more. Piss Christ is probably the most overlooked, impressive track here, sounding like something from a sci-fi film." Reply
"This is where Megadeth starts to go for more hard rock than pure heavy metal, but they do it with mostly awesome success. Dave was at his vocal peak here as well. Train of consequences, Toute le Monde, and reckoning day are among the bands classic songs. The band began a slow decline after this a..." [+] Reply
""the gold experience" marked the beginning of the denouement of prince's career. He rehashes a number of sounds from his last album along with a song he lent to tevin campbell. The songs were funky but not enough to make classics out of songs like "pussy control" and "dolphin" like he pulled off ..." [+] Reply

"Layered, intelligent, moving, and textured, this album is not just one of the better albums of the 90's, but of all time. Every track on this gem is solid and wonderful, but if you're short on time, give "Afternoon With the Axolotls" a listen. You won't be sorry." Reply
"I remember describing my first experience with Obscura as "tearing apart my brain and putting it back together", it's a special record." Reply
