"The closest I have ever gotten to blues was Led Zeppelin, Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, and (ha ha) the white stripes. I picked this album up at a library for a buck and it was pretty mind blowing. The guitar, the voice, the passion, how raw the production was- if this is what blues is like, screw..." [+] Reply

"Nowhere near as good as their debut and one of the weaker Chris Cornell albums I've listen to so far but "Be Yourself" is one of the greatest songs of the 2000s and absolutely hits me with nostalgia the second it begins. Best song(s): "Be Yourself" "Your Time Has Come" "Heaven's Dead" "Out of Exile"" [+] Reply

"For some reason I never noticed it before, but this album is a lot like Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden. And with each listen is grows more and more profound. From the poetic lyrics, to the brilliant musicianship that blends jazz and post rock into lush arrangements. It's an album that seems much simp..." [+] Reply

"Whenever they slow down and write an Alt-Metal song, it always ends up sounding like a combination of Angel Dust and King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime. Combine these songs with Ben Weinman's amazing ability to write the most chaotic yet catchy Mathcore songs to exist, and this album really st..." [+] Reply

"Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 2005. The winner was Genius Loves Company by Ray Charles & Various Artists" Reply
"If you're going to dismiss the entire genre of oasis-influenced soft rock as trite and appealing only to teen girls, then you're going to probably agree with the low rating of this album. That's not something I can entirely fault you for as there's a lot of crap from this genre and time period th..." [+] 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

"Okay, let me tell you exactly why this is a 9/10. As I said in my review of Monkey Business: the philosophy in pop is that the goal is enjoyment and that no method to reach that goal should be looked down upon. And while on MB they did that by fucking ripping everyone ever off; on this record the..." [+] Reply
