"This was their big breakthrough, the album that made them famous to some and infamous to everyone else. They get ripped on a lot by people who make the mistake of taking them too seriously. I don't take this seriously and I doubt Fred Durst and friends did either. It's just a fun goofy rap rock p..."  [+]  Reply

"Although personally this is not my favorite album from them, this is definitely a great album. The band took a different direction in their next albums, but this shows a solid and consistent album through each one of the tracks. Mom In Love, Daddy In Space, Lampshade and Graceland, are my top tra..."  [+]  Reply

"Without purpose, this has become one of my favorite bowie albums. Bowie albums take up about 20 spaces in the top 5000. This is at the bottom for bowie by bea, I really wonder about the credibility of this site when so many of his albums are rated higher than this."  Reply

"Many fans of metal, myself included, see an obvious connection between metal and orchestral music. This is a great experiment in actually merging the two. It doesn't always work, but when it does it's fantastic. "Outlaw Torn" and "Bleeding Me" are two that standout as working especially well. The..."  [+]  Reply

"On this website, Counting Crows album's get ranked progressively worse in chronological order and it completely makes sense. Each album sounds like the last in it's instruments and vocal delivery. This Desert Life has a similar spirit as the debut and is a tighter album than Recovering the Satell..."  [+]  Reply

"For me, this is Our Lady Peace's absolute best. This is an amazing album, all the songs are great from the first to the last. My favorite would be "Blister" i guess, but it's hard to pick just one."  Reply

"The first half is the studio album of original material, the second, a live labum of olldies. The first is as good as anything she's done, and stands with From the choirgirl hotel as a high point in her career."  Reply

"Reves: 9/10 Reves is easily the best instrumental album I have ever heard. Many of the tracks, such as 2 and 3, showcase just how incredible instrumentalists the band is. The drumming on 2 is powerful and crisp. The guitar playing on 3 is frantic, like a twisted version of the James Bond theme. T..."  [+]  Reply

"Crammed full of singles, slick production (natch), tight harmonies... but obvs. B’s star shines brightest. For me, the apogee of 90s pop/R&B (only rivalled by TLC’s CrazySexyCool and FanMail), and still an album I take out for a more-than-occasional spin some 20+ years since it first landed."  Reply

"With the 2nd album TGUK got more professional and a bit more into pop. This album still is one of the best in the (Emo) genre with many many hits on it. Just listen to the opener "Holiday". A gift from heaven!"  Reply
