"It's a second-rate "Quarry" sequel. I think disappointment as a career-rebound-followup is what sunk this into my memory recesses. But it's a fun, Morissey tongue-in-cheek album. He doesn't sound as passionate about his work this time around, like this is a cover for a headlining tour or a way to..."  [+]  Reply

"Better than her debut but still not great. Irreplaceable and Ring The Alarm are the best tracks, the rest aren't too bad they just do not blow me away. Her next album was much better."  Reply

"Jill Scott's debut is a masterpiece of musicianship. Her lyrics about loves up's and down's really hit the mark with honesty and warmth. She has a beautiful soprano voice like Minnie Riperton or Deniece Williams but she also incorporates jazz and hip hop. This album takes a few listens but the mi..."  [+]  Reply

"I find it funny that a fairly lo-fi garage band named a song after one of the biggest hi-fi bands in history. Anyone else get my sense of irony? On a related note, "The Anthem" is awesome. Don't diss it. I can listen to the Kidz Bop version and still get pumped up."  Reply

"As you've guys (unfortunately) have noticed, I've been a huge Avril fan my whole life. But when I first heard "Girlfriend" on the radio, I was really disappointed. I felt like all the emotional tapestry that made Under My Skin such an utter masterpiece was gone. And, in a way, it was. B..."  [+]  Reply
