"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 don't think that this album is quite as good or emotional packed as Diary, but it's an absolute classic regardless. In terms of catchy melodies, the band hits their zenith here, probably the first album to listen to if you want to get acclimated with Sunny Day Real Estate." Reply
"Is not possible to do a single album from two big albums like Use Your Illusion I & II. It seems something like the Greatest Hits compilation of sevaeral years ago... Very commercial!" Reply
"Shortlisted for R&B album of the year at the 1999 Grammys. The winner was The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill" Reply
"Calexico are a band that's gotten a lot of alt-country buzz over the years, but I've never really gotten into too much. This is one of their more acclaimed albums. About half the tracks are instrumentals, and I tend to get bored during those, but the other half are really nice songs." Reply

"Best EP ever. Polyethylene, Pearly, and Palo Alto are some of Radiohead's best songs. Thom's voice really shines in this album, and Johnny absolutely shreds. Shouldn't be a surprise that the greatest album of all time also has the greatest B-Sides." Reply
"i disagree.. the quality of the themes is, if anything, beatle-esque.. who cares if it's instrumental computer-game music? the beatles never changed my life" Reply

"My first JSBE album. I bought it on a whim, thinking they were a blues band. What a silly lad I was. This album blew me away. Dirty, dirty, dirty rock and roll. So much swagger, so much attitude, so much power from a three-piece. Front to back, this album smokes." Reply

"An interesting IDM album for sure. I like the jazz influences a lot. The production seems a little thin an/or dated, but that's to be expected. There are some interesting moments, such as Sordid and Bridge, but also many tracks that overstay their welcome by a few minutes. I think this would be m..." [+] Reply

"Enjoyed the entire album! I am not a great reviewer but I know what I like. Shakira is an accomplished artist...if you aren't sure of this album, listen to a few samplings with an open mind. Close your eyes and relax your mind, listen to the music and her voice..take time to enjoy." Reply
