"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

"Very good indie/folk rock album. Best 5 songs average is 92/100, album gets 90/100. Beautiful songs from beginning to the end. Best songs are "Mr. Rock & roll" and "This is the life" both 95/100, followed by "Poison prince", "Youth of today", "Run" and "Footballer's wife" all 90/100. All (!!) oth..."  [+]  Reply

"Now if our pop music stations played this I might actually listen to the radio more. Underrated artist! Roisin Murphy is awesome! Artist like this should be praised more in America."  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

"i prefer their upbeat stuff, so this was a slight disappointment. Now, the slower-tempo'd songs are still catchy with multiple choruses, but they're just not the toe tappers like from the previous 3 albums. But you wouldn't know it from opener "my rights versus yours" which has a slow build, but ..."  [+]  Reply

"Basically a re-release of the, remasters, album from 1990, with an almost identical track list, repackaged with new cover artwork. You can't argue about the quality of songs though. I don't personally like to rate and comment on compilations, but I need to bump my points up to get to level seven."  Reply

"Having listened to this album a number of times, I finally get it. Disturbing, angry, quizzical, otherworldly, fascinating, funny, and very very beautiful. And Robert's voice floating over it all, haunting, wavering and honest. It's every bit as good as "Rock Bottom" if not better."  Reply

"I think Dream Theater dropped the ball a little bit here. On first listen, I found the album to be satisfactory, but repeated listens just drag it down. It's too cheesy and overblown for my tastes, especially since Octavarium promised a more atmospheric and mature direction. Songs like The Dark E..."  [+]  Reply
