"With this album the Dixie Chicks made a true masterpiece. This is by far their most consistent and most personal album they have released. Considering how strong their three previous albums are, this really says a lot. Rick Rubin's production is simply perfect for their music. For the first time ..." [+] Reply
"Forget about all the new fans that enjoy the silly new album and take advice from a longtime fan, this is their best album. Attack and Release is their 2nd best. Some great hard rock/blues guitar playing and solid singing going on here.This is some real garage rock!" Reply
"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

"Now this is it! The point where the mars volta truly forges ahead into new territory. What an amazing record. Vermicide, Meccamputecture, Viscera Eyes, Day of the Baphomets. Instant classics! Even if you think the rest is filler. The tracks named are so great in their own right. This band truly c..." [+] Reply
"I think too many people listen to music and always expect the lyrics to deliver, while ignoring the actual music itself. This is a band that demands you listen to their melodies, while the lyrics seem to exist just to keep a rhythm. Having said all that, I think these guys are pretty underrated. ..." [+] Reply

"The epitome of a front-loaded album. This thing runs out of gas right around the middle of track five, but those first four tracks are really something else entirely. Shoot the Runner (and its video) are outstanding. The strings at the end of Me Plus One are pretty standout as well. This is proba..." [+] Reply

"This is an underrated album on this site. Writer's Block is by far the best album from Peter Bjorn & John. The sounds on this album are amazing, so eclectic but in a subtle way. It takes some detailed listening in order to hear all of the subtle instrumentation and layering going down on this alb..." [+] Reply

"The greatest live album ever made in my opinion. This is the recording of Bruce Springsteen's first ever show in the U.K. It's absolutely stunning. You can tell Springsteen is fired up for this, a little nervous even. The wonderful, thunder road, kicks off the show in it's acoustic piano incarnat..." [+] Reply
