"This was the album in which Yo La Tengo began maturing into the band they are today. It was the first to feature the current lineup and the first of their string of albums I would all call "great" (to be clear, this string of great albums continues today, over 20 years later). YLT had some great ..." [+] Reply

"This is a near perfect compilation. It serves as a great introduction to the artist and has all his most popular songs. This was the first Tom Petty album I had and I've since become a big fan. If you are looking for a place to learn about Petty, this is the place to start." 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

"Flo Mounier is one of the best, most technical drummers ever. And Eric Langolis lays down some surprisingly funky bass lines. A Must listen." Reply
"What a cool concept. Each album works on it own, and there are 14 different combinations of discs to listen together before you try all four. What an ambitious project. Playing all 4 together actually works. Try it. Get 3 other music nerds, grab some portable players, sit in a room and time out t..." [+] Reply

"Only man who can match Vai. Melody and sheer creativity" Reply
"INXS were a favourite of mine for a good while, Kick was an album I loved and probably overplayed. X came and went, and then this. I remmeber at the time thinking this was their best offering, and listening again I still do. Quality right through, with maybe the exception of the last track, with ..." [+] Reply
"Before Pearl Jam, there was Mother Love Bone. Fronted by flamboyant singer Andrew Wood who died shortly before the scheduled release of "Apple", Mother Love Bone was a part of the local Seattle scene. They had that something extra that led them to be the first local band to sign with a major labe..." [+] Reply

"Simply put, this is the best heavy-metal album of the 90s, and for my money, of all time. It takes the furocity of Pantera, the groove/classic-rock influence of COC, and combines it with the underground metalcore of Eyehategod/Crowbar to create an epic, southern influenced heavy-metal album.
