"Reves: 9/10 Reves is easily the best instrumental album I have ever heard. Many of the tracks, such as 2 and 3, showcase just how incredible instrumentalists the band is. The drumming on 2 is powerful and crisp. The guitar playing on 3 is frantic, like a twisted version of the James Bond theme. T..." [+] Reply

"The story goes that Mike Oldfield had to commit to one more album with Virgin Records and they'd been on at him to produce something a little more radio friendly. Ever the contrarian, Mike came up with Amarok. One, hour-long track, split up into little nuggets of weirdness. There's barely a movem..." [+] Reply

"Crammed full of singles, slick production (natch), tight harmonies... but obvs. B’s star shines brightest. For me, the apogee of 90s pop/R&B (only rivalled by TLC’s CrazySexyCool and FanMail), and still an album I take out for a more-than-occasional spin some 20+ years since it first landed." Reply

"These guys have very good taste in the music they stole, err, I mean sampled. e.g., The Band on "Check the Technique". I also liked the rhythm guitar, piano, scratching, and nice beats. And classic rhyme rapping, I like the relaxed delivery. Music to chill by, terrific album all the way through a..." [+] Reply
"The album that got me into the charlatans in a big way. They finally hit their stride with this, a big improvement on the previous realeases, and self titled the album as a sign of it, somethink not often done on for a 4th album. The 3 albums that followed it were better but this is still a great..." [+] Reply

"Nice indie folk album. Similar to the Velvet Underground albums after Cale left. I like it, but I don´t think it´s so much underrated: It´s just good but not overwhelming, the songs are not strong enough." Reply
