"Almost an all-time classic. The opening one-two of "...Political" (all my least favourite SA tracks are those with a blatant political stance) and the cliched "All I Want" are the biggest false start to an album ever. From there, it's chilling and soaring all the way until the penultimate track....." [+] Reply
"Just discovered these guys when FLOTUS came out. Seems they've been great forever, and How I Quit Smoking may be their best." Reply
"It isn't a secret or a surprise that Bush is limited musically. Their follow up to the immensely popular Sixteen Stone has less huge hit singles and more filler. Mouth, Cold Contagious, and Swallowed are top notch Grunge/Alt Songs. The rest of this is merely passable if you love the genre. If you..." [+] Reply
"This is one of the best albums Fishmans ever made, I'd put it just behind 98.12.28 Otokotachi No Wakare as my favourite album by them. The last couple of tracks especially do it for me and Subarashite Nice Choice is just such a beautiful a groovy song. One of my all time favourites." Reply
"I can see where a lot of people hate everything about the spice girls from the way the group was formed to their pre-teen songs. However, it worked and for about two years they ruled the airwaves. I personally like Wannabe and 2 Become 1 the most." 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
"While this is not one of my favorite Sloan albums (as of today, I would rank it 9th out of their 12 albums), "One Chord To Another" is still a really good album. My favorite tracks are "The Lines You Amend" and "400 Meters". Most Sloan's albums have a strong tracklist from beginning to end, but I..." [+] Reply

"Wow! Such an underrated album! Can't believe there are no comments so far! A very influential punk-becomes-pop, awesome lyrics, and probably the one with their most memorable songs. Everything Sucks is the moment when you realize that they have never grown up since I Don't Want to Grow Up." Reply
