"After dipping her toe in the sea of electronica with Bjork's help on her last album, Madonna enlisted William Orbit to helm "Ray Of Light" and it sure paid off. Unlike other madonna albums that sound like singles & filler, this sounds like an "album" -- a thought-out, cohesive idea. And it's pret..." [+] Reply

"I prefer this one to Core. It has more varied and creative songs imo. Not every song is perfect but this is some amazing alt rock/grunge. And it contains the biggest dark horse of the STP catalog, "Kitchenware and Candybars" Favorite tracks: Silvergun Superman, Kitchenware and Candybars, Intersta..." [+] Reply

"This is my personal favorite Pearl Jam album. A lot of people can't get past the couple fillery interludes, but the actual songs here are definitely their best work. Every time you listen to it it just gets better. At this point in my life I think Pearl Jam was my favorite band, unfortunately tho..." [+] Reply

"One of the great rock albums of the nineties. Live through this, the follow up to debut, pretty on the inside, is a brilliant sneering rock classic.
