"Still sounds as fresh today as it did back in '93. This a great album full of punchy rock'n'roll with a dose of punk. Gritty and great. Excellent." Reply

"This is classic Godspeed but in a much more accessible form with it being considerably shorter than their other projects. Due to this the record has absolutely no filler on it, as there is only 2 tracks, and both songs are packed full of outstanding quality. The way they build their songs is mesm..." [+] Reply

"Being age 6 the year of its release, one of the best albums a little me could ever hope to get my hands on. Lauryn Hill commands the world's attention with her voice, and proves so with her success considering what little body of work she has relative to other artists." Reply

"A brilliant album. Modern life is rubbish, could be looked upon as a first in a trilogy, but whether It is or not, doesn't really matter, it's a great record. Great songs in, advert, pressure on julian(which sounds just like Adam Ant to me), and, starshaped. I do think, leisure, is underrated, bu..." [+] Reply

"That's the kind of album, a rapper only makes once in his lifetime, this is Jay-Z's analog to Nas "Illmatic" and BIG's "Ready to Die", and like those mentioned, it's an hip hop classic. From the cheerfull soulmusic feel of "Feelin' it", to the raw desperation of "D'Evil's". From the god blessed p..." [+] Reply
