"Quintessential 90's rock album. The band was unfairly seen as an imitator of the Grunge sound. STP had their own unique sound which makes Core a grand achievement that has stood the test of time. RIP Scott. You were a genius and the embodiment of the iconic rock front man." Reply

"A solid Tom Waits release. I tend to skip a track here or there, but once "The Ocean Doesn't Want Me Today" sets in I usually let it play through. "I Don't Want To Grow Up" has an instant appeal. The video is hilarious. Don't miss it. "In The Colosseum" , "That Feel" & "Goin' Out West" are some o..." Reply

"Neil's heralded follow-up to the Harvest LP, with many people from those sessions reprising their roles. The results are decent. Aside from retreading You and Me (sounds too much like Old Man), the record takes solid songs and treats them with light acoustic production. Side One is mostly great, ..." Reply

"My favourite Sonic Youth album. A completely different beast to Daydream Nation it may not be as consistent but it's more varied and for me the highs are higher. The solo in Chapel Hill is one of my favourite moments in music." Reply

"Much as I like Dream Theater, I feel that with a lot of their work, they are trying to cram every idea possible into an album and sometimes even into one track. I personally like the slower more melodic affairs like 'Another Day' and 'Wait For Sleep', the latter with its moving piano and subtle s..." Reply

"Great album with dark and at the same time calming vibe, production is amazing, songwriting is very good and her voice is absolutely stunning." Reply

"Most of my memories of this album are of college, dancing in some hot, sweaty basement with a sticky, beer-soaked floor. You'd think those wouldn't be fond memories, but they are, kind of. Check Your Head was, for me, the bridge between rock, funk, and rap that gave me a fuller understanding of w..." Reply

"At the time this was in my top handful of albums easily. As time has gone by it grates on me a little. I guess I'm no longer in need of cathartic-anger-listens anymore. However, I can still assess this as being a top-notch thrash genre album." Reply

"As sweet as these melodies and songs are, I was even more impressed with the band and production. Bob Mould's overdubbed guitars are a tour de force, and create an awesome and nuanced wall of sound. Nice percussion touches and harmonies at times to sweeten the sound even further. Terrific rhythm ..." Reply

"A pretty startling debut album from PJ. A few ponderous songs level off my rating a bit, but there's a lot on here that's great, and still fresh: "Victory," O Stella," "Sheela-Na-Gig," "Joe." And "Dress" is one of her best songs." Reply
