"With every listen of this album (and any other hip hop album tbh) I gain more respect for it. Here's why - first of all, it "feels" like an album, and not just a bunch of songs.. The reason for that are several intermissions, excerpts from a movie, sounds of fighting - which never really feel unn..." [+] Reply

"Wow. Just wow. My love for all things metal in my tender years sadly pretty effectively narrowed down what kinda music I could enjoy listening to at that time. And that my friends is truly one of the sorriest things in life. I hate to use a term transcending here but this really was sort of a tra..." [+] Reply

"A different feel and sound than, ten, but still Pearl Jam. Personally, I prefer the previous record but this is still another top album from a top band." Reply

"Oh My God nearly started a brawl at a basketball game. I had been listening to Midnight Marauders on the way to the game. Oh My God got stuck in my head. During the game, I stole the ball from an opponent, who yelled 'oh my god'. We went down the court and scored, and I was singing Oh My God to m..." [+] Reply

"Britpop's hidden gem. Darker, deeper and a lot more tasteful than many of its contemporaries, Suede's self titled debut plays far better than anyone could expect a first album to go. Of more significant note, however, is that it goes to places its contemporaries could only dream of. The confidenc..." [+] Reply

"What a record this album is! It is full of high quality music throughout the whole release with no song feeling like filler or like it is being elongated. This leads to a very compact, cohesive and fulfilling listen for us as there is no time we aren't entertained on here. The piano is beautiful ..." [+] Reply
