"I always wondered why these guys never did a Bond theme? I guess it's probably not a good idea to have a title sequence that's better than the actual movie." Reply

"well, ironically it's become one of my favourite albums.. perhaps it was a little unlike what i was accustomed to hip-hop-wise, even nas-wise for that matter.. and after declaring my indifference for it, i actually found myself listening to it all the time.. and it soon painted this awesome pictu..."

"Oh man, what a great album. When I first got my copy I would just listen to it on repeat for days, it never fails to make me happy, the catchy tunes and rockin solos keep me coming back to this day. Ending with such an innocent song about love like Only In Dreams, just sends chills down my spine...." [+] Reply

"Ignore my previous comment. Upon relistening to this album several times in the past few days, I can quite confidently say that it's on par with, if not actually better than, Morning Glory. "Rock n' Roll Star" is an instant classic, as is "Live Forever", but the true gems on this one are the less..." [+] Reply

"If someone told me even 5 years ago that I would ever profess to being a Nine Inch Nails fan, I would have called them a bald-faced liar. Even more so if they had said I would put one of their albums in my personal top ten. Yet, here we are, with The Downward Spiral claiming a position on my list..." [+] Reply

"It's not "grunge". Don't expect your usual short songs, boring repetitive pop hooks in 4/4 time we've come to expect from the indie genre. The musicianship is fantastic. You can really tell everyone's actually listening to each other. And fabulous sound textures without the use of electronic inst..." [+] Reply
