"Everyone got all crazy for Radiohead when they released OK Computer, but this album is just as good. It's definitely more mainstream alternative than pretty much everything they released after it, but it's a 90s classic." Reply

"People (especially hipsters) love to hate on Oasis. I can understand; they got quite arrogant, they wear their influences boldly, and they didn't grow much after this. But this is a cracking album. Gifted melodies, clever hooks - the Gallagher boys know pop-rock. This is good stuff. Shame they ne..." [+] Reply

"It's hard to rate this against Siamese Dream, because Siamese Dream is almost a perfect album. I think it's better just because there's so much more to choose from though. Pop songs, soft songs, synth songs, heavy songs, grunge songs, etc. Not to mention, when I really think about it, I like the ..." [+] Reply

"My favorite Bjork album so far. Army of Me is one of the best opening tracks in music history if you ask me. I only wish "It's Oh So Quiet" wasn't included on the album. It's a beautiful song, but it just doesn't fit for me." Reply

"Maybe some of you have seen "The Wire", which is the greatest television show ever made. This is the musical equivelant, even if it came years before. This is rap that is scary good. I dare say it's a work of art." Reply

"Fantastic angst This album would be in my top 100 purely for the fact that it contains the five singles, you oughta, hand in, you learn, ironic and head over.... However it also contains some really great album tracks , which make it, as a whole a fantastic album. Brilliant" Reply

"Almost perfect. It's okay...she did perfect later. This is a much misunderstood album that should be heard by non believers at least one more time." Reply

"I disliked this on first listen. It wasn't an attentive listen. Then I came back recently, and focused on it. I liked it better. Then I found myself playing it on repeat. It's fantastic, so tender and more varied dynamically than Roman Candle. These songs build and grow while Roman Candle's drone..." [+] Reply

"Nothing but the east coast gangsta rap, at its purest most raw form. Melancholic and atmospheric beats and hardcore street lyrics, this is one of those rap records, I'd want anybody to hear, before they judge east coast rap. Simply just way better than anything the west coast has ever come up with." Reply
