"I am one of those people who have always thought that Kid A was superior to OK Computer. As impressive as OK Computer is, Kid A is the greater achievement because it was Radiohead totally reinventing themselves." Reply

"I think that my vocabulary is not sufficient to convey what this album illustrates in my mind. Its an epic affair. I feel like when I really give in and immerse myself in this record I am sort of confronting and feeling some concept as big as civilization itself. It feel at times like the beginni..." Reply

"Though it may not seem like it to some, this album is definitely the most logical step forward from The Lonesome Crowded West. The pissed off teenager from the last album becomes the much more mature adult here, his anger confined to only a few brief moments on this record. All of the anger over ..." Reply

"This is what you get when you throw everything at the wall and everything sticks. Always teetering on the brink of collapse, Since I Left You plays Jenga with loops. Building a tower so high, you'd think it was Australia's attempt to set foot on the moon." Reply

"While I would say that Jay-Z is better overall, and certainly more consistent over a longer period, Eminem tops him here. Em cannot match Jay for 'flow', but this album shows an incredibly talented young man at the top of his game. His best lines contain some magic combination of venom and humor;..." Reply

"Quirky. Offbeat. Unusual. Tough. This isn't your typical hip-hop. This is where Prince meets crunk. The Prince takes weight on "so fresh, so clean" where the delivery is so smoooooove and Prince's naughty side shows on "I'll call before i come". And the funk on "ms. jackson" is NASTY with those s..." Reply

"An awesome record, one of the best of the 2000's. This is love turned me on to her (like so many people I think in my generation.) The whole album is awesome, but does lose some steam halfway through then picks back up. Because of that, I consider this her second best compared to To Bring You My ..." Reply

"An incredibly impressive experimental change of direction for an alternative metal band of its time. Several undeniable classics such as Passenger, Change (In the House of Flies), Pink Maggit and Digital Bath master the sense of eeriness and metal brilliance. Definitely the high point of Deftones..." Reply
