"First four tracks are amazing dance tunes, very memorable. The rest of the album is slightly a step down but still very good, just the imbalance of quality upsets the overall quality. Aother nitpick is it is 'too long' and could be cut down, even possibly removing some filler. Not a bad song and ..." [+] Reply

"I like Homogenic, but it never made me feel other-worldly and in a sort of ice-dream reverie like Vespertine manages to do for me. Great albums take you somewhere else, on a journey or to a place of comfort. This is why it is her best album. I was a bit surprised to see Homogenic rated higher..." Reply

"It's actually funny how many people don't seem to see what the pitchfork guy was going for in his review. He was caricaturing a young tool fan, who is overanalyzing their music and maybe finds a little bit more meaning in their songs than there actually is, and to be honest I also think that ther..."

"I've listened to these songs from this album so many times and it is with great honour that I say this is the best album I have listened to (within the last few months or so). There isn't a song I dislike from this album because from start to finish, it is fantastic (I never get tired of listenin..." [+] Reply

"I remember 2001... I thought the music industry was spiraling downhill... dominated by boy bands, Shaggy, Limp Biskit, Linkin Park, Staind, Creed, etc... Those were dark days indeed. When the Strokes and White Stripes burst onto the scene with their huge 2001 albums, it restored my faith in the m..." [+] Reply

"I remember this album being easily overlooked when it came out in 2001 by the mainstream, but holy hell it only seems to get better with age and it only sounds more relevant each day by day. This is the type of album people will still be listening to in a 100 years time when it comes to legendary..." [+] Reply
