"Japanese hardcore happy-thrash. Need I say more??? Well, just trust me when i say this album is, to most people who listen to it, musical heroin. And yes, the guitarist really IS the best in the world"
"Yes, the mainstream media may have now got hold of The White Stripes, but before millions loved them, a select few loved this. Wonderful from beginning to end, it's the Stripes best work."
"A Manga inspired trip into insanity, life, love and battles with robotic foes, the Lips have once again produced an album which makes you feel glad to be alive."
"A masterpiece of prog rock, from the opening of Untitled 1 to the end of Untitled 8, this is an album which will not only change the way you think about music, but also how you think about life."
"InMe have theire critics, but in my view this is one of the best debut album's of all time, angry yet wonderfully tight and well played, from such a young band this is a marvel."
"While female vocalist's are not my strong point, I'd say Cat Power is up there with the best. This is her greatest achievement, and an album that will leave you contemplating just about everything."
"Although most people say O.K Computer was Radiohead's major musical triumph, for me The Bends is the album that defines the band and the era perfectly."
"The fact that this album even exist's is remarkably, being as it is easily the strangest album ever made (bar none!), the fact that it was made over 30 years ago makes it even more essential."
"At The Drive-In's finest hour, from Arcarsenal to Catacombs this is the most passionate, gutsy rock album of all time, and has yet to be bettered by the myriad of copycats."
"Similar to the Lips's Yoshimi, Mercury Rev's Deserter's Song's fills you with a will to live more than almost any other album. Bafflingly beautiful and nigh on perfect."
"The term 'Headf**k' isn't one I use often, but I can't think of a better word to some up this, the finest death metal album of all time, and the most insane experience you will ever have."
"At just over 30 minutes, this is Green Day's contribution to punk history. Slimline, raw and incredibly catchy, every song is a tiny opus of punk rock anger."
"If ever an album was produced to send into space for alternate races to listen to, then Oh My Gawd is that album. Its stirring, melodic, riotous, impossible to understand yet perfectly simple."
"Brief, unmelodic, noisy, crude. All true, and yet this album sums up what music is all about in just 25 minutes. A shambolic mess of near perfect rock 'n' roll."
"The worlds most under-rated band created this as their debut. Lyrics we can all relate to, performed by talent we can only dream of, this album shows us just what music can do to our very souls."
