"Heartbreaking. Painful. Beautiful. Uplifting --- My Favorite Eels album --- Read up on the back-story behind the "Electro-shock" album, it'll blow you away..."
"I fell in love with this record after ONE listen. Remember the first time you heard the Beatles ? Think of that when you listen to this... (Brief Candles, personal fave...)"
"The Replacements changed my life. My favorite band of all-time. This is their "Commercial peak"... I don't have a favorite, though I love "Let it be" and "Pleased..." just as much as this one..."
""I'm in love... with that song" - Paul Westerberg ---- (I've gotten SOOO many people into Big Star... they're that good. #1 Record/Radio city is also amazing)"
"Mixing pop & politics... what's the use ? WELL... Nobody does it better than Billy Bragg. His love songs are gripping, his political anthems poignant. A true storyteller, a true gent."
"Forster & Mclennan... one of the GREATEST musical tandems of the last 30 years. This is 1980's alternative... a lot of gorgeous ballads, great love songs (check out "liberty belle" as well...)"
"You might hate me if I told you that I like them more than Husker Du. Well, it's close... but this album. WOW. When I think of 1990's alternative, I jump to this amazing record..."
"Fell in love with this one right away. Shoegaze/pop rock with HUUUGE hooks and compelling lyrics. This is the "NEW" awesome band you haven't heard... yet...."
"A truly excellent MTL rock band. This is a great compilation of their stuff (which is surely discontinued now.) If you live in MTL, go to "Paul's Boutique" on Mt Royal, pick up Alex Soria's solo cd."
"Although most are familiar with his earlier stuff, along with "Fun" and "Discovered...", This is my favorite album. "some things last a long time" & "True love..." are gems."
"ONE OF THE BEST BOX-SETS YOU WILL EVER SEE... (along with Phil Spector's "Back to Mono") it's an incredible mix of garage/psych/power pop from the 60's... Pick it up at your local library, SERIOUSLY."
"An amazing compilation. You want TRUE songs of love & Hate... how about sadness, pain, despair, anguish... jubilation and joy... (it goes on and on...)"
"OK, I loved Psychocandy, everyone does. I just like Darklands better... That's me. This is an AMAZING sophomore album... think of it maybe as their "Pinkerton"."
"Great early tracks like "Motel blues", "Saw your name...", but the defining moment of this album has to be the truest, most PAINFUL suicide song I've ever heard. It will give you shivers, guaranteed."
