It's saccharine sweet and full of the elasticity that they've become so magically renknowned for with "Good News".

It loudly signifies that what is to follow could be absolutely anything- metal, punkpop, pre-grunge (That's the grunge before... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~303656767108 Tue, 9 Jan 2007 04:20:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_303656767108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252833468036?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author salivation - One of the most impressive things about Liars is their constant ability to expand into different musical territory while still maintaining that indie/post rock vibe. In fact, they always reminded me of Nirvana, with their stupid clever lyrics and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252833468036 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 14:34:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252833468036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252824555140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author salivation - I would be willing to bet that Leonard Cohen was an old man long before he began to look it. And I would also be willing to believe the possibility that he was born exhausted and out of breath. But I don't know that for a fact.

It's so small in fact, that you could keep it in your pocket, or put it away in a drawer and forget about it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252804566660 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 11:45:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252804566660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252803255940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author salivation - This band has a couple great albums, and for some Horse Stories is their best, but I guess that all comes down to whether you're a horse person or an Ocean person. I suppose you could just combine the two and be a seahorse person, but they don't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252803255940 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 11:09:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252803255940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252793294468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author salivation - I'm guessing the question for most Soundgarden/Rage fans isn't if Audioslave is mediocre- it's "How mediocre are they?". Before Revelations one could say that they are quite mediocre. However, now that Revelations is out, one can easily say... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252793294468 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 10:11:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252793294468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252778942084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author salivation - From the minute of dialogue outsetting M83's Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghouls- a computerized voice repeating in mantra, Sun is shining, birds are singing, flowers are growing, clouds are looming and I am flying the listener's mind is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~252778942084 Wed, 6 Sep 2006 09:11:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_252778942084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252357742212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author salivation - Please excuse me but I got to ask Are you only being nice Because you want something?
