- Reprise  |
"The
Real Thing manages to cross boundaries and blend genres. In fact,
it was a direct inspiration to today’s rock-rappers like Kid
Rock and Limp Bizkit..." |
|
| 1998
- Astralwerks  |
"...what
makes this particular disc special is the fact that it’s appealing
to listeners usually uninterested in that variety of music." |
|
| 1995
- Reprise |
"...It
could’ve been better." |
|
2006 - Rhino |
"If
you’re looking for an overview of her career with some of
her most notable songs then you should definitely pick this new
disc up." |
|
| 1999 - Warner
Bros. |
"Nothing
is extraneous and nothing is boring. The Flaming Lips (and for
that matter Coyne) has proven that they are a band to watch and
respect." |
|
|
2005 - Shout Factory |
"All the warts, blemishes,
and oddities are here in bright Technicolor. Nothing is glossed
over or made pretty for the sake of the movie." |
|
|
1999 - Sony  |
"The fact that I am
not drawn to many of the songs is also a surprise. Ben Folds Five
and
Ben Folds as a solo artist usually impress me. This album just
seems melodramatic, over-thought, and in the end fails to connect
with me..." |
|
| 2001 - Epic |
"...his
voice, his words, and his piano...they are far too perfect for words." |
|
| 1996
- Communion 
|
"Unpredictably
paced, pointlessly arranged, and badly navigated..." |
|
| 1999
- Interscope |
"There
aren’t any major problems with the music, vocals, or production
aside from my dislike for the synths. Rather, issues arise with the
songs because they all sound alike." |
|
| 1995
- Roswell
|
"Grohl
creates growling and loud music. The kind of music I like. The kind
of music that all real rock fans like." |
|
| 1995
- 550 Music |
"It
shows great potential, but nothing more." |
|
| 1997
- Dreamworks
|
"...a wild, exuberant album. It lacks the lyrical loveliness
of Beck but often smacks of inspiration in the production department." |
|
| 2004 - Domino
|
"With
a sound most similar to the urgent, anxious indie rock of bands like
the White Stripes or the Strokes or something of that ilk, the five
members still manage to make their material sound new and interesting." |
|
|
2005 - Domino |
"It is fun and lively
and ultimately cool, but outside of the aforementioned Eleanor
Put Your Boots On it doesn’t shed any real light on the band’s
enigma." |
|
| 1994 - Mammoth
|
"The
songs are cute and the arrangements are sweet. Unfortunately “cute
and sweet” are never enough for me." |
