 A good album, very good...but the best is yet to come.

 What’s missing is the completely crystalline sincerity present in the Fugees’ subsequent work.

Fugees' debut album 'Blunted on Reality' showcases their early hip-hop talent combined with political and social commentary. While lacking the soulful depth of their later masterpiece 'The Score,' this album reveals strong tracks and potential.

Overall, it's a solid foundation signaling greater things to come. Discover the roots of the Fugees' iconic sound—listen to 'Blunted on Reality' and witness their evolution firsthand!

 If you think Blige is the typical chart-topping mainstream artist... you are mistaken.

 Why make an album that favors EXCLUSIVELY the most commercial and most 'billboard style' songs? The repertoire of this singer is vast... but in this album, we didn’t like her.

The review criticizes 'Reflections (A Retrospective)' for favoring commercial hits over Mary J. Blige's deeper, more introspective work. Key albums like 'Mary' are absent, and the tracklist skews toward recent popular songs rather than a balanced career overview. Although Mary J. Blige is highly respected as the queen of hip-hop soul, this compilation fails to convey her artistic range. The reviewer expresses disappointment that this album seems aimed more at sales than showcasing Mary’s full talent. Discover why Mary J. Blige’s 'Reflections' may disappoint fans seeking her true artistic essence.

 "Quello che non c’è turns out to be definitely the most SAD album of Afterhours."

 "The allegories present in previous works fall away, leaving room only for immediacy, raw and sharp, and for protest, be it social or individual."

Afterhours' 2002 album 'Quello Che Non C’è' marks a dark, intimate, and psychedelic shift in their style. With multi-member lyric contributions, it presents raw emotions and social protest. The album is considered the band's saddest and most direct work, featuring standout tracks like 'Varanasi baby' and 'Bye Bye Bombay'. It's a powerful and resounding step in their evolution, captivating fans with its immediacy and bitterness. Dive into Afterhours' haunting 'Quello Che Non C’è' and experience the raw emotional depth of Italian psychedelic rock.

 Finally, after ten years, this woman produces something decent.

 Alanis Morissette comes out of that terrible ARTISTIC SUICIDE that characterized her over the past ten years.

After years of fluctuating output, Alanis Morissette's 2008 album 'Flavors of Entanglement' marks a significant improvement over her recent works. Produced with Guy Sigsworth, it features more polished production and subtle experimentation. Though some filler tracks and redundant passages hinder the overall experience, the album contains standout songs like 'Not as we' and 'Citizen of the Planet'. While it doesn't match her early peak, it’s a solid return. Discover Alanis Morissette's refined yet flawed 'Flavors of Entanglement'—listen now to explore her evolved sound!
