These lovingly remastered and richly expanded editions of the Smashing Pumpkins 1991 debut Gish and 1993's mainstream breakthrough Siamese Dream soundly prove that the band's place in rock history is firmly cemented.- Posted Nov 29, 2011

Critic Score 90
A massive concept album that is so gluttonously huge-sounding that it makes The Wall sound like a Sebadoh record. [#10, p.94] -

The new songs are some of the best they've ever recorded, and just finishing this collection is a big testament to their staying power. [#10, p.89] -

The Blue Album is buxomly abundant with the Orbital's usual cinemascopic electronic psychedelia. [#12, p.100] -

Another smartly executed step into the strange grandeur of Mr. Waits. [#12, p.94] -

Schizophrenic, stark, and even with its pretentious theatrics, this is an amazing record. [#9, p.104] -

Critic Score 90
Sure politics can be a bit boring... but the intense symphonic crescedos and bombastic drums on this record are exciting enough to keep even the most apathetic of you on board. [#12, p.103] -

Critic Score 90
[The Ravenonettes] help to remind us what makes harmless romantic music like Bobby Fuller and the Ronettes so perfectly dark. [#6, p.88] -

It's exactly the record that everyone hoped Spoon would make. [#15, p.98] -

Despite all of the concentrated production, these mellow, easy-going songs still sound completely effortless. [#15, p.97] -

Annie is to Kylie Minogue as Kasabian is to Primal Scream: same song, different packaging. [#16, p.97] -

A masterful submersion in the pop allure of ambient and house music. [#16, p.94] -

Let's just say the word "repulsion" doesn't fully sum it up. Enjoy the violence. [#16, p.96] -

If this record doesn't break in a major way, it will not only be a shock, it will be a damn shame. [#17, p.99] -

Critic Score 90
[Many] of the songs submerge the rock and roll swagger of Your Arsenal in dramatic atmospherics, making ofr an astonishingly immediate visceral experience. [#20, p.91] -

Critic Score 90
This is the band's most cohesive, accessible, melodic and lyrically viscous record to date. [#21, p.99] -

Critic Score 90
The fuzzy grooves on the record stand out as sicker and more focused than anything the United States of America or Morricone ever splattered onto a canvas. [#21, p.93] -

Critic Score 90
Yet another firework-filled post-modern work of true art. [#24, p.89] -

Critic Score 90
The one-man result: breezy soul tracks with pop structures, chill vocals and a grab bag of flourishes recalling everything from McCartney to Prince. -

This is meat and 'taters rock mixed with the Devil's blood. [#24, p.90] -

Critic Score 90
You have not only a Bjork that's fun again, but an album that is simultaneously politically charged, esoteric and glossy with mainstream appeal. [#25, p.88] -

Critic Score 90
While Boxer lacks a knockout punch like last album’s 13th round uppercut “Mr. November,” all scorecards still have the National besting David Berman to remain indie rock’s “Great White Mope.” -

You may say, with all its funky breaks and organ spells, that The Mix-Up is the last album you’d expect the Beastie Boys to make; but really, it could’ve been the first. -

Wildly alive, majestic and by turns brooding and raucous--often within the same song--The Stage Names burns with all the loneliness and adventure of a never-ending road trip. -
