Rolling Stone's 33rd greatest album of all time
Superb punk album, showcasing the Ramones' typical fast-paced more traditional punk songs but also their penchant for Motwown style songs.

Not the traditional Zelda game (0 more)
I am a Zelda fan. BOTW is an awesome game but does break from the traditional gameplay style. You are free to pursue the quests in your own way.
I highly recommend a guide if you hope to get all of the extras.
You will die which took me a while to get used to.

Incredible attention to detail including the dialect, costumes and traditional folklore (3 more)
The best child acting I've ever seen in a movie
If you like folklore and traditional tales then this is very accurate to the records
Black Philip
Advertised as a film with plenty of action and jumpscares (2 more)
Uninteresting to those who don't care for tension or history
A fairly controversial ending which divides audiences
A truly unique and engrossing horror for REAL fans of the genre!

Couldn't disagree more on this one of the worst films I've seen in ages. Especially after all the hype around it.

For some reason there just doesn't seem to be enough traditional fantasy elements in this book for me to group it with my other fantasy books. It's not great, but not terrible either.

A wonderful tale
If you like traditional boarding school stories you will probably enjoy this book. Unlike most books of this genre it starts with the school being set up and how it grows.

Enjoyable mystery set in Ireland in 1509 with the protagonist a female who is a sort of judge in traditional Gaelic law. An entertaining book where you also feel like you learned something new!

Rolling Stone's 284th greatest album of all time
Good new-wave album, combining the attitude of punk, with more traditional songwriting and a whole lot of synth. Includes the rocking "My Best Friend's Girl".

A heartbreaking elegy to Nigeria's lost promise
A beautiful and deeply tragic story exploring a family's secrets based in Nigeria. The novel follows four brothers in a small Nigerian village who are given a violent prophecy which shakes their family to the core.

Like most classic African novels in the Achebe-Ngugi tradition, The Fishermen mixes the traditional English novel form with the oral storytelling tradition, dramatising the conflict between the traditional and the modern. It is rather depressing but poignant.
