"hide was one of Japan's greatest guitarists, and this IS his best album. It has a wonderful variety of songs, the beautiful Flame, the rockin' PINK SPIDER and DOUBT, the exciting Pose, the oh-so-amusing LemonED I Scream, and maany others. If you are a hide fan or J-Rock fan, you will love this album. If you've never even heard of J-Rock or hide, just think of him as a Japanese mix of David Bowie and John Lennon. This is a great album that can be greatly enjoyed by all."

Hide BEST ~Psychommunity~

"This CD is the greatest work I have ever listened to. Psychommunity certainly is a collaboration of hide's best works from his unbelievable solo career.

hide's true uniqueness and ambition shine through in each of his songs. His musical direction is unlike that of any other musician. hide is one of a kind.

Psychommunity has songs from a variety of genres. Upbeat songs like Rocket Dive and Beauty & Stupid, Or total rock tracks like Doubt or Pose. Myself, I can't help but smile when I listen to Ever Free, or LEMONed I Scream. Just hearing hide's voice makes me forget my troubles and smile. Stay free my Misery ^^

I hope that people will look past the language barrier, and open up to hide's music. Whether it's his bright pink hair, his unique voice, or his independant attitude, there is no one like hide.

hide's premature death is a loss that I can't, and never will, come to terms with. I can't believe he's gone, and I would give anything to have him back. But, as long as his fans don't forget his music and what a wonderful person hide was, there is no way hide can ever die...

This CD is the essence of hide's career. hide's music has been the greatest influence in my life, therefore, I recommend Psychommunity to everyone.

RIP hide. I will never forget you."

"hide was the 2nd Jrock artist I checked out. And I am so thankful that I did.

When the album starts off with 'Rocket Dive', you are instantly excited and pumped full of energy. Then, you gradually enter a much slower pace with the beautiful 'Flame'.

This best of was mixed very well. The style changes constantly, and shows how versatile this man was. From the pop sounds of 'LEMONed I Scream' to the metal-like 'Pose'. The more I listen to this album, the more I like it.

Whenever someone is talking about the best artists of Japan (or the world, for that matter) hide always comes to my mind. Always."
