"I wasn't a big fan of "Trouble" when it came out, but I heard "Jolene" last week and was blown away..."Jolene" is a masterpiece, perfect arrangement, paints a vivid picture of addiction and lonliness, great vocals" Reply

"I found the British version a this album a couple of days ago with one scratch on the cover does anyone know what it would be worth in the states" Reply
"This is a nice album if you don't feel like diving headfirst into Madvillainy or DOOM's solo stuff. It's like a gateway drug I guess. Speaking of drugs, it's probably better on them. Not that I'd know." Reply

"Not sure why so much hate for this simply because it followed up one of the most loved albums of the past half-decade. For what it is, the album is solid and every song is an ear-worm." Reply

"WTF is 'baroque shoegaze' when it's at home? Some phased vocals and effects pedals aside, I've always seen Giant Steps as a 90s White Album, in which a bunch of scousers (namely a guitarist with frizzy hair and a bald geezer) borrow a dog-eared copy of the Great Merseyside Songwriters Handbook fr..."

"I think this is easily her best album. Some great songs and some that don't get your attention at all. Pretty good overall though." Reply

"A precursor of what was yet to come. This is a very good album and the presence of Neil Peart in the drum stool countered with his lyrical expertise hints to exciting times ahead. Anthem and By Tor set the scene for the classics which will follow" Reply

"This is the album Wilco should've made as the "A Ghost Is Born" 180 degree return to the "Being There" phase. They do everything Wilco did with "Sky Blue Sky", but demonstrate more of a fresher, rootsier perspective. There are elements of funk, rock, bluegrass and punk on this album." Reply

"Evoking dream-pop atmospherics and an undercurrent of psychedelia, Holter expands upon the aesthetics of Julianna Barwick's 'The Magic Place', to create an album that in many ways is not unlike a postmodern amalgam of 'Desertshore', 'Lorca' and 'Rock Bottom'. The sound of piano and harpsicord all..." [+] Reply
