"Band arrangements are over the top, but his vocals here are at his best, mixing soul, rock&roll, and jazz all into one. This LP is takes "Big Band" and turns it on its arse." Reply

"Queen's most mainstream sounding album since their start is this one. Not a bad thing.

"Despite being largely an "odds and sods" collection of leftovers from previous albums, it works amazingly well as its own album and IMO is the last true classic Stones album before overpriced nostalgia tours and endless Greatest Hits recyclings became the norm." Reply

"Having Coltrane's name is for sure a heavy burden, but if you approach this album with reasonable expectations, it will most likely surpass them. The most obvious reason I can think of is it's eastern influences, but this was far more enjoyable than most jazz I've encountered (admittedly it hasn'..." [+] Reply

"I'm confused by the previous statement. Aside from being on SST in the 80's, what do those bands really have in common?" Reply

"I may be the only person to rank this album #1 but without Robert Johnson & a handful of other Mississippi delta blues singers there wouldn't be any rock and roll. I've been listening to this album for most of my life and I still find new and wonderous things every time I listen to it." Reply
