"A colossal sonic landscape. It takes time to explore all of the deep crevices that make this album such a special place to exist within." Reply

"I dunno why this album doesn't have a higher average rating. It's great not a bad song on it. Does get weaker after track 8 and it's a bit too long though. Favourite tracks: Cochise, Like A Stone, I Am The Highway" Reply

"A thoroughly enjoyable and easy to listen to record that makes you want to come back and discover all the things you missed on the last listen. There is so much to discover on this record and it is also quite a positive record and really lifts you up when you hear this album. The instrumentation ..." [+] Reply

"Can't enjoy this as much as her previous works. And I seldom heard high notes from her now on this record, perhaps due to her aging. But her vocal line still sounds sweet, only less sexy though. It's still a very edgy work when compared to other messes on the current market. Fav track: Nocturn." Reply

"Exposing the real 60's, Kick out the Jams is one of the best albums of the 60's and all time. As doop said, a literal explosion of drugs, sex, and violence. This album is what rock n roll is all about. When Kick out the Jams was first released it was the most controversial aside from Velvet Under..." [+] Reply

"Yes it's Chicago. Fortunately not quite that Chicago. This is an absolutely underrated record, a stunning album, a psychedelic soul rock masterpiece. Originally a double album it really captures that late sixties atmosphere, with stunning songs such as, beginnings, listen, and, I'm a man. This al..." [+] Reply

"Another enjoyable Creedence Clearwater Revival record. Bayou country, isn't as brilliant as, green river, but it's yet another great rock'n'roll LP from one of America's great rock'n'roll bands. Proud Mary, is a classic song, as is the title track. Not their best then, but still good." Reply
