"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

"The music world needed this album and this woman in the worst way. Badu is the definition of real. There's no pretention, or attempts to be something she's not. There's just the coolest woman in the business putting it out on a soulful, funky record. Brilliant."  Reply

"Jeff Rosenstock seems like the kind of guy who always comes into a party quietly and then just all of a sudden starts jiviing uncontrollably, having a blast but then for no reason starts striking random people and then gets punched right in the face and afterwards when he's home with a broken jaw..."  [+]  Reply

"An incredible recording under any circumstance, but considering Leonard almost undoubtedly knew this would be his last and the health problems he endured, this is even more remarkable. It is difficult to pick out any highlights as it all flows so beautifully but I have to mention Treaty, which I ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is such an underrated album. Sure, it didn’t break the mold like Sgt Peppers or Are You Experienced, but it combined the best parts of those kind of musical revolutions at the time and perfected it. So what if the concept doesn’t hold up, the music still does. Steve Marriott is also the best..."  [+]  Reply

"Johnny Cash stripped down to his bedrock. His career has just taken off, but he wasn't an icon. He had to deliver quality to stay on top. Did he ever. His tales of heartbreak, love, and paying his dues are highlighted by his sparse baritone voice and simple song arrangement. Country has never bee..."  [+]  Reply
