"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

"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

"The New York Dolls' first LP is a confident sounding release chock full of good rockin' catchy tunes. The band plays with a sense of wild abandon that is infectious." Reply

"Why no-one else has seen fit to comment on this work of unmitigated genius is beyond me. I've got 3 things to say about this LP - 1. it's one of the only JA LPs you can listen to from start to finish and think "you know what, this is an album, not a collection of singles with a few fillers chucke..."

"This entire album is instrumental and it’s post-rock at its absolute best. It’s tough to explain this album, it has almost immeasurable depth and breadth, like listening to a beautifully crafted symphony. If you’re familiar with the band Explosions In The Sky, then you’re familiar with this type ..." [+] Reply

"I don;t think it's so much an album about the end of times as it is a study of the human soul in an enviorment without the artificial conviencies of modern society to distract us. It's a stark, thorny album that never gives you the pat on the shoulder we all seem to eventually be asking for, but ..." [+] Reply

"You’ve just had the perfect day. Sun drenched and bone tired, you gather up your things with your friends. There is sand in your hair and on your bare feet, but you don’t care. You can wash it off tomorrow. You pile into the car laughing about some inside joke that no one outside that day would e..." [+] Reply

"I want to say that it's better than Aja but it was such a long time since I listened to that record so I would have to give it another shot before making a determination. But. I do maintain that I believe it would have more of an emotional impact if it was less over-produced, though I do understa..." [+] Reply
