"Not a lot of albums sound much like this. Very raw and aggressive. They had a message to send and sent it. Suite-Pee, Spiders, and Suggestions are some of my favorite SOAD songs." Reply

"This is definitely my favorite Kate Bush album, so I was surprised to find it so low. The words “too effiminate” for a moment made me lose all faith in humankind; will there ever be a day where feminine will not mean childish or dumb or... you know the drill. And the dislikes are nice, but I see ..." [+] Reply

"Their best album yet. Great mix of prog, jazz, and of course, their brand of psychedelia. Some great, abrupt turns and great grooves throughout. And of course, they get into that classic I'm In Your Mind Fuzz medley groove that was so prevalent throughout Nonagon Infinity and Murder of the Univer..." [+] Reply

"One of the most stunningly beautiful debut albums ever. It's a Brilliant LP, obviously heavily influenced by John Barry, Sergio Leone, and, Shirley Bassey, is effortlessly fuses different styles and sounds to form something utterly original. Some great tracks in, utopia, human, and, deer stop. It..." [+] Reply

"One of the greatest contemporary feel good records ever made. Nice background of their earlier work mixed with saccharine power pop that has a lot of heart with just enough frantic teenage dread and neurosis." Reply

"Most probably the heaviest Sabbath album out there, serving up a plethora of quality tracks. 'Hole In The Sky', 'Megalomania', 'Sympton Of The Universe' and 'Am I Going Insane' being top of the tree in both riffery and vocal delivery. Sadly, I think the cover art is crap and I really wish they ha..." [+] Reply

"A latter day masterpiece from the "Picasso of song". A trip through Americana. Mississippi is the gem here. His delivery is the key. Po' Boy is fantastic as is Sugar Baby. Some great blues. Lonesome Day Blues is badass & Cry A While too (What an odd meter / time signature on this track). I love t..." [+] Reply

"A deeply confessional album which remains solid throughout. Mitski's lyricism is astounding and the record rewards repeat listens to fully comprehend the weighty, emotional themes she tackles, along with embracing all of the hooks. One of the year's best." Reply
