"Easily the best Judas Priest album, but also one of the finest metal albums that exists on the face of the earth. Several great songs and perfect consistently throughout the tracks." Reply

"Mos Def and Talib Kweli were respectively in their prhyme while they dropped this album. It has a lot to offer in term of socially conscious lyrics." Reply

"Some words to describe this album: ethereal, dense, stunning, introspective, dark, gorgeous. It's one of the seminal musical milestones in modern music as far as I am concerned. It wraps you up in sound and showers you with waves of beautiful noises. There is nothing quite like this that I have h..." [+] Reply

"This was a bit of a train wreck for example Tell All the People. I recommend Touch Me and The Soft Parade nothing else is too memorable but it's not awful just not up to their standard." Reply

"I was particularly apprehensive to delve into this album. The running time and density that I had been hearing about certainly didn't inspire much confidence. And you know what? It turned out fine, because this album is incredible. Yeah, some of it is a bit self-indulgent and seemingly arbitrary,..." [+] Reply

"When this was released back in 2011 it was on repeat for several weeks on my stereo and Ipod. This may be the greatest pure rock album released in 10 years or so. This is so plain and pure as it gets. Draws on all big references from 60's and 70's rock music. A shame Girls broke up, because Chris..." [+] Reply

"One of the most underrated Genesis albums alongside And Then There Were Three and Trespass. Requires more time and repeated listens than A Trick Of The Tail for it to really “sink in,” but it’s fantastic when you finally start to get into it. It also has a very rich, atmospheric, romantic, classi..." [+] Reply

"I love how beautiful this album is. John was showing this tender side (great powerful melodies), and Yoko was at her best. Everybody loves to bring Yoko's songs down, but to be honest, I think she did great in this album. The weakest songs of the album for me is "Dear yoko" and is sang by John an..." [+] Reply
