"Sharon Van Etten sits on the singer-songwriter spectrum somewhere near Chan Marshall and Will Oldham. This particular album is mostly understated. Another reviewer might have called it "maddeningly slow" and "boring." I have called it a "slow burner." Your call." Reply

"First the album grabs you, with 'Ride My See-Saw', then it intrigues you with 'House of Four Doors' and 'Legend of a Mind', then it blows your mind with 'Best Way to Travel' and 'Visions of Paradise'. Finally, it brings it all together with 'The Word' and 'Om'. The 1967-1972 Moody Blues (as oppos..." [+] Reply

"This is a decent album, it really is. Yet, I just don't see the appeal. If someone could explain it to me, I would genuinely appreciate that. To me, there's a lot of sameness, and a lot of so-so songwriting. I'm listening to this album more and more, and I'm starting to see it, but I still feel l..." [+] Reply

"Small change is without doubt the best Tom Waits album of the seventies. Here, he is fully formed, the sozzled barroom troubadour reaches it's peak. Waits is at the top of his game. While, closing time, was uncertain, the heart of Saturday night, slightly immature, and, nighthawks at the diner, a..." [+] Reply

"This was my first experience of listening Yes. So it was a wonderful experience. The first side is full of great tracks. The second side not quite as strong although it ends very well with Hearts. What a comeback. Still I can understand why this may have annoyed many Yes fans - it really isn't Yes!" Reply

"A typical rock'n'roll guitar album from the Crazy horse. Ragged glory, has a great live feel and is easily Neil Young's best record in over a decade. Some enjoyable songs here in, f*!#in' up, over and over, and, love and only love. The band are clearly enjoying themselves and in turn the listener..." [+] Reply

"This album is immense. An absolute powerhouse. Yes, it does meander in places, but for me it's perhaps the perfect headphones album. Despite not being particularly blessed technically, both rappers hold it down supremely with some fantastic imagery and strange non-sequiturs. And production-wise, ..." [+] Reply
