"I know, a 10/10 sounds like too much. The album is certainly flawed, GOD is it flawed. But that is mostly because of the fact that her approach of making music was completely unknown at the time. She makes the song and has a vision and then makes sure she finds a producer that understands her. An..."  [+]  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

"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

"From the first few seconds, the jazz influence can be heard through the melody of "Strange Feelin'" which is lifted from Miles Davis' "All Blues". The jazz tendencies continue throughout the album and make for a great departure from his previously folk-inflected albums. Not only does the musical ..."  [+]  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

"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

"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

"I usually begin by commenting on the production, but here I feel like making an exception., becayse I am such a big fan of his rapping. His delivery is a bit weird, a bit like he doesn't even care anymore, maybe that's why it's so addictive and so memorable. Most of the guests are in the same moo..."  [+]  Reply
