"No doubts: this album is one of the best of the late 1960's. It has a pack of great tracks ("Mr. Soul", "Bluebird", Rock and Roll Woman" and "Broken Arrow"), along with a immense variability of music stiles" Reply

"A brilliant album, one of the early contenders for album of the year. It sounds quite similar to Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest and a couple of tracks are a bit like Radiohead's In Rainbows. Fantastic vocals, like a less OTT Antony Hegarty" Reply

"Cat's best album. Half of the LP is still played on the radio daily almost 50 years later. Peace Train, Morning Has Broken and Moonshadow are iconic songs of the 70s still known in most households today, and for Cat fans songs like How Can I Tell You (one of the greatest love songs goin round) an..."

"Todd Rundgren is a genius. I got into after Tame Impala listed his as one of the main influences for their album Lonerism. I listening to him I fell in love with his music. He has a very distinct style and its god damn good" Reply

"This album shows off everything that's great about The Beach Boys: the fact that they could do almost any genre from that time (maybe they should've left rock & roll, but okay); Brian Wilson's genius production techniques; Brian Wilson's out of the box thinking, he basically made Shoegazing with ..."

"A couple misses, but also a couple of home runs. Machu Picchu and Two Kinds Of Happiness are simply awesome. I like it a lot overall. Pretty heavy 80's vibe." Reply

"Not as immediately striking to me as 22, A Million. But to be fair, 22 A Million is one of my all time favorite albums. I just never heard something quite so gripping as Over Soon or Deathbreast.
