"I have been in awe of this album this past week. I don't think its on the level of Illinois but I also think its unreasonable to always compare an artist's output with their opus. As a piece of music in the grand design of Sufjan's world though, this album has delivered spectacularly. The way you..." [+] Reply

"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

"Heard it 3 times here is my reaction after each listen: 1st- Nice heartland rock (its ok) 2nd- damn some of these tracks are getting me emotional. I think i understand the themes of the albums a bit more. 3rd- Give me War on Drugs music straight in my veins! Try not to get teary eyed! Favorite al..." [+] Reply

"An astonishing performance by Yes on a record that is very under appreciated. The instrumentals on this album are amazing and stun me every time I hear them. The guitar work is just outstanding and this is exemplified by the 15 minute epic Awaken which is the best track on this album. This song e..." [+] Reply

"Seasons (waiting on you) is a fantastic opening track, he's certainly got some unique dance moves from what I've seen on letterman. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album!" Reply

"Incredible debut, the founding father of southern rock albums, rarely if ever equaled. It doesn't get much better than this. Solid lineup of tracks from beginning to end. Highlights include, 'Black Hearted Woman' which has an almost Hendrix sound to it, and one of the greatest LP climax's with 'W..." [+] Reply

"Some may not agree but this is the best Alice in chains album. While a couple songs arn't great, the other songs more than make up for it. This is a solid album and captures more of what the band really is to me in a time before they were just a little too polished" Reply

"Though her subsequent work often leaves me cold, O'Connor's debut is a brilliant, eclectic collection in which even the love songs, such as the gorgeous "Just Like U Said It Would B," sound fiery and raw. "Troy," one of the finest songs of the decade, is a devastating entreaty to an ex-lover she ..." [+] Reply

"Consistently interesting listen, with less of the ELO generic orchestra gimmickry. Probably their second best album for me, after their first. Best songs are the El Dorado Overture, Laredo Tornado and the finale." Reply
