"Released a year after his suicide, I remember a profound sadness on my first listen of this album. I like Elliott Smith’s previous work, all the way back to his days with the band Heatmiser, and I could see in this heavier, raw set a real breakthrough in his music. There is still debate as to wha..." [+] Reply

"Ummagumma, is the dreaded two record set. Still, this one is saved by the fact they decided to give half the record over to a live recording. The live disc is great with, Eugene, and, heart of the sun, especially brilliant. The groans start on the second disc. Oh,no, this is a band without a clue..." [+] Reply

"Personally, this sounds fantastic. What else sounds like this? True sonic innovation, just like Pet Sounds before it. So why not as celebrated? Perhaps it's too weird for the masses. But a listen to Wind Chimes, for example, reveals a hauntingly beautiful deranged symphony. Quite frankly, it's Wo..." [+] Reply

"During the late eighties, Excitable Boy was in heavy rotation at the pizza place in Auburn, Maine, where I worked in the kitchen after school to earn pocket cash. It might have been the only album that was universally liked by all the high school aged staff who worked in the kitchen those years. ..." [+] Reply

"First three songs and 47 are really, really impressive but after that the album just falls falls on it's back with hopeless repetitions of the same lyrics and instrumentation. I can sense the immense potential these guys had on this record but I was still super disappointed that it didn't pay off..." [+] Reply

"Even with After Laughter now under Paramore's belt, I still feel this is their strongest album. Their success can be attributed to the fact that Paramore knew which songs were destined to be hit singles in the music scene post-Fall Out Boy's breakthrough success two years prior. While the three h..." [+] Reply

"Like most of the albums of Genesis' pop phase, this one is quite inconsistent. The good songs can stand up to the band's prog staples, but the bad songs are lightyears behind even the worst songs on Nursery Crime through A Trick of the Tail. "Mama" is one of Genesis' best tracks. It's eerie, ener..." [+] Reply

"S.V.E's 'Remind Me Tomorrow' is a brave move for an artist that is cut from the folk guitar cloth , but satisfyingly it works The electronic sound is jarring to the S.V.E fan upon first listen but ultimately rewards with patience and repeated listening's . The album really kicks into gear with th..." [+] Reply

"Great album from KGLW, and also the precursor to their follow-up album and masterpiece; Nonagon infinity. The album's beginning tracks are a wild continuous ride full of hips shaking and head bobbing highlights. It is definitly one of those projects with a remmeberable start. It is also quite sur..."

"It is true, I only listened to this because Steven Wilson produced, played the keyboard and co-wrote one track. But this is not a Steven Wilson album. It is clearly Mikael Åkerfeldt driven here. Such beautifully haunting tracks. Favourites are: the first 3 tracks, To Rid The Disease and Weakness." Reply
