"this album goes beyond concept. you see, the problem with concept albums is that you can't always listen to tracks separately, you need to listen to the full piece. but donald achieved something great with this one. it's perfect (and ironic?) for a party, it's perfect for when you're feeling lone..."

"Ramones second and more of the same, possibly even better than the first album. I bought this and Ramones in early 77 as US import pressings and they were barely off my turntable for the whole year – best band ever and a soundtrack to my youth." Reply

"Excellent from beginning to end, BURN brought a new life to Deep Purple, after entry of the new members David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes.

"St. Vincent's "Actor" may be her most ambitious work to date. While "Strange Mercy" and "St. Vincent" developed her pop sense as well as built what has rapidly been recognized as her signature style, "Actor" lacked parameters for its songs and did little more (and perhaps less) than its predecess..."

"The Mantle is a companion to cold, desolate walks through a north american forest during the harsh but quiet winter. It's no surprise the album takes inspiration from cynical european black metal, desolate dark ambient, and chilling neofolk. The Mantle molds all of this into a masterful one-piece..." [+] Reply

"I love this album, it always makes figures near the top of any list I make. "Late in the Day" and "Sun Hits the Sky" are the stand out tracks for me, but they are all good. Five Stars!" Reply

"I am so glad to see others acknowledging this album as a criminally underrated classic. It's in a weird place of history for the band, and served as a transition into what they would be known for, and people seemed to write it off because they assume it was just the band testing the waters of pro..."
