"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..."

"This is the closest Miles Davis ever got to making a rock'n'roll record. 'Jack Johnson' is the soundtrack for the 1971 documentary of the same name, about the life of Jack Johnson, the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion. His story resonated personally with Miles, who did not..." [+] Reply

"A lot better than his first album in my opinion, but still some songs seem too linear. And sometimes the songs have such similar qualities that they go past the realm of just 'his style' and go into the realm of a lack of creativity, if that makes any sense. But songs like Overgrown, Retrograde, ..." [+] Reply

"This is such an amazing record. Basically the definitive example of an excellent artist coming along, dropping a unique and timeless masterpiece then disappearing. He just never got the credit he deserved in his career or in his day which is sad. This album is a stunner. Outside of maybe Pink Moo..." [+] Reply

"Okay, this is one of the harder jazz albums to get into. "Ghosts" (both variations) has a pretty scary combination of catchiness and atonal insanity!" Reply

"An ambitious first album from Peter Gabriel. Incorporating rock, folk, and even barbershop music, it's an eclectic piece of work. Moribund the burgermeister, is a great opening track, and, modern love, is also a strong cut, but best songs are the excellent, Salisbury hill, and closing track, here..." [+] Reply
