"I always had trouble with the album falling short of breath quite early on. Until I discovered the actual track sequence Paul Simon had in mind for this (which, when considering the actual sequence on the album as produced is 3-6-4-7-8-1-2-9-5-10). I tried it and only then discovered the masterpi..." [+] Reply

"Lynyrd Skynyrd's second album is an excellent follow up to their brilliant debut. Kicking off with the band's most successful single, sweet home Alabama, a rock classic, the record never lets up. Workin'for MCA, is a great cynical look at the music business, don't ask me no questions, is a strong..." [+] Reply

"I think these American Recordings series should really be sold as Johnny Cash, by Rick Rubin. As Rubin's influence is what made the difference in Cash's career over the last decade of his life. What a gift that was to the music world. Every one of these is superb. While this one isn't my personal..." [+] Reply

"Jayhawks are a band that more people on this site need to hear. The harmonies of Marc Olson and Gary Louris are as good as you will ever find." Reply

"The debut from Jack and Meg is a raw, stripped down, electric guitar and drum, in your face affair that plain kicks ass. And there's 17 tracks of it, none longer than 3:22. So even though the songs mostly have a similar feel to them, the album moves right along and keeps the energy going right th..." [+] Reply

"I feel like this album could have been (and still could be) better received if it had better packaging and marketing, and a better title, which sounds weird maybe, but people weren't prepared for what a change of direction it is. If you tell me something is cosmic blues, I'm expecting loosey-goos..." [+] Reply
