"This is a far more digestible Frank Zappa release with a lot of the songs sounding closer to the music at the time than the classic and abstract sound he usually performs. That makes this the perfect album in my opinion to start listening to Zappa as you still get the nuances but they are a lot m..."  [+]  Reply

"It’s a good album and for the most part, it’s a solid project. Is it the best J. Cole project? I think Friday Night Lights is better but this one is up there. He was smart to make project without any feats. I personally don’t like feats, when I hear a hip hop album, I’m there to hear it all from ..."  [+]  Reply

"God on earth. Debussy, Ravel, Ellington..all is in Evans and Evans is in heaven. The best pianist of all time and not only in jazz. Gould, Rubinstein, Pollini, Horowitz..... yes, of course, but Bill Evans forever. N.- Evans, LaFaro and Motian are THE TRIO."  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

"I'm no expert on soul music but my initial impression after listening to this a couple of times is that this is possibly the most powerful soul singing I've ever heard. It brings that gospel fervour to secular music and is so full of unbridled emotion it's incredible. I love the fact you can hear..."  [+]  Reply

"(Not sure why I am putting in a paranthetical opening statement for this comment considering how short and insubstantial this comment is, boiling down to "Not MY Hardcore! grrrr...". Maybe its just a habit. Anyway, yeah I am not a fan of this uber clean, big, anthemic version of post hardcore and..."  [+]  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

"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
