"*Sigh*. This album is complete trash. I like all of the songs from 'Electric Blue' to 'We Don't Deserve Love' (the latter being a song that I love, which may be surprising given the rating that I gave the album), but the rest of the album completely fails. 'Chemistry' gets a bad rap, it's bad, bu..."  [+]  Reply

"A Salty Dog was the last Procol Harum album to feature the original 5-piece line-up. Compared to the previous two, which were very much dominated by Gary Booker's songs and vocals ( not a negative thing at all ), more space is given to guitarist Robin Trower and organist Matthew Fisher. Robin Tro..."  [+]  Reply

"This record struggles with its brilliance, a more brilliant record I'm not sure there is, I never tire of it, I know all the words, my friends know all the words. Like some people know all the bits to The Sound Of Music, we know all the bits to Absolutely Free."  Reply

"This is one of Paul McCartney's most interesting albums. Chaos and creation, is predominantly acoustic in sound, and is much more challenging in structure than most McCartney records, maybe only his self titled albums from 1970 and 1980 compare. Having said that, the songs here are much more thou..."  [+]  Reply

"Mesmerizing but the counterpoint stuff gets a bit overwhelming after a while... I feel it needs a bit of dynamic added to it by having some ambient tracks or something. Facades was kind of that, but a little late in the album. It's a very similar feel throughout the album. Rubric was impressive b..."  [+]  Reply

"Much, much, much better than Bleed American. More ambitious, diverse, melodic, angsty, better sung, and in general considerably less constrained with superficial stuff like "trying to make an album that will sell". On Clarity there's the confrontational blissful opener "Table for Glasses", the ca..."  [+]  Reply

"For a band that was releasing brilliant music 30 years ago to come out with something as good as this in 2023 is remarkable. Its albums and artists like these that reminds us of why we all love music so much , certainly one of years best albums and possibly the most pleasing return by a band last..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is insanely DANGEROUS. This album rocks, shreds, riffs, and kicks ass. The playing is tight, professional, and awesome. Phil Lynott's voice is one of the best in rock, soft, hard, and dynamic at the same time!"  Reply
