"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

"Warren Ellis is a subtle genius. Cave is an intimidating genius. Together they make swirling mixtures of contrasting hues of musical mischief to lose your mind within." Reply

"One of Kiss' most ambitious albums. Destroyer, with production by Bob Ezrin helped to add a bit of bombast and orchestration to the cartoon rock'n'roll. The record sleeve is perfect for the contents inside, and some enjoyable tracks in, Detroit rock city(still one of Kiss' best songs), shout it o..." [+] Reply

"Brilliant album still holding up after 40 years. I refuse to call The Three Fates a Keith Emerson composition though, it is clearly ripped right off of Gershwin. Imagine what they had sounded like if Hendrix hadn't died and indeed had joined the band instead." 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

"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

"It's got a nice vibe to it and Angel has a great, emotive voice. I liked the album but I don't think I could give it any more praise than that, as it is just not resonating with me the way it seems to for others. The longer the tracks go on the more my mind begins to wander, no matter how much I ..." [+] Reply

"To me, this is so clearly Slowdive's masterpiece. It's potent, and has a timelessness to it. If I had heard this, and someone had told me it came out today, I could totally believe that. There are albums from ten years ago that don't hold up as well as this breezy, haunting collection of songs." Reply

"I rate Kansas above the "usual suspects" of a top 10 prog. bands list i.e British bands like Floyd, Genesis, Jethro, Yes...I prefer their first album to most of the others, but this one would be in my second place alongside some of their other '70s albums. So most of this album is composed by Ker..." [+] Reply
