"God, Brotherhood is so well-written that, yeah, the production is a bit muddy, but track-for-track, it's incredibly solid. Weirdly, the best and most famous song from the record "Bizarre Love Triangle" doesn't really fit, but who am I to argue with a great track?" Reply

"Fantastic album, criminally underrated - how this isn't even in the top 1000 confounds me. This album perhaps sees the Lips at their most versatile, the album with the most dynamic range - rocking hard on one song to creating astounding beautiful music on the next and not a weak track here (well,..."

"This album is a ‘little’ gem and in my opinion enhances Weiland’s legacy as a pioneering progressive artist. I don’t think it challenges Purple but I think it surpasses Core as an artistic statement. I agree with the comment below in regards to initially being disappointed upon its release. I was..."

"Fashionable to bash (even though I didn't think Phil really lost it until But Seriously when he got too AC) but if you were there in 1985, you know you owned a copy. And there are some solid tracks here even if Sussudio wasn't a career highlight." Reply

"I met Suzanne briefly when she came to play at Kent State. I was friends with her brother Tim. It was pretty exciting, even though there were radio transmissions coming through her equipment that she complained bitterly about. I would have forgotten all about this album without that experience. E..." [+] Reply

"First saw Heep at the Wakes Arms pub in Essex (UK) in July 1970 and they are still going strong 50 years later, although Mick Box lead guitar is the only member of that original lineup. This album is probably their best as more than any other it highlights Ken Hensley's song writing abilities tac..." [+] Reply

"This album isn't easy to rate. Despite being a big Chuck Berry fan, I'm left a bit disappointed with this record. Nearly half the album are instrumentals, and none of them are all that interesting. There are still good tracks to be found here especially on the re-issue version that I own and am r..." [+] Reply
