"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

"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..."

"The best darn Krautrock I ever heard. I imagine this album is the musical equivalent of what it would feel like to be in the Pagemaster movie scene where all the paint falls from the roof and makes everything cartoon. Yeaaaahhhh." Reply

"Sorry to those who love the Killers, but to me, they're repeating the same formula over and over again. I don't see how this sounds any different than Hot Fuss or Sam's Town... In fact, it's the same stuff, without the memorable hooks. I suppose it's listenable, but there's much better music that..." [+] 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

"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

"This record together with Soundgardens "Down on the upside" was symptoms of an era that was about to end. The newer era, Britpop, was already rising, and people were about to have enough of the harsh and dark metal sound, and prefered another more quiet and soft sound (Radiohead), when it came to..."

"To be honest I truly thought she would go even further into the classical sound and that's the only non-positive thing I will say about this album. When she released Motomami I thought to myself wow how is she gonna top that? She'll have to divert to a totally different direction and still delive..." [+] Reply

"This is certainly a better "album" for Coldplay, inasmuch as it works a relatively cohesive collection of songs that are meant to work with each other. Granted, this is not perfect by any stretch. Chris Martin is still one of the least impressive lyricists, but even the stripped back instrumental..." [+] Reply
