"Criticisms for this record seem to stem from bashing Kanye the person rather than Kanye the artist. Furthermore, there's a silly "Oh, the album's way too short to have any impact" critique circulating everywhere which is wholly unjustified. Are we saying that Pusha T's latest album (of similar le..." [+] Reply

"A really unique-sounding album, even for Jethro Tull. The traditional English folk approach blends surprisingly effectively with Tull's hard rock ethos. It sounds like the soundtrack to the nerdiest game of Dungeons and Dragons ever conceived. Recommended. Even if you don't love it (and I'm not e..." [+] Reply

"Their most commercial album but none the worse for it. Every track is spot on. It starts with For Even Less - a brilliant, haunting tale of lost youth and friendship. Piano Lessons follows - for anyone who has ever taken any, it aches with memories. Slave Called Shiver and This Is No Rehearsal al..." [+] Reply

"Some don't like this one as much as their others, but I think it's a great album. It might even be my favorite by them. The sound is mostly electronic and there are a lot of great beats and grooves here." Reply

"My favorite of theirs, by a decent margin. The perfect balance between their super heavy sludgey stuff and the progy sound they evolved to later. Full of great riffs, and Brahn Dailor's drumming is as top notch as ever." Reply

"The best album produced by the best British blues guitarist, Peter Green. WARNING: this isn't your "Don't Stop" Fleetwood Mac -- this is closer to a mix of Cream and Zeppelin." Reply

"If your pseudo-music expert friends keep throwing around the term "Paisley Underground" and do not cite this album in their analysis, then it's time to call your pseudo-music expert friends on their BS!!! 1982's "The Days of Wine & Roses" would be situated at the top of my Paisley Underground lis..."

"Wonderful album! Definitely one of my favorite electronic albums. I consider it one of my top 100 as well. It's trippy, it's chill, it's upbeat and peaceful all at once." Reply

"I believe you miss out on the historical context if you call Ramones a pop band, and even by today's standards the music is too aggressive and the vocals too snotty to be considered pop. That said, this is another solid punk-rocker although not reaching the same heights as the self-titled debut o..." [+] Reply
