"Definitely much more pop oriented than than their first three albums, but it works well.It's probably best known for I Wanna Be Sedated, but everything here is good."  Reply

"I like the album. As a stand alone piece of music its a good deadpan indie rock record. But as a follow up to Sometimes I Sit & Think.. I just see no growth. Which I won't necessarily hold against her, since its not a bad sounding album either way and an artist doesn't always need to find a new s..."  [+]  Reply

"Infectious, immediate and relentless math rock greatness. Foals' debut is just filled with this unrestrained momentum bursting through every song. I may be biased because I've listened to it so much, but there isn't a skippable track on this album. Quite possibly my favorite math rock record ever..."  [+]  Reply

"Going back and listening to this now it seems strange to think this is the same band that conquered the world with Sex on Fire. It's ramshackle homespun southern country rock but it's their ability to fill the songs with so many little hooks that elevates this. Talihina Sky may well be my favouri..."  [+]  Reply

"Imagine, if you will, a giant rollercoaster that lasts for about 35 minutes. Except there's no delay for going up. You're basically going down down down, upside-down, left, down, down, DOWN the whole time. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!! (there should have been more !!!!s in this review) There is lik..."  [+]  Reply

"This is just straight bebop by two of its greatest practitioners. The instrumental performances can't be beat, though the overly simplistic arrangements leave it behind many other jazz classics in my mind."  Reply

"Amazing piano playing. Matchbox, Jambalaya, High School Confidential are key tracks. Has the talent of playing and singing of Little Richard, but not the same song writing skills."  Reply

"Procol Harum's 1967 album is easily among the greatest debut-albums ever released. In fact, it could be the greatest. In a highly original way Procol Harum succeeded in combining raw rhythm'n blues with classical music. With Keith Reid's dark mysterious lyrics and Brooker's soulful voice these 19..."  [+]  Reply
