"In my personal opinion, this this is Foals best album, most of its tracks, except of Bad Habit, Stepson, Out of the Woods (which are average songs), the rest of the album is phenomenal, just crazy!! I cant take it out of my head. My number, Inhaler, Providence, Last Night, Milk & Black Spiders......"  [+]  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

"This was a great reinvention, from changing his name to changing his lyrical depth. I think it has become customary to dismiss JCM as a redneck and even (very mistakenly!) an overly patriotic conservative. Anyone who thinks along those lines needs to listen more closely. This is far more intellig..."  [+]  Reply

"Pretty simple album as a whole, but they have catchy, hooky, pop punk down to a science. This factor works to the album's favor and there is a lot to love here. To some it may not deserve a high rating, but I have so much fun listening that I can't help but rate it as much as I enjoy it. Best Tra..."  [+]  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

"The first album Elvis Presley recorded after leaving the army. It's arguably his best, most consistent, and most enjoyable album. Great songs here; dirty, dirty feeling, the lovely, girl of my best friend, and the blues, reconsider baby, Elvis wouldn't record anything like that for a while after ..."  [+]  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
