"Despite Cave and company's thoughts that this album's sound was too tampered with post-recording, I find it to be one of his most fun, rocking albums. "Straight to You" is arguably his best song ever. Favorite tracks: "Straight to You", "Jack the Ripper", "Papa Won't Leave You, Henry"" Reply

"Their debut is actually quite good. Somewhat flawed, but fantastic highlights like "Dream On", "Movin' On", "Mama Kin. Derivative of the Stones and Zeppelin, but hey, they pretty much found their sound with the next album anyway so might as well start off with a good sound. Essential listening fo..." [+] Reply

"The Pet Shop Boys greatest lp, introducing their minimalist techno-pop to the world. Featuring the classic singles West End Girls and Opportunities, it's precision pop is both lovelorn and despairing." Reply

"i love paul's storytelling ability. A lot of the tales he sings going back to his time in simon & garfunkel sound like they're happening down the block or on his way cross-town to the park. i guess this is his break-up album, but it doesn't sound like it. His higher-pitched vocals carry a breezy ..." [+] 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"If your pseudo-music expert friends keep throwing around the term "Paisley Underground" and do not cite this album in their analysis, then it's time to call your pseudo-music expert friends on their BS!!! 1982's "The Days of Wine & Roses" would be situated at the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..."

"Bob Dylan's first album is often overlooked, probably because it only contains two originals and the rest are covers of old folk and blues tracks. No, it isn't essential compared with later Dylan records, but it is a very enjoyable one. It starts with the giddy, you're no good. The first thing yo..." [+] Reply
