"Basie's best record is a classic for Big Band Jazz. Arranged by Neal Hefti and featuring some great tenor sax work by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. Easy to see how this recording rejuvenated Basie's career. Best Tracks: Midnite, Fantail, Spanky, Duet, Teddy the Toad." Reply

"Elbow have self-classified themselves as "prog without the solos," an assessment I cannot dispute. There are times when Guy Garver sounds exactly like Peter Gabriel, which I consider high praise (even if it's a tad disconcerting for the listener). And although I think Build a Rocket Boys! could d..." [+] Reply

"A criminally underrated album, "One Hot Minute" is one of the strongest RHCP albums if you want my opinion. It is the proggiest album they've ever done, and I like that. I think the RHCP have a tendency to use a recipe when they're writing songs nowadays, but this is definitely not the case on th..." [+] Reply

"Top to bottom this is just one of most beautifully produced rap albums ever I've heard. And the raps are so damn sexy too. Man, I just think this is basically a perfect, filler-free, all banger filled masterpiece. There's absolutely no fat here. No bs skits, nothing but absolutely astounding beat..." [+] Reply

"How is this not rated higher on BEA!? This band has a very unique brand of melodic, almost psychedelic sounding punk and I love it! Definitely more mature than their debut, which was a little more generic in terms of style for the time (although I like that one as well). This album hits hard too...." [+] Reply
