Still, the songs sound fresh and convey genuine feeling. And despite the mathy arrangements the grooves are pretty agreeable - they clearly prefer the ..." [+] Reply

"I thibk this is one of the best albums from 1981 and from the 80s. This was the culminate point of them carreer. There's no album sounding like this.

"The Isley Brothers have had hits in every decade since the 1950's, and have scored 20 top 10 albums. 3+3, which finds the band as a sextet, opens with "That Lady"...worth having the album for alone. It's funky, and Ernie Isley tears it up on guitar. The album is also notable for its choice in cov..." [+] Reply

"One of my all time favorite films, and a fantastic soundtrack. Don't buy the iTunes version though, it's just the film audio lifted and sold. Buy a used CD or Vinyl." Reply

"This is where Nightwish began taking it into the stratosphere. Their first 4 albums were good, but this album is truly excellent. Tarja's outstanding vocals were far more balanced between rock and opera on this album - a balance that the band would continue striking after firing her. Wish I Had a..." [+] Reply

The problem with this album stems from the night itself. Not the recording or producing or tracklisting, but the show itself. The fact of the matte..." [+] Reply

"Great album and a huge improvement on their previous album. The first three tracks are a bomb, the rest of the album has a great flow with good moments like Tidal Wave" Reply
