"This was the first Parsons Album I listened to. The Intro Song (Sirius/Eye in the Sky) is Just hypnotic. Other Key Tracks are 'Silence and I' and 'Wise and old'. The only problem I have with this album is, that it has too much pop. (Children of the Moon, Fingers Burned, psychobabble, Step by step..." [+] Reply

"Janet packed up and recorded in minneapolis with jimmy jam & terry lewis to finally step outside of brother jacko's shadow with fine beats and cool choreography in her videos. Six of the 9 tracks were radio hits speaking to both the appeal of janet and her ability to establish her own "nasty" ide..." [+] Reply

"This album is just impressive. First of all, it’s sixteen tracks long, which is certainly ambitious for a folk album, and, perhaps even more ambitious for a folk album, it’s somewhat of a concept album. It’s not a concept album in that there’s some kind of running theme throughout the album, or s..." [+] Reply

"My favourite album of all time. Track-by-track review with a rating for each track out of 100: Star Sail: A dreamy opener with guitar that simultaneously floats dreamily and roars loudly. Ashcroft's vocals soar. 93 Slide Away: The album's first and catchiest single, though not as ambient and drea..." [+] Reply

"I love how beautiful this album is. John was showing this tender side (great powerful melodies), and Yoko was at her best. Everybody loves to bring Yoko's songs down, but to be honest, I think she did great in this album. The weakest songs of the album for me is "Dear yoko" and is sang by John an..." [+] 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

"My favorite Grateful Dead standard official relaese. A tad higher than American Beauty & Workingman's. The best "Sugar Magnolia" Ever! Great renditions of most tracks, well played, nice production - overdubs; A great listening experience always! Regular rotation spot this one always has in my wor..." [+] Reply

"I used to have a 2-1 cassette with The Cars on one side and Candy O on the other. Poor old Candy O was IMO the poor cousin. Often I would just rewind many of the tunes say except Let's Go, Candy O and Dangerous Type so I could listen to The Cars again. Over time, while I still feel it isn't quite..." [+] Reply

"Starts with three punk metal tracks (anticipating the hair metal 80s), then comes a 10 minute Doors-style jam, while tracks 6 & 7 do a Jethro Tull thing for some reason, and I don't even know what track 9 is. Dang it, why can't albums today be this lovably random?" Reply
