"Basically an inferior version of, Mr. Tambourine man. Turn! turn! turn!, features the same ingredients, Dylan covers, some traditional songs, and some originals, but they just don't have the same freshness as the first album. The title track is nice, another U.S. No:1 hit for the band, and, the w..." [+] Reply

"The Airplane's second best. A great last gasp at the end of the 60s. The 70s and 80s were not kind to this band. Starship? Bleh...." Reply

"Some of the songwriting here is up there with the very best by the likes of Cat Power, Fiona Apple or Liz Phair. "Chemo Limo" and "Carbon Monoxide" in particular were a real punch, truly heartbreaking. Not all the songs are hits, but overall the album was a very good surprise." Reply

"Excellent early punk album. Poly sings like Debbie Harry ate John Lydon. The whole thing is a breath of fresh air, tons of fun and rocking." Reply

"A really fun listen! Granted, the record sounds a bit dated in some parts, but that doesn't take away from its overall charm. If you like big band music, this one's for you." Reply

"A sadly underrated and underappreciated record. Same can be said of Rafferty himself and his career. City To City was so much more than just that sax solo on "Baker Street"." Reply

"Stunningly crisp psychedelic rock out of San Fran. Some of the cleanest instrumentals that you can find from the era appear on this album. Very nice-sounding and well-recorded on the whole. The vocals, while passionate, lack some of the coolness that I enjoy about the instruments. One of the best..." [+] Reply

"Definitely Madonna's greatest album of the 2000's - very soulful, deep, charming.....'Sorry' is my favorite song here but I think 'Push' should've been released as a single. This one differs from other tracks on this album and could have been a hit" Reply

"arguably the band's best album and absolutely they're most underrated and misunderstood. the rhythm section is as strong as anything u2 has done. adam clayton and larry mullin jr are playing at another level that we don't see much from u2. by this point in his career, bono has backed down from sh..."

"You're welcome, Precedent. Just glad you appreciated that, it took me a few listens to. With that, disregard my previous comment, there are so many peaks that make up the album and make it so extra-special." Reply
