"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

"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

"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

"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

"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

"At the end of last year I’d been dreaming up a piece on Lingua Ignota (real name Kristin Hayter) and female subjectivity in metal and its subgenres. And who knows, maybe at some point it will see the light of day. But for now, here is as good as any place to let some of those half-formed ideas un..." [+] Reply

"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

"Janelle killed it on this one. I think she showed definite improvement in her songwriting and furthered her pop aesthetic while still maintaining her R&B/funk roots of The ArchAndroid. The songs don't flow as seamlessly as they do on the first album, but there are so many stand-out songs here tha..." [+] Reply

"The title is no jest; this is country music. But it's Waylon and Willie country, straight out of the early 70s. As people's patience wears thin with checklist songs and beer anthems, this album is being raised as a beacon. If you've ever been known to say, "I don't like country music," please giv..." [+] Reply
