"Certainly one of Morrissey's best solo efforts, it sounded a little like a Smiths album in 1992 and continues to do so. It's always a good sign, when the poorest effort here (Fatty) never fails to raise a smile."  Reply

"More a direct up-down outpouring of Mitski's usual hybrids of lushly melodic ballads and sledgehammer guitar breakdowns (often in the space of a single song), overall it does feel a bit like a trial run for Puberty 2... but wow what an opener."  Reply

"Laura Nyro was one of those rare and singular talents that comes along once in a lifetime, if you're lucky. In her original music, the disparate sounds of Soul, Jazz, Folk-Rock, Doo-Wop, Broadway, and Brill Building Pop coalesced into something that was magically hers alone. Her wild and untraine..."  [+]  Reply

"Muddy Waters epitomizes the blues. Others have had more commercial success, there have been many superior players, and most are more charismatic. However, nobody makes you believe he's suffered and hustled through life like Muddy Waters. "I'm Ready" IS the blues. This album should be the first bl..."  [+]  Reply

"They do the rootsy/bluesy rock thing well. Sadly, it's been done before. I don't see how these guys are massively different from Blues Traveler in the 90s or the original artists (Big Brother and Holding Company comes to mind) from 60s and 70s."  Reply

"I've always been surprised by the low rank of this album since I consider it to be her second best. Then I realized it's because I've been listening to bootleg version of this album all along! *MIND BLOWN* Extraordinary Machine has two versions - the bootleg Jon Brion version and the official Mik..."  [+]  Reply

"A lot of confusion over this album. From interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason, Division Bell was supposed to be a double album. The disc that got realeased and then a second disc of abstract instrumentals. Sort of in the vain of Ummagumma. Anyway, they ran out of time to finish as the alb..."  [+]  Reply
