"Best Anthrax album. A thrash metal masterpiece. That's right. I said it. Anthrax made a masterpiece. Joey is probably the best vocalist in all of thrash metal. I don't say that lightly either. Some of the best metal riffs I've ever heard. Indians is probably in my top 5 thrash songs ever." 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

"To me, this is the best live album of the 1990s. It's still cool if you prefer Nirvana's Unplugged though because I think they are on a level playing field. It's a perfect setlist, and the added guitarist Scott Olsen does wonders for these songs. Layne and Jerry just sound sublime together, despi..." [+] 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..."

"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..."

"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

"Fantastic partnership in re-imagining the work of Woody Guthrie. Wilco offsets the folksy dead-pan approach of Billy Bragg well in alternating tracks. Sometimes it comes close to hitting the mark, and others they hit a home run. Highlights - California Stars, Ingrid Bergman, Christ for President,..." [+] Reply
