"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

"Why are people disappointed with this album? For me it is almost at par with Crime of the Century and above Breakfast in America. In songs like "A sopabox opera", "Another man's woman" or "Just a normal day" Hodgson and Davies keep a dialogue in which their voices shine between the piano, the vio..." [+] Reply

"A great psychedelic album. It has all the elements to make it a really interesting listen and it is! Organ, Mellotron (incorrectly spelt in the Sleeve notes) harpsichord, harmonica, flute, saxaphone, searing guitars, tambura and sitar. Comparing 'Dealer' with 'Utterly Simple' the two tracks like ..." [+] Reply

"Well, the first (and my favorite) great quintet. Coltrane like hard learner of freedom in harmonies. Chambers, Garland and Joe Jones, the best rhythm section of history of jazz. Davis lyrical, masterful. What can I say?" Reply

"When I purchased a copy of this album, I was a junior high kid, and it was not an easy album to understand. I could only buy one album a month back then (naturally), so I would listen to the album every day, and I could gradually digest the beauty (and aggressive nature) of the album over time. A..."

"One of the most underrated female artists ever. Judee Sill is sadly no longer with us, but she released two excellent solo records that are criminally overlooked. Featuring stunning songs such, Jesus was a crossmaker, my man on love, and, crayon angels, this album is up there with what Joni Mitch..." [+] Reply

"Boz's album is a superb collection of blue eyed soul with a smidgen of rock. Lowdown is wondeful with a truly brilliant groove but the album is solid throughout" Reply

"f there’s one thing Kasabian has been known for doing, it’s pumping out mediocre albums. They have a good sound, there’s no denying that. However all of the albums they’ve put out so far have drawn a rousing “meh" from critics. This album is no different. It has it’s moments. Moments where some s..." [+] Reply
