"Gershwin’s music proves perfect for Miles Davis the balladeer, and he really owns it. The result is some of the most lovely moments in jazz. “Prayer,” especially, is emotional, powerful and absolutely beautiful." Reply

"The Foos becoming their own band, for better or worse. First 5 songs are great, but the whole album could be about 10 minutes shorter if they trimmed the fat on each track a bit. The production here just feels right, but the songs go on and on." Reply

"Many New Wave bands who continued into the nineties (and beyond), and who kept releasing new music, disappointed me. Maybe because you can only fall in love for the first time once, or maybe because the angry young man gets religion and\or smokes so much his vocal chords can't belt out the tunes ..." [+] Reply

"I generall agree with y'all commenters, except daftpunter's assertion that Sgt. Pepper is "tripe". That just seems excessively revisionist. Sgt. Pepper is a remarkable work of art, though it's hard to listen to it with "fresh ears." But yeah this is one of the most underrated albums I've ever enc..." [+] Reply

"THE most underrated album in music. The instrumentation is nothing to write home about save the wonderful steel guitar, but THE LYRICS are some of the best ever written. It's like being broken up with and having a series of epiphanies through fits of crying. Knowing that you both tried your best,..." [+] Reply

"I think the cover art is really more iconic than the album itself. While most of Daniel's work is brilliant I wouldn't call this his best. It's a little less mature than Yip/Jump and 1990, so I'm not really sure why it gets the most praise (maybe because Kurt Cobain constantly cited it as a favor..." [+] Reply

Maybe for relaxing, maybe for making you enjoy the time, this album destroy your life expectations, building everything in a beautiful psychedelic orchestra. I like the vibes that it trans..."

"(Well, it’s another excellent Lana Del Rey album. Lyrically excellent and balanced. Musically lush yet stripped down with just the right amount of subtle spice and variety added in to keep it low key riveting. If you like her standout 2019 album, you’ll like this. Probably my fave Lana album yet...." [+] Reply
