"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..."

"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

"A album which was years ahead of its time when released in 1970. The sleeve notes (CD version) refer to the Moog Sythesizer 'unlike today's compact modules, this one looked like an old fashioned telephone operator's station with cables going in and out every direction', this would have been an ea..."

"Seems like a good starting point for Zappa. Really exceptional instrumentation, especially with the guitar and bass, and a healthy dose of the weird stuff that he was known for, but not so much that it's overbearing for a first-time listener. Great album." Reply

"there are some amazing tracks. the thing is, is that there are SIXTEEN of them. you can't have a perfect album like "superunknown" when you have a few mediocre tracks bringing down what could have been soundgarden's masterpiece" Reply

"McCartney's second best behind Ram. Not a bad song here, and most are quite exceptional. Best tracks are Tug of War, Take it Away, Here Today (best song off the album), Ballroom Dancing, The Pound is Sinking and Dress Me Up as a Robber. Proof that McCartney's 80s career wasn't a complete waste." [+] 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
