"It's so richly dense in texture and sound that it is quite mesmerizing. The vocals at times feel a bit too samey but there is enough variety in the melodies that it does not take much away from the experience." Reply
"Opeth has always been a mix of Mikael Åkerfeldt's two musical obsessions: metal and prog rock. To my ear, their catalogue starts more metal and trends more prog, with this album being the perfect midway point. I consider this their best album in that it represents such a nice blend of both styles..." [+] Reply

"There's exactly 4 good tracks on this album. But with most songs over 5 minutes and 4 even over 7 minutes this album is simply to long for its own good and especially near the end it even becomes a bit boring. But overall an ok My Morning Jacket album." Reply

"Billed as The Costello Show, king of America, is Elvis Costello's Americana album. Costello had tried to capture an authentic stateside sound on his country covers LP, almost blue, but where as that album sounded forced and phony, king of America, sounds real and lived in. It features probably Co..." [+] Reply

"So right now A Day In The Life is the best song by The Beatles, The 8th best song by The Beatles, and the 19th best song by The Beatles. Literally why." Reply

""Manning Fireworks" has vivid vignette storytelling in the lyrics. Each song gives a little peak to a character at a specific moment in time. The line "I wouldn't be in the seminary if I could be with you" on "Rudolph" says so much in one sentence. "Manning Fireworks" paints a wonderful picture o..." [+] Reply

"This is Steve-O at his peak. Some great deep tracks here including Mercury Blues, Wild Mountain Honey and a revision of Sam Cooke's You Send Me that makes it all Steve's own." Reply

"In the spring of 1994, a group of friends and I followed Uncle Tupelo around New England on what turned out to be their final tour. They were playing small venues then, so much so that by the third show, they were giving us comp tickets and inviting us to join them on their tour bus to play Sega ..." [+] Reply

"This is Elvis' first compilation from 1958 and it features most of his hit singles that did not get an album release back then, including Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel, Jailhouse Rock and most of his pre-Army smash hits. This is a must listen and a must have!" Reply
