"Borrowing elements from folk, country, blues and tex-mex, Townes Van Zandt's poetry is emotionally intense. His gentle acoustic style has a unique desolate quality to it and his stories are simultaneously intimate and universal." Reply

"This is the third of a three-album peak for this band, from a time when they had three excellent songwriters all hitting their marks. The real standout on this one is Jason Isbell, who contributed three instant classics in "Danko/Manuel," "Never Gonna Change," and "Goddamn Lonely Love."" Reply

"One of those unforgettable records from the mid 80's. Great tracks include What's Love and Better Be Good to Me. Turner's career restarted with a vengeance thanks to this one and it was fun watching that." Reply

"U2 were not really ready to record a follow up to, boy, as they had no songs, but since they had to, they winged it. It was written on the fly, in the studio, and although there is a lot of energy, is does sound a little short on something. Gloria, is a great opener, and, I fall down, is fine, bu..." [+] Reply

"For the sake of disclosure, I lived in Boston in the early 80s when MoB was paying it's dues as a club band playing in such club dives as the Rat, Cantones, the Underground & the Channel. I saw at least 100 shows by MoB from 1979 until their final show in 1983 at the Bradford Ballroom. MoB was si..." [+] Reply

"One of my favourite indi rock albums from the 2000s. Not a weak track and I'm surprised it's not rated much higher considering I'd expect the YYY's to hit a demographic sweet spot on this site." Reply

"She added a little grit to the somewhat "perky" debut, still doing everything as well as before. "home" is unofficially my favorite of all her songs, a longing ode for home, as in lyrics "Afraid of feeling nothing, no bees or butterflies / My head is full of voices and my house is full of lies". ..."

"Part of the beauty of Easter Everywhere is it doesn't sound like it should have happened. It's make-up is just so strange. Roky Eriksson's eccentric, urgent vocal delivery is at times akin to that of a manic preacher, I've no idea what he's singing about but I do not at any point doubt his convic..." [+] Reply

"(Pristine sophisti-pop album with incredibly dynamic production, slick and sexy saxophone, and that sweet and unassuming vocal work from Tamara Lindeman.) This is just a fabulously executed and gorgeous album. Every drum beat and horn and line and detail is so pristinely recorded and intentional ..." [+] Reply
