"Baez is an important figure in the American folk revival and the development of folk rock, so some awareness of her is important. This is her debut album, and works well enough to give good idea of her singing and her style. It is also widely regarded as her most significant album. The songs are ..."  [+]  Reply

"Is there anything more beautiful in this world than a woman's voice? If we agree then this album is a grand exposition of female vocalising on a level that can enchant even the most skeptical listener. With Eagle Agnetha and Frida arrive from the heavens it seems bearing tidings of profound optim..."  [+]  Reply

"If this band died young they would've been worshipped. In the vein of The Rolling Stones, and Morissey, they continue on, making corporate, egotistical asses of themselves. Especially Corey Taylor, the guy is several miles up his own ass. I'm no expert on nu-metal. I tend to gravitate towards mor..."  [+]  Reply

"75 to 80/100 (Beautiful, assured and uplifting debut from this British singer and songwriter. Full of subtle and honest and understanding and warm soulful pop songs. She's now one of the most exciting young artists that I look forward to hearing all her releases going forward for years to come.) ..."  [+]  Reply

"My favourite album of all time. Track-by-track review with a rating for each track out of 100: Star Sail: A dreamy opener with guitar that simultaneously floats dreamily and roars loudly. Ashcroft's vocals soar. 93 Slide Away: The album's first and catchiest single, though not as ambient and drea..."  [+]  Reply

"It's absolute insanity that an album this good sits so far down the charts. I can only assume it's because not enough people have listened to Ween or White Pepper in particular. This is not a couple of clowns trying to make a novelty record. This is a collection of outstanding songs by gifted son..."  [+]  Reply
