"Jeff lynne brings pop sensibilities and great guitar production, tones and intricate melodies. Some say he ruined Tom petty but that's nonsense. Three good to excellent albums including this resulted. This next only to full moon fever. Highlights learning to fly, two gunslingers and title track. ..." [+] Reply

"After the 'sessions' album and tour Bruce Springsteen re-united the E street band for the 2007 record, magic. As on the rising, Springsteen was always better when he had something to write about. 9/11 was the rising, magic, was the aftermath of that terrible tragedy, most notably, George W Bush, ..."

"As far as I know, this album was released before Blur (1996 vs 1997). I've always felt that the chord progression at one point in Fell Off The Floor is way too similar to what Blur did with Song 2. Was Song 2 inspired by this? Does anyone else hear this? Give it a listen - do you think Damon Alba..." [+] Reply

"I have no idea why this album's not more highly regarded; it's an amazing debut, and my second favorite Queen record (behind Sheer Heart Attack). Really not a bad song here, and "My Fairy King," "Jesus," "Doing All Right," "Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll," and "Son & Daughter" are innovative, superio..." [+] Reply

"really wish this album had made more of a wave since it was released since it's just so, so good, but an obscurely popular music video off a strong album is more than most artists get in their lifetime. also really wish the re-issue songs were on the original album so I could give them the 100/10..."
