"I can't say I've heard anything like this and I'm glad it exists.

As someone who looks for harmony and me..."    Reply

"At first glance I see a lot of similarities between this band and another french, electronic duo, known as Daft Punk. So I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I went out of my way to give this album a listen. To my surprise I was quite pleased. Even though I was worried that I would be wasti..."    Reply

"Billy Joel is highly underrated on this site! I love This album! It's his best effort and in my top 20 favorite albums of all time. He was a talented songwriter and it's amazing how his sound evolved over the years."  Reply

"Instrumentally, this is probably Frank Zappa's strongest release including everything he did with the Mother Of Invention. The music on here just feels so full of life and ideas that it is so easy to get lost in the soundscapes he creates. This is primarily done through the use of his guitar whic..."    Reply

"I see someone made the comparison to Graceland below, really interesting point I never thought of. Paul Simon's my favorite songwriter but I actually like this album a bit better. Didn't instantly connect with me, but I can't get tired of Oxford Comma or Campus"  Reply

"For unknown reasons, this album tends to be forgotten about in the present day and age in favor of "Who's Next," perhaps attributing the praise of this album to the times and its unique "rock opera" nature. This is a huge mistake. Tommy is in many ways the Who's masterpiece, the work most indicat..."    Reply
