"A masterpiece from the late 80s, it was George's big return after five years. Every song has a good atmosphere, and I think it's the album you should listen to from the first until the last song." Reply

"I have my own War Of The Worlds story When this album was released as a Double Album in 1978 I was 11 years old and I already had become obsessed with music and I simply had to own this particular release. In those pre internet days how I knew about Jeff Waynes War Of The Worlds I have no clue ? ..." [+] Reply

"There is an interesting history to this album. Actually Badfinger's third album was ready for release in spring 1971, but for several reasons Apple would not release the album. Some of the songs were re-recorded while others were simply scrapped. Fortunately these songs have surfaced in recent ye..." [+] Reply

"I discovered Pavement after their split. I don't have a "personal history" with these albums too. For these ears, every Pavement album was better than the previous one ... what a band !" Reply

"The lyrics are amazing, the work of Richey is more obvious than on Generation Terrorists. This album in particular seems to go unnoticed by some MSP fans, which is a bit unfair in my eyes, because I think it's one of their best, second only to The Holy Bible." Reply

"(A really beautiful, at times philosophical, serene singer/songwriter album with just a really peaceful atmosphere and thought-provoking themes.) This is a sort and sweet, 33 minute and 7 track singer/songwriter album. The lyrics are pretty and beautifully specific, ruminative and consistently go..." [+] Reply

"This wants to be something more than it is. It's steeped in aesthetic suggestion of something dark, something sinister, something lying beneath the surface under the white lace. Alas and alack if there's in fact some deeper truth or horror or horror-truth hidden under there, Cain hasn't the faint..." [+] Reply

"A very strong debut. Maybe even better than the Rolling Stones 64 debut. The band sound very tight and clear, and the bass lines are glorious. A commonplace would be to say that "House of the rising sun" is the highlight. HOTRS is the best track, but the real highlight is Eric Burdon's powerful a..." [+] Reply

"I knew this album was going to be good after the singles were certified modern rock classics. What I wasn't expecting was the extremely intimate, and moving closing moments." Reply
