"(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 is one of Dylan's most underrated albums, at least in my opinion. I think it gets kind of forgotten, as it comes after the high artistic achievements of, blood on the tracks, and, desire, and the forthcoming 'god' trilogy. Opener, changing of the guard's, is great, with some nice E-street ba..." [+] Reply

"Superb album from a great wordsmith. I think it needs to be listened to/rated by an English audience as some of the language would not mean anything to others. Such a tight band delivering a great selection. Blockheads is a favourite of mine and is normally their encore number. Norman Watt=Roy ha..." [+] Reply

"Interesting for sure. Fluffy Little Clouds is of course great. Spanish Castles in the Sky is one of those strange tracks that I want to love, the whole vibe and atmosphere and instrumentation of it is really pleasing and has so much potential, and yet its just squandered. The track really undergo..." [+] Reply

"Bjork's always trying something different, this time she harkens back to the sound of her first few albums by using some brand new instrument creations. It's still bjork, and when tracks work, like "crystalline", they work well. i just wish she'd try more uptempo numbers like that -- a lot of tra..." [+] Reply

"They added a lot of new wave and volume to "so jealous" that wasn't there on "if it was you", but the hooks were slightly lost in the process. "The Con" represents the best of their last 2 albums, with all the quick-to-the-point hooks of "if it was you" and the attitude and energy of "so jealous"..." [+] Reply

"I must have listened to this album three times a day for about two months straight back in the beginning of last year. I've completely forgotten about it since then. Kind of funny considering that the album looks like candy, which can be great in mass consumption at the time, but later you realiz..." [+] 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
