"Check out this album with an open mind, whether you think you may like Van Halen or not. "Fair Warning" isn't a party like "Van Halen" and doesn't have something for everyone like "1984." It has a cynical, streetwise, skateboard punk attitude, and funk grooves in almost every song. It's been only..." [+] Reply

"Nowadays Almendra is considered a masterpiece (at least in its native Argentina), but back when it came out in 1969 it was seen as an oddity. Their Beatlesque sound and lyrics fused foreign influences like jazz and European avant-garde movements with more local inspirations like tango, Argentine ..." [+] Reply

"This is one of those albums where upon listening, it’s obvious how many similar bands were formed in its wake. They perfected the heavy, shoegaze-y sound here. Chino Moreno is a big fan and with good reason. Just a really solid album." Reply
"Dylan's last album of original material up to 2016. Again, it's got a similar feel to all his recent records. It's got some good stuff on here, and some not so good. Best tracks are the lovely, soon after midnight, the angry, pay in blood, and the excellent, scarlet town. Thankfully, Dylan, keeps..." [+] Reply

"My vinyl copy has a stained cover and the vinyl crackles, but I still prefer it to the CD version I bought. I once travelled down to London to see Nick Cave. My abiding memory of that night was seeing Jeffrey Lee Pierce heading away from the bar. I was such a small town boy amazed that someone I ..." [+] Reply

"Trust, tends to be overlooked and certainly underrated, it includes some of Costello's best songs of the eighties. Clubland, is one of his best opening tracks, and it's followed by the brilliant, lovers walk. The highlights on the record though are, the excellent, new lace sleeves, the duet with ..." [+] Reply

"Are the tunes super memorable? No, but it’s so worth it for every moment that the beautiful and powerful voice of Ronnie James Dio is blessing your ears." Reply

"The absolute BEST Rainbow record. The production on this record is perfect...and why not? It was recorded in a haunted castle. This is Dio's first masterpiece album. And really, Blackmore may never have played better himself. "Gates Of Babylon" is one of the three best hard rock songs ever. The o..." [+] Reply
