"My favorite Grateful Dead standard official relaese. A tad higher than American Beauty & Workingman's. The best "Sugar Magnolia" Ever! Great renditions of most tracks, well played, nice production - overdubs; A great listening experience always! Regular rotation spot this one always has in my wor..." [+] Reply

"No track really stands out on this record like certain show-stoppers on "Ten Love Songs", but Susanne Sundfør has crafted an elegant art pop / chamber folk record that maintains its melancholic yet hopeful mood extremely well and transcends the "pleasant but not much more" critique that other art..."

"The singles are excellent but the rest is a bit ropey. Example : The Piper, The Way Old Friends Do, and Andante Andante charter new depths into how cringe-worthy you can get." Reply

"Top Rap 10 album of the last 5 years" Reply
"The fact that this album was played ad nauseum for a year or two, and features Santana partnering with Rob Thomas (gag!) overshadows the actual quality here. It's slick, overproduced and a little shallow, but it's still decent. Not worthy of the hype at the time, but not worth a huge backlash eit..." [+] Reply

"This is truly a great album with surprising songs. I remember I heard the song Instant Street for the first time, I loved it immediately and I love it still. Even the last song is mesmerizing." Reply

"This album has successfully managed to open my eyes (or ears rather..) to metal vocals. I've never liked metal vocals, EVER. This one did it for me. After the first couple listens I kept telling myself that an instrumental version of the album would be perfect, however every listen since then has..." [+] Reply

"Their 2018 album was my favorite of that year. This one is great but I don't think I like it as much. It's definitely more emotional and spiritual but not as fun. It will probably stay pretty high in 2023 at least and was my most anticipated album this year. My expectations were pretty high and f..." [+] 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

"It's pretty rare album art draws me in this deep. I just did a very cursory review of some of my collection, and none of the art hits me like this one. Dare I say, side by side, it makes a lot of album art look like just something that everyone sends with an album because they have to. I like the..." [+] Reply
