"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

"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

"This album stunned me. Prophetic, apocalyptic, tender and dark. It made me realise just how powerful music can be when it has poetry in the lyrics, and just how lame most song lyrics really are. I read an interview with Mogwai once. They asked them why they don’t write lyrics for their music. The..." [+] 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

"Joe Cocker bursts into the late 60s with a soulful collection, channeling Ray Charles and baring his Soul with a Capital "S". In listening to this album for the first time there were times when I thought I had mistakenly put on a Brother Ray disc. "Bye Bye Blackbird" sounds like Charles could hav..." [+] Reply

"Another impressive album from the brilliant Nina Simone. Sings the blues, is exactly what it says on the tin. Do I move you, backlash blues, and, blues for mama, are the standouts. Raw and atmospheric." 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
