"Still getting my feet wet with jazz albums, so this is an inexperienced question, but why is this not as well regarded as Davis' other albums? You can definitely tell it served as a canvas for Kind of Blue and that's regarded as the best jazz album of all time." Reply

"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God." Reply
"Not to imply that Orchid is bad or that it’s not worth listening to, but Mornigrise serves as a major step forward in solidifying a sonic identity Opeth could be recognized by. Akerfeldt has always had one of the best growls in the business as far as I’m concerned. This is a great and dynamic sop..." [+] Reply

"So refreshing! I haven't been blown away like that by a first listen since quite some time! I will give that a few more listens, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it land in my top 50! Really incredible, super fun punk. Wow." Reply

"Hugely successful comeback after the disappointing Soul to Soul. Stevie at his best here, still laying down some blazing blues, but having refined his craft even a step further. He also does a nice job shifting from blues to jazz on the closer, 'Riviera Paradise.'" Reply

"If we've said it once, we've said it a million times. The man has a knack for writing guitar licks. In my opinion, an improvement of the already solid debut album. I always hoped for a White Stripes reunion and while it looks like that will never happen, Jack White on his own seems to suffice jus..." [+] Reply

"Very steady throughout with their brand of industrial chug, but I do find it a touch repetitive by the time I get to the end. The version I have has a 12th track called 'Stripped' which is sung in English. It is one of the better songs on the album." Reply

"This album is part of my personal top 100 because I can't do this band the credit it deserves if I don't put a Greatest Hits in my top A00. You can check out my other top 100 albums (with additional comments) as well. All the songs on this album are marvelous and are a fantastic blend of the supe..." [+] Reply
