"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

"A psychedelic album which is full energy! Superb musicianship from the off, keys and lead guitar continually interchanging. The drums and bass carve out the tight grooves throughout the album. Love the organ lead on the title track and the lead guitar is soooo psychedelic!" 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

"To me, My War is the story of side 2 of Damaged taken to its final bleak conclusion. Not a pretty picture I'm afraid. A lot harder to route for our protagonist at this point. From a completely musical point of view, Damaged is a far more varied and thus to me more interesting. Quite unique to see..." [+] Reply

""A Louse is not a Home" may be my all time favorite song, or at least in the top 5. Peter Hammill really doesn't hold anything back here (He never does). Modern and Forsaken Gardens are also incredible. Really the whole album is. Everything is so meaningful here." Reply
"Baez is an important figure in the American folk revival and the development of folk rock, so some awareness of her is important. This is her debut album, and works well enough to give good idea of her singing and her style. It is also widely regarded as her most significant album. The songs are ..." [+] Reply

"A true gem of an album that is very underrated. From the opening bass of Street Fighting Years to the haunting and magical guitar rifts, creative percussions, atmospheric keyboards and orchestral sounds of all the tracks, this is a great listen. It has strong political, human rights and emotional..." [+] Reply

"Given the time, and the fact that she kept busy with various appearances on other people's albums, I was beginning to wonder if she'd ever put out another of her own. What she's finally given us is an incredibly sparse and quiet record. Long-time partner David Rawlings really shines on this one, ..." [+] Reply

"Name a song that grooves harder Juice, I dare you. This album is full of awesome song craft, uplifting bravado, and excellent production. Heavily recommend 85/100 (Very Good)" Reply

"Death Grips are one of the best new groups, that have risen up this decade and really stood up from the crowd. They got this abrasive, hard sound, in combination with somewhat dirty lyrics, which really make me excited for the future. I hope that a whole movement will erect from their ideas and w..."
