"One of the essential guitar records of all time, packed to the brim with hard rock, blues, and prog in germinal form. It's crazy to me how underrated and forgotten Wishbone Ash has become when you can put an album like this on and enjoy every second of it. Let's get these guys some more recogniti..." [+] Reply
"I remember the first time listening to this and thinking it was repetitive and without skill. I frequently go on black/death metal kicks but this is by far the singular most oppressive thing I've ever heard. it's painful to listen to and makes me genuinely sick, makes my muscles ache. I feel like..." [+] Reply

"Released on the same day as, Alice, blood money, is the least accessible of the two(for casual fans, if indeed, there are any?), and is probably the more consistent and successful of the two. It features some of Waits' best latter day songs. Misery is the river of the world, God's away on busines..." [+] Reply

"Starts off very strong but is far too experimental for it's own good. The good is absolutely brilliant and as haunting as an abandoned mansion, but there's too many loose and unnecessary arrangements that stops this album from reaching it's full potential. " A flat out masterpiece"." Reply

"A love Rickie-Lee, quite similar in tone and style as Joni, but with some nice new sound and vibes to give it some personal touch. A Very refreshing album and it still sounds up to date even being over 40 years old!" Reply

"Really can't believe how underrated this album is. "Blue" was my intro to Joni, I just melted. But I grew out of it, it was just too sad. I wanted redemption. This is what Mitchell gives us in "For The Roses". It's a masterpiece depicting the light at the end of the tunnel. Banquet is phenomenal,..." [+] Reply

"Following a relatively fallow creative period for the Captain, the master returned to form with the album 'Shiny Beast'. In my opinion, as great a record as this record is, his follow-up, 'Doc At The Radar Station', is even better. This album is a kind of distillation of 'Trout Mask' for the post..." [+] Reply

"Total, complete, engulfing immersion. Night time in a big city will never look the same once you play this; the sounds of the lights, the skyscrapers, the metro, the taxis, the people, all is delicately and potently captured. A haven for nocturne daydreams." Reply
