"I wasn't totally sold on R Plus Seven, but this one is like a combination of all my favourite aspects of his previous work. Loving the weird vocal manipulation. So alien. Every now and then it slithers up to the TV screen to watch some impossibly happy pop diva dancing to a catchy tune, and the c..." [+] Reply

"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

"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

"Saw Marillion on Real to Reel Tour in 1984 and only owned this album at the time, played (I believe) all the tracks off this. I am a fan of the Fish era 8 minute plus epics, can happily sit through the 20 odd minutes of Grendel so this is a favourite of mine. Preferred to Script, superceded by Mi..." [+] 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

"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
"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

"Quite simply, one of the best albums ever made. dEUS arrived fully formed; grown-up's, arty, experimental, somehow inebriated and yet as coherent as hell. For a while, they were rated among right thinking folk as the finest band on the planet. WCS is a true classic." Reply
