"A roller coaster ride through sound. There are a few dark moments, but the journey is an uplifting one which will send shivers down your spine. Best thrills include the majestic opener Cascade, the intense and haunting Obsession and the jazzy straightjacket strut of Cocoon. This is the Banshees a..." [+] Reply

"Screaming trees should of been bigger. Mark Lanegan is one of the finest singers with his melodic grunge rock vocals (even though I wouldn't call this grunge at all). This is a hidden gem from that era." Reply

"Beautiful album. Not sure what genre I'd call it, everything about it seems to indicate shoegaze, but when you dig deep, you find there's metal at its heart." Reply

"This would have been a much better EP. I lost total interest after Born to Be Wild. The first 5 songs were an ok thing though." Reply

"This is definitely not a B-sides album. Yes, the songs were recorded at the same time as Wall of Eyes but they collated 2 albums of very different aesthetics - the various songs chosen to best suit the feeling they were looking for. This album is a meandering jam that incorporates all the playful..." [+] Reply

"BS&T loses their leader, Al Kooper, and comes back with one of the best records of the 60s. Has their two biggest hits, "Spinning Wheel" and "You've Made Me So Very Happy," along with classics like the standard, "God Bless the Child," and Laura Nyro's "And When I Die." The band's later efforts wo..." [+] Reply
