"I feel like Joni Mitchell is a genius. Like, I recognize that now. Its like she envisions or, more accurately, hears music with more clarity than almost any human in pop music history. From the jump, with this solo debut of hers, its clear she is a legitimate A+ guitarist, a freakishly pristine a..."  [+]  Reply

"What a great surprise! I didn’t have big expectations, since I wasn’t that into their first two albums. But this one, I fell in love with. The balance between the three singers, in both melodies and lyrics, is spot on. They complement each other beautifully. The arrangements are full of surprises..."  [+]  Reply

"We all know they have their formula, but it's a fun one. Their recent albums haven't really had much staying power, but it's tough not to appreciate the immediacy of them. Case in point is the song "Congregation", full of hooks that you only have to hear once to be humming all day. So while it pr..."  [+]  Reply

"Abbas sixth album, "Voulez-Vous", from 1979 was recorded over a period of one year with the title track is actually recorded in Miami USA. Nevertheless, the album is one of the group's most consistent and most successful. Only a few songs fall into the category of "forgettable" and besides the bi..."  [+]  Reply

"A somewhat underrated gem. The first 3 songs are great Eye No Alphabet Street and Glam Slam. Alphabet Street is one of my favorites. Anna Stesia and Dance On keeps things moving before the ballad When 2 are in love which is lovely along with I Wish U Heaven and Positivity."  Reply

"An absolutely bonkers metal album. The German group Helloween give us an extremely enjoyable record with spectacularly over the top performances. Obviously, heavily influenced by Queen and Iron Maiden, seven keys, is a lot of fun. A tale that wasn't right, future world, and the epic, Halloween, a..."  [+]  Reply
