"Most people who liked/loved the Beatles and beyond probably lost interest in Paul McCartney somewhere between London Town and McCartney II. This is the album that should bring them back. It was made after McCartney had been working on the Beatles Anthology project and after listening to all those..."  [+]  Reply

"'Grace Under Pressure' moved the band out of the progressive arena and into a much more synth based eighties sound which absolutely worked for Rush. A number of excellent synth based albums followed and I sometimes forget how good this one is. 'Manhattan Project' and 'Mystic Rhythms' are personal..."  [+]  Reply

"I love this album. Browsing through random songs one day, I came across Saint Mary and loved it. Then I checked out the rest of the album... and was blown away. The album's fusion of slow, exquisite, melodious thinker's ballads and punk or rock-oriented songs keeps the album wholly engaging from ..."  [+]  Reply

"Does it matter if 'new ground' is covered or not? If it did, Oasis wouldn't have ever sold any records. The best way to 'get' this album is to jump in your car, whack it on, travel from Queensferry to Bangor down the A55 and take in the scenery (don't speed - North Wales Police are notoriously ho..."  [+]  Reply

"The songwriting of Difford and Tillbrook was at an apex when they made this album. A comment on this album said that "Labled with Love" was "oviously" the most famous track on it, I have personally never heard it except on this album. Maybe it was big in the UK or Australia. "Tempted" was the clo..."  [+]  Reply

"Doesn't live up to their first 2 albums, but still a solid album which is one of the best of 2010. Unlike their other albums which have multiple stand out tracks, Blue Beard is the only song which I would put in that category for Infinite Arms. Despite not having any bad tracks, my expectations f..."  [+]  Reply
