"The visceral experience of a live Radiohead gig is impossible to transmit through a recording however, this did a pretty good job of it. The main 2 reasons for this are the outstandingly emotive and haunting renditions of Like Spinning Plates and True Love Waits. Many a time have I laid back on m..." [+] 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..."

"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

"I'm in the middle of thinking that this is a work of genius and that it's self-indulgent. Aesop Rock is definitely one of the greatest artists in hip-hop, but this is way too long "Daylight" is a classic though, fantastic song." Reply

"This album is bookended by two incredible songs: the band words overtime to deliver a bold instrumental opening in the first song, and Haslam's vocals in the last song are divine. Sandwiched between the two are some decent folk/symphonic tunes, including the shoulda-been-a-hit Carpet of the Sun." Reply
"Absolutely brilliant and utterly unique - the lyrics may not make much sense but they are ingenious nonetheless!" Reply

"The mid-nineties were great years for albums that brought together punk's two-minute punchiness with the earnest relationship laments that would soon become the genre we now know as emo. Unlike Sebadoh's scattershot early albums, Bakesale is one of the era's best at bridging these two strains of ..." [+] Reply
