"The classic Cream album. Disraeli gears, fuses blues with the more psychedelic sounds of the era. Wonderful musicianship and some fine songs in, sunshine of your love, strange brew, and, tales of brave Ulysses. There are a few filler tracks, but the majority of it is great with a lovely sense of ..." [+] Reply

"Many people seem to forget about this album. At the first listen, this album seems tediously long and overdone, with five instrumentals (counting Fish) and long songs with seemingly random transitions and bridges. However, after many listens, this album slowly turns into an instantly recognizable..." [+] Reply

"I refuse to rate and/or rank this album. It's straight up impossible for me to compare its quality to other albums' qualities. I also find it impossible to give it a number between 0 and 10 to represent how good/bad I think it is, 'cause I don't think any rating fits. It's sure as hell an interes..." [+] Reply

"Room on Fire is This is It version 2.0 That is what ultimately hurts the legacy of their sophomore effort. Reptilia is better than anything on Is This It? But the whole album is safe and by the end of it the thinking is basically, "This is great too, but I have heard it before" and "Okay, but can..." [+] Reply

"Tracks two through five are pretty much perfection!!! During these four songs Lauryn Hill grabs your soul and shows you everything you'll ever need in life. This is definitely one of the greatest hip-hop/soul albums ever, a true masterpiece of musical beauty!!!" Reply

"The instrumentals/beats on this album alone should qualify this for top spot in 1998. I never thought I would enjoy a hip hop album this much. Extra points from me for interpolating Genesis. I don't really have much else to say about Aquemini. If you're contemplating on whether or not to listen t..." [+] Reply

"This is yet another great folk pop album from S&G. Maybe they go a little overboard with effects (like how the gospel-like vocals are piped in in "save the life of my child" and the voices in "voices of old people" go on a little long), but the album is still great regardless and feels BIG overal..."

"1977 what a year, co-writing and producing Iggy's classics, Lust For Life, & The Idiot, & also blessing the world with Low, he then followed that lot up with Heroes, it must be hard being David Bowie, in a word, GENIUS!" Reply
