"This is a really, really solid debut album from an established Nashville songwriter. The issue is, I think I want to like it more than I actually do. This album is a step in the right direction in terms of steering the "main stream country music" ship back around. It contains powerful vocals, tra..." [+] Reply

"Bob Geldof once famously quoted: “In the UK you had The Pistols, in America you had The Ramones and from Australia there was The Saints”. Seems outrageous that The Saints from the back blocks of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia should be mentioned in the same breath as two punk icons, but on this ..." [+] Reply

"One of the best NWA solo albums. Cube's brutality on this album can justify how was probably the group's best MC. He was willing to be the villain which is quite fascinating. Interesting to note The Bomb Squad produced this album." Reply

"The most intimate live album I've ever heard. It pulls you right into Old Quarter, right there with townes. I love this album. Townes doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but who cares. He's just the amazing Townes Van Zandt." Reply
"Honestly? It's good. Musically one might call it a fantastic pop record, and they would not be wrong. The politics of the lyrics are of course hard to swallow at times. It's one of those albums that I can't quite tell whether it is brashly feminist and sex-positive, or just shallow, consumerist, ..." [+] Reply

"I listened to this and I faded out. I don't really know what happened, can't recall any thoughts. I woke up later, but was still trapped in this thing. I couldn't get out, and it hit me that the idea of a Nick Drake album seemed danceable at that moment. I could feel my skin turning pale and my m..." [+] Reply

"Only just good hard rock/glam metal album. Best 10 songs average is 77,7/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Sound is very good - but vocals take MUCH getting used to. What a strong start of "Black shuck", I turned the radio loud and then --- this annoying falsetto. Don't know if I'm adapting ..." [+] Reply

"Probably the most ridiculous rock operas you'll ever hear, this album takes you on a pretty awesome ride as you explore themes of religion and the concept of God." Reply
