"Unlike The Beatles, The Rolling Stones started out by recording mostly cover songs. England's Newest Hitmakers is the US version of their debut, which was self titled in the UK. The differences are in the album cover, which in England had no text on the front, and the US version substitutes Buddy..." [+] Reply

"One of the most pleasant albums I've heard in a long time. I have only listened to one Smog album before I heard this album. Dream River reminds me of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter; it's the same jazzy/folky sleepy and comfortable sound, yet Bill Callahan has a universe of his own. Music don't have ..." [+] Reply

"Very enjoyable. Volume one is easily the best. The other two become a bit of a drag, and the whole lot taken in one go is a real slog. Still, some wonderful moments here and there. All in all, Zappa never fails to amaze." Reply
"This is a great record! Classic songwriting and Ella's vocals make this one of the greatest albums of the era." Reply

"You can, as many probably are aware of, in several rock encyclopedias and other publications on rock and pop learn that this first album by Country Joe and the Fish is regarded as a classic, and that people with an interest in the psychedelic music of the 1960s should hear and appreciate it. This..." [+] Reply

"Current AOTY contender but the way this year is shaping up, that might not last long But it is beautiful, deep, and compelling and minimal at the same time Simple but effective and unique... Here's my initial reaction tweets: "Ngl, kinda getting Death Grips+Khalid vibes...with some James Blake......" [+] Reply

"Their 2018 album was my favorite of that year. This one is great but I don't think I like it as much. It's definitely more emotional and spiritual but not as fun. It will probably stay pretty high in 2023 at least and was my most anticipated album this year. My expectations were pretty high and f..." [+] Reply

"This is a phenomenal metal album in my opinion! Frim the first 20 seconds of track one this album is pure shred, riff, and metal up the ass. It actually blew me away how much I liked this. My favorite artist is Megadeth and this album competes with their best in my opinion. Then you get to Voice ..." [+] Reply

"2 duds and 10 songs that made either Endless Summer (4) or Spirit of America (6). Was this their greatest singles album? Quite possibly. And since this IS America's greatest rock 'n' roll band it must be one of the greatest albums ever, no? Brian's strengths as a tunesmith were in full gear here...." [+] Reply
