"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.

"Ah, 80's hair glam bubblegum metal pop. Motley Crue's 5th album was a huge smash, with 4 top 30 singles and massive sales. This album had all of the Hollywood Glam prerequisites: apostrophe shortened song titles (Same Ol' Situation), umlauts, aquanet, songs about groupie sex ("She Goes Down"), a ..." [+] Reply

"The release of a compilation only 2 albums into a solo career is a strange idea, so it's even more miraculous that this still remains one of the best and most consistent collects of Morrissey tracks available." 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...

"Some consider this too 'poppy'. This 'supergroup' was formed from the ashes of 'Yes', 'King Crimson' and 'ELP' and given its release in 1982 could never have been 'Close to the Edge', 'Brain Salad Surgery', or 'In the Court of the Crimson King'. Granted, the album is radio friendly and delivered ..." [+] 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

"Little Simz does it again. Another excellent project with beautiful instrumentation, powerful and emotional lyrics, and a charismatic performance by Simz. While I'm not sure it surpasses Grey Area and SIMBI, I'll need more time with it, this album is more proof that Little Simz is one of the most..." [+] Reply

"Burial's self-titled album is a very impressive debut; most veteran musicians have never put out work with comparable amounts of quality to this record. With the use of sampled vocals and claustrophobic beats, this record expertly captures and evokes a dark mood, along with an overwhelming sense ..." [+] Reply

"Recommended by Phil Oakey from The Human League. As a big fan of the asymetric haircut, I bought it little knowing what it would sound like. Nothinglike the Humn League anyway. It is a wonderful album." Reply
