"This album is part of my personal top 100 because I can't do this band the credit it deserves if I don't put a Greatest Hits in my top A00. You can check out my other top 100 albums (with additional comments) as well. All the songs on this album are marvelous and are a fantastic blend of the supe..." [+] Reply

"This record is the second of a pair that Costello released in 1986, following the largely acoustic King of America. It was also the last album he would record with the Attractions until 1994's Brutal Youth. While I do prefer KoA, this album is still very strong, with some of the most furious perf..." [+] Reply

"A few of the songs are jams that can sound a bit unfocused at times and White occasionally sounds like a caricature of himself, but he does it in a way that welcomes reinvention and I love the high energy here. There are some weirder more experimental moments that threw me for a loop and were ver..." [+] 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

"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

"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
