"Layered harmonies, strong melodies offbeat arrangements and instrumentation add to this psychedelic album. For best results "Black Foliage" should be experienced with headphones, eyes closed and mind open." Reply

"Like Enya at her most harmonic, Sara Bareilles at her most melodic, Janelle Monae at her most musical. Amazing album." Reply

"My friend Janine was my college neighbor for three years IIRC, and for three years I did not have to keep track of Little Feat's release schedule, because I knew Janine would buy each album the instant it was available, and I'd be hearing it immediately through our shared wall.

"Like "Something Else" by Cannonball Adderley it becomes fairly obvious early that there's a huge Miles Davis influence on the album. Melodic, tasteful, strict adherence to the groove in the midst of soloing. Sonny has similar style to the great Bill Evans (ok, that's my opinion and probably not t..." [+] Reply

"Such a great band, one of the best artists of the 2000s. This is one of my 5 favorite albums of 2004 easily. They have an awesome sound and wonderful vocals." Reply

"An album that is let down by the second half because the first half is amazing. It is so full of colour and life on those first 3 tracks that you start to think that your in for a classic from Explosions In The Sky. The way they build up the music is brilliant and they allow themselves to explode..." [+] Reply

"What a difference a new guitarist makes. Everything else was constant except Uli John Roth had left and had been replaced for recording purposes by Mathias Jabs and Michael Schenker.

"With 'Up On The Sun', The Meat Puppets created a psychedelic-country and experimental fusion that incorporates elements of jazz and even raga. The songs are essentially hypnotic and ethereal 'laid back' meditations which in their way are extremely engaging and innovative." Reply

"The Psychedlic Furs were one one of the most significant pop bands of the new wave and this album is packed with winners. In popular conciousness they're John Hughes favs with "Pretty In Pink" and "Don't you Forget About Me", however this as well as several other albums sre well worth owning. The..." [+] Reply
