"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

"Anyone interested in diving into Calypso should probably check out this album, but don't forget to check out the Trinidadian Calypso from this era as well. Prior to Trinidad & Tobago's independence from the UK, a lot of Calypsonians used their music to talk about the systemic oppression of Trinid..."  [+]  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

"You'd never know it by hit "All I Wanna Do" that she struggled for a while to start her career off in her own way, not how a record company would want to present her. Regardless, the pop/rock on display here is pretty masterful for a debut album. Filtered through her version of Stevie Nicks, a lo..."  [+]  Reply

"This is completely unjust, a 69? Are you serious? This album wasn't AMAAZING, but it should have at the very least low to mid 70s. Honestly Hozier shows his artistic variety from the soulful guitars of "Jackie and Wilson" to the grandioise drums, pianos, and guitars of "Take me to church." But th..."  [+]  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. The production work is so much better - the guitar is a sonically more up front. But the song writing and arrangem..."  [+]  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

"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
