"how can you not love an album with a song called "lightsaber cocksucking blues"?? ;-) fortunately the album is solid throughout, with the band's impish sense of humor keeping things interesting."  Reply

"No More Tears came as a bit of surprise. While there is no disputing the power of the first two Ozzy solo albums, Bark at the Moon and the Ultimate Sin were relatively mediocre albums compared to Ozzy's previous work (though No Rest For the Wicked, the album that came before No More Tears is unde..."  [+]  Reply

"DO NOT let taking back sundays later work put you off this album!!! (the 2nd album was okay, after that its useless.) I see this album as under rated. By far taking back sundays best work in my opinion (though it isn't in the most charts on here...) good lyrics, incredibly catchy chorus' certainl..."  [+]  Reply

"An underrated album. New skin for the old ceremony, isn't quite in the same class as his first three albums but it's still a very good record. It features some fantastic songs such as opener, is this what you wanted, the excellent, Chelsea hotel, and, lover, lover, lover, and that's just the firs..."  [+]  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

"I have waited many years for this to be re released on vinyl and at last that day has come. Excellent progressive album with what is possibly the most bizarre sleeve art in all of my collection. I always wondered what the H to He part of the album title meant, I now realise it is ‘the fusion of H..."  [+]  Reply

"I've yet to hear a mediocre recording from The Duke, but this one is something special. It's more energetic and adventurous than his work with the Blanton-Webster band. There are a lot of great tracks, but I especially enjoyed "A Tone Parallel to Harlem.""  Reply
