It's the b..."  [+]  Reply

"There is no way that 'The Final Cut' should sit above this album, or 'Pulse' for that matter as the latter is a compilation! This album doesn't get the credit it deserves, it is a very psychedelic offering and dishes up some real classics, 'The Nile Song' and 'Ibiza Bar' being two of them, not to..."  [+]  Reply

"Though not their strongest effort, I'll like most anything that Built to Spill does. It's a solid effort that shows that they have an admirably consistent discography, maybe to a fault at times. Still, this remains a fine album."  Reply

"Still need to think about this a little longer but yeah, I feel like this might be a 10. It's literally perfect from beginning to end. The production was spotless, not a single song was too long, and Mos's rhymes were just on another level. Music is supposed to move you right? Well this shit sent..."  [+]  Reply

"Wow, what a beautiful listen. ‘God Save The Animals’ sounds both starkly original yet familiar at the same time, sporting thirteen deeply expressive and poignant tracks of indie rock/ folk."  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 absolute masterpiece of mediterranean? music. An orgy of sounds, instruments, vocals (genoa dialectal)and genius. Fabrizio De André ¡what name! is a fabulous singer-songwriter but here is beyond any label or way at his best. (Also a favorite of Wim Wenders)."  Reply
