"One of those John Coltrane albums that's either genius or nonsense, depending on what mood I'm in. It sometimes works for me, other times it just annoys and frustrates me. Am i trying to like it? Do I like it? Or do I hate it? I don't know, I really don't know." Reply

"Came to Geese first, so I expected more of the same. Instead, I got one of the lovelier records I've heard in a minute. Gentle, funny, insightful stuff here." Reply

"One of the most important albums of American music ever made. Woody is the great American trubador and "Dust Bowl Ballads" is a kind a musical narrative of the Great Depression that is the equal to Stienbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" for gritty realism. Woody's influence on the music Bob Dylan, the Byr..." [+] Reply
"This is a pretty cool album, the first three parts especially. The last two kinda drag on a bit. But part one is awesome and sludgy, and part two has some really fun guitar work a bit reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix. Part three is a pretty cool, and more straightforward song, with vocals. Overall, a ..." [+] Reply

"Great psychedelic almost instrumental album. Parts of the music on side two could fit a cowboy movie, given the drama created between the guitar and rhythm section. Perhaps this was intended looking at the rear off the sleeve artwork and text. It offers something different to a lot of the psyched..." [+] Reply

"I think how much you're fascinated with everything Taylor Swift- particularly both the icon and what people perceive her as out of the limelight- will go a long way into how you value this album. Because purely taken as a piece of music, it rarely gels into anything substantial. In hindsight, I w..." [+] Reply

"Honestly I was underwhelmed by Chemtrails, it's not bad but any means. Starts off great and sadly falls into the uninspiring/kinda boring realm for me.. Blue Banisters is a vast improvement!
