"This album needs and deserves commenting on! So here's what I've written about it on my chart: In my opinion, this is everything OK Computer is made out to be and more - a reflection on our primal human nature and its dislocation in a modern industrialized world. The album features beautiful soun..." [+] Reply

"The jayhawks "rainy day music" is an extension of what they put out on "smile" with maybe a more adult-contemporary slant, watering down the country to the point of near-invisibility. Hits include "stumbling through the dark", the ultra-catchy "tailspin", "tampa to tulsa" and "save it for a rainy..." [+] Reply

"This is an adorable little prog album. Really exciting and somewhat cheesy listen. But it's a sophisticated sort of cheese... Like blue cheese. It's like blue cheese and wine." Reply

"My favourite Procol Harum album. Every song is brilliant and it works so well as an album. Very underrated." Reply
"Doesn’t perhaps surpass the lofty heights of ‘Process’, but ‘Lahai’ is nevertheless a strong follow up and one that constantly kept catching my ear." Reply

"The complete recordings by Robert Johnson are better heard on THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION (Columbia Legacy/Sony 2011) with much improved sound quality. Furthermore THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION has got the alternates at the end of each disc (CD 1: SAN ANTONIO RECORDINGS; CD2: DALLAS RECORDINGS), which ..." [+] Reply

"I find it difficult to make an objective judgement on this album as Dear Science is one of my favourite albums and this album suffers in comparison as it is very similar. The songs are still very good but it feels like shaking hands with Bobby Kennedy whilst secrertly wishing it was JFK. There is..." [+] Reply

"The Kills don't like the description of Garage Rock, but I think it's a fitting description. They're kind of like The White Stripes, but the vocals are female (Alison Mosshart aka VV) rather than male, and the male half of the duo, Jamie Hince (aka Hotel) plays all of the instruments. Favorite so..." [+] Reply

"I was a 16-year old camp counselor in training, far from home in a primitive forest. I ran a high fever for two days with a horrific bout of tonsillitis. All I could do was lay on a bunk in a cabin with no air conditioning and listen to my records on headphones, sweating and hallucinating. This w..." [+] Reply
