"Energy, fire and skill. What makes it great to me, or rather, confirms it is that every one I spoke to when it came out had a different favourite track. Terse, violent slashing chords from Weller with great bass and drums counterpoint. Highly underrated. The Jam's best album IMHO." Reply

"This is my first Uriah Heep album. I listen to it frequently and I think every track is Heep's best" Reply

"I got this album completely wrong the first time around. It took me a while to get into this because the album is mainly based on grooves and feel rather than out and out melody. The melodies themselves are discreet but repeated listens brings them to the fore. All in all, it's a beautiful record..." [+] Reply

"As the years went by, Songs: Ohia albums only got more rootsy, more bluesy, more folksy, and more Americana-y, culminating in this, their penultimate studio album, though I use the term "studio" loosely because like most of their work (prior to their last album, "Magnolia Electric Co."), it sound..."

"An album that takes it time to build up and allows its song to come to a complete conclusion. It is a very rewarding album and if you give it the time it deserves the music will demonstrate that to you but it does take some patience to be able to see that. The drums are fantastic and provide a ba..." [+] Reply
"Lush Americana. That's the only way to describe it. Bruce Springsteen's 19th studio album 'Western stars' is quite probably the loveliest of his career. The musicianship is bliss and the production is immaculate. Opener 'Hitch hikin'' sets the tone for the album as we and Bruce thumb ourselves al..." [+] Reply

"Reaper is the big hit, and I have always liked it, but my personal favorite is ETI. I think this is a good record, but I also think that BOC isn't for everyone. They have a unique sound that doesn't appeal to everyone. Saw them on the Black & Blue Tour in 1980 in Rockford, IL. Great show." Reply

"Wonderful album all throughout by progressive rock-progressive metal polish band Riverside. This is their most aggressive yet their most progressive and symphonic album. Duda's vocals have many registers and are all good, the piano and keyboards by Lapaj in this album are grandiouse, the guitar s..." [+] Reply
"The overall theme of the “Laurel Hell” seems to be emotional vulnerability. Mitski sings about expectations, not feeling loved, and anxiety fairly earnestly. “Stay Soft” embraces the topic best with its scared but very affirming discussion of sex. A limitation is many of the songs feel underwritt..." [+] Reply
