"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
"This is actually a pretty good record. Almost a throw back to their earlier material. Their best record besides "Relayer" without the classic "Yes" line up." Reply

"Tracks 1 (reprised at 6), 2, and 5 are especially strong. A nice blend of traditional and modern styles (at least modern by 1964 standards). Still sounds fresh and dynamic all these years later. The middle two tracks are excellent as well, but not up to the level as the bookends. 9.5/10!" 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

"The people rating this album are smoking dope. This is the highest form of high art. The most gifted band in Jazz, performing the most inspired music, live to a recording device. Nothing short of unbelievable what they pulled off here. This is one of a few albums that had every member at top form..." [+] Reply
