"Such a blast to listen to. First time making my way through Blind Melon's discography but this one easily surpasses their debut album for me, at least as far as first listens are concerned. It lacks a radio hit single type song like "No Rain", but it's far more consistent, unpredictable, multilay..." [+] Reply
"Blur's debut album is a lot better than some people give it credit for. It's got a nice big sound and some great songs. There's no other way, is very good, obviously influenced by the Manchester scene of the early nineties, but the rest of the album is fine too. Bang, sing, and, I'm so high, are ..." [+] Reply

"For some reason I have not given this one the amount of time that I have with most of the other Fall albums. Apart from Rebellious Jukebox and Frightened, nothing immediately stood out. I have since come to appreciate No Xmas For John Quays, Futures And Pasts, Music Scene and the title track, but..." [+] Reply

"Oooh... I like it. Feist isn't happy. She's developed an edge. This album is reflective and retrospective. She's looking back on failure and conflict. It gives her music a darker edge, and the sounds have become more layered, more complex, more risky. Well done Feist. This may be your masterpiece." [+] Reply

"Elis's delicate voice goes perfectly with the heartbreaking lyrics and the complex but simple sound of bossa nova. This album is wonderful and timeless." Reply

"Blues doesn't hold my interest for long, but this is a clear master doing his thing live." Reply

"I like this so much better than so much of Bowie's work, it's amazing that this album didn't get more attention from fans. It's bittersweet, and sometimes downright sad, but it's also the best thing on a musical level that Bowie has done since 1992's Buddha of Suburbia. The instrumentation is spa..." [+] Reply

"The Moody Blues generally don't do it for me. Maybe I need to be taking something when I listen to their music. But on Seventh Sojourn, they have ditched the poetry and many of the proginess and gone for more of a simple rock album. Every song is great but favourites are: Lost in a World, New Hor..." [+] Reply
"Most of these are tracks from the In Through the Out Door sessions. The songs didn’t make the final cut on a less-than-great album for a reason. Zeppelin had very few unreleased gems throughout their career. One exception is “We're Gonna Groove,” a great bluesy rocker from the glory years. Most o..." [+] Reply
