"I'm suprised to see this album so low ranked compared to the rest of Bob Dylan's. You can find Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) solo guitars like in Sweetheart like you, Dylan's voice as strong as ever on Jokerman and other good songs like I an I or closing ballad Don't fall apart on me tonight.

"A beautiful album centred around unrequited love. k d Lang moves away from her country style and delivers an album full of melancholy and self retribution. Best tracks, Save Me, Mind Of Love, Constant Craving, Season of Hollow Soul and Miss Chatelaine. (First added to chart: 14/06/2012)" Reply

"Neil Young's Unplugged performance comes at a good time in his career when Harvest Moon was just released and he was performing with The Stray Gators. The first half of this show has Neil playing acoustically on his own and the band joins in for the back half. There's a good variety of tracks in ..." [+] Reply

"Despite an awfully bad production quality, this 1989 East-Bay album is awesome. It's considered as THE first ska-punk record and I believe it will go down in history as one of the greatest album of the genre. But even if you're not a huge fan of that type of music, you can still enjoy the energy ..." [+] Reply

"Very impressive stuff! I've been a bit impartial in the past on her music, but this one struck all the right chords for me. My biggest gripe is it's EP length but marketed as an LP. I can't get enough of this one." Reply

"Starts off like the soundtrack to a classic film noir, and ends in a locked loop hum from a possible vintage indian funeral. A mysterious and entertaining escalator indeed." Reply

"The best album of 1985 (the year sucked), and one of the best emo albums. The Rites' only studio record is one of the most visceral compilations of cerebral music there is, and probably one of the most influential albums on the decade. The general sound is very lo-fi but that doesn't mean it soun..." [+] Reply

"An album like this should make me want to tell Julien Baker to get a grip. Instead, I just want to cry with her. She just gets it." Reply
