"One of the best albums of all time, a great "capture" of a bombastic live rock and roll concert. Some great guitar work from Ace Frehley and the Peter Criss drum solo is epic. One of my favorite albums!"  Reply

"Despite the website’a rankings, Gran Turismo tends to be the weakest Cardigans album for me. The high points are definitely the weakest and less frequent, and has more slog than any of the others. Still good, but a weak point in an attempt to rebound from the success Lovefool brought. Best songs:..."  [+]  Reply

"Tumbling towards ecstasy, is without doubt Sarah Mcclachlan's best album. It's a beautiful record that has influences ranging from Joni Mitchell to Enya. There are great songs here, from opener, possession, to the achingly lovely, good enough, from the sweet, ice cream, to the atmospheric title t..."  [+]  Reply

"Who are you, is one of The Who's weakest albums, it's obvious that Pete Townshend is struggling for inspiration, and in truth, the band should have knocked it on the head after the, quadrophenia, record. Opener, new song, is extremely disappointing, a song about having nothing to write about, it ..."  [+]  Reply

"I can't believe there is only one comment about this all-time classic album. Gorgeous harmonies. Perfect. Strongly influenced by the Byrds. My favourite track is I Don't Want Control of You which Norman wrote about his baby daughter. Author Nick Hornby, (he of the love letter to mix tapes in his ..."  [+]  Reply

"There’s is a recurring movie trope whereby the hero eventually realises they are and always have been in love with the nerdy geek next door. I pretty much feel the same way about Fountains Of Wayne, only understanding and appreciating recently how much they actually mean to me. Since “Radiation V..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm not a Willie Nelson fan or a country music fan, but a friend of mine took me to the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago to hear Willie Nelson play this album in its entirety. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed that show, and so I went out and got the album. These are covers of some classic Americ..."  [+]  Reply

"Nebraska, Ghost of Tom Joad, Devils & Dust... it seems each decade Springsteen eschews the easy route and puts out a non-commercial curveball, to varying degrees of success. The Ghost of Tom Joad was released in 1995 in the middle of an economic boom in the U.S., at probably the lowest point in S..."  [+]  Reply
