"I have no idea what the point of this is, but this has to be one of the best albums I've ever heard. Easily in my top 15." Reply
"Nevermind: the whole damn thing is superb. Another excellent work from Pharoah that nearly rivals Karma. There's no beating Karma, but this is still an essential album. It has a very cool flow to it; always moving and changing and progressing, while always toeing the line between form and formles..." [+] Reply

"All shapes of sadness on this album. But as a whole the album seems a bit boring. Good songs: 1. Normal song. Magic mix of voice and acoustic guitar. Dreamy 2. Dark parts. Sentimental and honest with nice image: "dark parts" 3. Hood. The most interesting, has drive. I like the line "U would never..." [+] Reply

"A terrific singer-songwriter album. It's pretty dark and introspective and makes an excellent headphones or solitary listen in the dark, with coffee and/or alcohol. Night Shift is one of the best songs I've heard this year." Reply

"One of the greatest tenor albums ever. One of the greatest jazz albums ever. This is a must for any fan of sax, jazz or hard bop." Reply

"Well, this is not what I expected. It's less Hipster-ish and more Lilith Fair/NPR-ish. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But if you're going to travel down that well-trodden road, it would be nice to bring something fresh to it. Baker doesn't. Stylistically, the artist Baker most reminds me of ..." [+] Reply

"Mixed feelings about this one. It has some great songs like Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies, Saturday Superhouse, 9/15ths and Machines but 4-5 tracks are quite skippable. The rest of the record shows Neil's improvement in songwriting. Overall a good listen but nothing more" Reply
"One of the most underrated punk albums ever. This is pure fury, which ends up sounding a little silly at times (the vials on the first two tracks) but is unrelenting. Sex Bomb might be the greatest punk song ever - horns are something that are lacking in punk, which is weird considering how great..." [+] Reply

"THE REAL REASON JOE WALSH JOINED THE EAGLES Everyone thinks it was for the money. Or the copious groupies. Good guesses but … WRONG! It was THIS, their debut album - one of the best mixtures of both hard and soft rock of the entire 70s. I mean I LOVE Joe Walsh and consider his James Gang Rides Ag..." [+] Reply
