"Another number one album and last at his peak, this has even more intricate use of keyboard overlaid sounds and contains great music." 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

"Book of Brilliant Things, Waterfront and Up on the Catwalk are all excellent tracks but there are some more forgettable tracks on this release compared with New Gold Dream and Once Upon a Time. I still class this one a part of the 80's trilogy of Simple Minds at their most creative." Reply

"Explosions In The Sky have found a formula and they stick to it here, but when the formula is just so good why would you change it up? As per other releases the guitars sound so comforting and so pure. The crescendos sound so triumphant and so inspiring. This album transports you to a world of pe..." [+] Reply

"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

"Bold, witty and on the nose, Rosenstock’s epic latest offering ‘HELLMODE’ spans the human range of emotions, from raging to tender, and is genuinely funny at times, despite the deadly serious subject matter." 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

"Feist’s sweet and sultry singing holds together this set of eclectic songs as they vary from peppy to moody to soulful to (almost) disco. The album flows smoothly from one sound to the next; Feist incorporates organs on one track, horns and finger-snapping on the next, guitars on the next, but al..." [+] Reply
