"It's insane that this came out in 1996; it's from a different time and place entirely. It is a stunning debut album." 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

"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
"This superbly orchestrated album is full of imposing and intense arrangements that merge Slavic-style hymns, Gregorian liturgy, Celtic folk music, Tibetan chants and Renaissance Madrigals. The stately symphonic overtones evoke early King Crimson with a modern twist." Reply

""Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed on wall street, A single mom of three, a TV personality" gushes the lead singer on the opener. The bizarre imagery of 'Chamber The Cartridge' is all about the world ready to explode and collapse on itsown weight. So a typical Rise Against albu..." [+] Reply
"Jethro Tull have 3 types of albums: a) near perfect masterpieces; b) good albums; c) weak albums. This one is a good album. You should not get this album as an introduction to the band but if you heard a bit of them and tend to like it, this one is a good choice to get some more. On the heavier s..." [+] Reply

"Really digging Ty’s forays into jazz fusion, just like on last year’s self-entitled album. However I still prefer the latter release. That’s not to say that this one isn’t some high-octane, white knuckle, adrenaline pumping shit too. Because it is! It’s yet another moment of freaky garage brillia..." [+] Reply

"Much more uneven album than the prior greats from the Eagles, without any career-defining highlights, so it's quite comfortably my least favorite of their "classic six" records. That said, there's still good stuff here—Heartache Tonight and In the City are fun, and Timothy Schmit gives a nice per..." [+] Reply

"Here we have got a very original and beautiful album. The tones and feels are very Swedish, the melodies contain impressions from classical and folk music. A very meditative and solemn album, Recommended" Reply
