"The name of the band checks out. This is such a whimsical, colorful psychedelic folk record. So much going on, but it's never distracting. I don't feel overwhelmed at all. This album is a must-listen for anyone interested in the 60s psychedelic scene." 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

"Not as good as the previous Green River and Cosmo's Factory but still a good album with great songs. John Fogerty doesn't write bad songs as his style is deeply rooted on traditional americana. The foundation is always solidly strong and grounded as an oak." Reply

"Don't know if religious people are downrating the album because of the pagan, iconoclastic, witchy imagery, but this album, imo, deserves a much higher rating. It's a stunning work if you like your electronic, pulsating pop music dark and brooding." Reply
"I agree CDoor. This is an overlooked gem of an album that deserves wider recognition. As you imply, Tuxedomoon represented the more interesting and intellectual strand of the new-wave/post-punk bands to have emerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s (eg. Rip Rig and Panic, James White and the..." [+] Reply
"Before the Dawn Heals Us is one big epic journey that blasts through your own mind. Although some tracks on the album don't fully match to the others, the album flows through a pattern of increasing and decreasing intensity. It truly is masterpiece that contains some M83's best work." Reply

"Thank you awesomness. The only reason I found this guy is because of your chart, which I only looked at because your avatar is one of my favorite albums. A diamond in the rough indeed, he should be a household name." Reply

"Adele recently put out a pop album that received raves from critics, extraordinary sales numbers, and a countless number of awards. This was due to her incredible voice, emotionally written lyrics, and flat out enjoyable music. A few years prior, the album that fit the exact description above was..." [+] Reply
"It is strange that this is considered as EP. It is more than 30 minutes long after all. "Reign in Blood" by Slayer is 29 minutes long and it is not even the shortest album of all-time. The Donnas made shorter with "American Teenage Rock N' Roll Machine". However, this just amazing. It is like a s..." [+] Reply
