"All songs are a real sound experience. My favorites are: State of the Art andSomebody that I Used To Know. In your light and I feel better are the weakest songs on the album, but they are fine too." Reply

"In my opinion, nighthawks at the diner, is the album where Tom Waits finds his true voice.

"This is a great black metal album, excellent dark riffs for anyone who is looking for obscure music. The first track is specially good. On the downside, that 25 minute track steals a lot from the album. It just can't be ignored, its 25 minutes long!!!! That substracts a lot of points but you can ..." [+] Reply

"I love artists who name check their heritage , bands such as Wilco (Chicago) , The Replacements (Minnesota) and The Go-Betweens (Brisbane) quickly come to mind and now you can add Melbourne's R.B.C.F to the list with the wonderful 'Hope Downs' with these examples: Track 1: "An Air-Conditioned Man..."

"Sounding organic and alive this is a thoroughly impressive debut. Conjuring recollections of the paisley-soaked '60s and the lush sounds of '70s soul, all distilled through the multicultural flowering of the late '80s. Much like Prince, he plays nearly every instrument on the record, making this ..." [+] Reply
