"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

"Tumbling towards ecstasy, is without doubt Sarah Mcclachlan's best album. It's a beautiful record that has influences ranging from Joni Mitchell to Enya. There are great songs here, from opener, possession, to the achingly lovely, good enough, from the sweet, ice cream, to the atmospheric title t..." [+] 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
"Side one, the studio set, (the first six tracks) is as good as any British invasion of its time, including the Beatles. Heart Full of Soul is for my money their best track ever. Side two (starting with Smokestack Lightning) is live tracks, really good garage band blues. If I find this album on Vi..." [+] Reply

"This man is the glue that holds Crosby Stills and Nash together, the other two gents write a little too sickly sentimentally for my taste, but when Stills brings his blues dimension (and a suggestion of country music) to proceedings they are the incredible unit we know and love, listen to this al..."

"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
"Fantastic Mach 1 album! April is one of the most epic songs ever! It's my third favorite Deep Purple album. I'd consider it underrated for sure." Reply
