"The album where the Cult reached the big time, but with some sacrifice to the originality of the sound they had created. The first side is much better than the second and contains the four hits." Reply

"One would think this kind of slick, perfectionist production and The Ramones would be a terrible fit, but it's a surprisingly good combination. Spector really taps into the band's "pop" side without diluting them at all. Love this album !" Reply

"Tom waits described his new album as 'cubist funk', and on the brilliant second track, hoist this rag, you can see what he means. Real gone, is probably Tom Waits' most challenging record. It's full of clattering blues and beautiful acoustic based songs. Opener, top of the hill, is scratchy rock ..." [+] Reply
