"This is not a lyrical, deep, socially conscious, especially meaningful album but it isn't trying to be. It is just really well made with some amazing detailed production and just sounds really fucking good." Reply

"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

"Definitely, not a jazz expert. But, I found this album enjoyable given the more melodic tenor soloing over just bass and drums. Features Ray Brown on bass and Shelly Manne on drums. This album is credited with the birth of the jazz technique of "strolling", which is sax soloing over bass and drum..." [+] Reply
"Are we really blowing a load every time we hear a string section? I've grown to enjoy her as a personality and, well, as much as I really want to like her music I don't think I've come across an output that have felt so underwhelming compared to the hype and praise that's been heaped upon it.

"By far the most underrated album I have seen on this site to date. My Morning Jacket can be appreciated by people who are fans of multiple genres. I'm not a big fan of American Dad, but when I found out they dedicated an entire episode to MMJ I had to find it. If you like the show find that episo..." [+] Reply

"This was their biggest album by far (2BS 3140), it came out when Queen, "News of the world" and "Aja" were out..at the height of 70s album sales..this was a huge album and got a lot of airplay that Little Feat hadn't had before. This album was our chain's biggest selling album for 1977, just beat..." [+] Reply

"One of the most gorgeous, most organic, and most underrated releases of 2013. Justin Vernon has gone on to create something that separates itself from Bon Iver, and stands up to the quality of Vernon's best work. Solid stuff right here." Reply

"This is Al Green's best selling album not counting greatest hits..and "Love and Happiness" is probably in my top 5 favorite R/B tracks..at the time, 1972, "Love and Happiness" was so big on black radio, it was the song that sold the album much more than "I'm still in love with you" single..of cou..."

"Another first-rate album from Fuck Buttons, not quite as briliantly booby-trapped as Tarot Sport, but they still know how to create one incendiary experience. More like the soundtrack to particulary intense raver rather than to the dropping of an atomic bomb" Reply
