"This one time I had a huge crush on a girl after kissing her this one night and I couldn't take it anymore and so I met up with her the night after and spoke with her and she had mutual feelings but didn't know if she was ready for a relationship with me or not, that night we ended up kissing aga..."

"A precursor of what was yet to come. This is a very good album and the presence of Neil Peart in the drum stool countered with his lyrical expertise hints to exciting times ahead. Anthem and By Tor set the scene for the classics which will follow" Reply

"Crazy Rhythms gets all the props but as far as I'm concerned, this is the ultimate Feelies album. It's kind of like the positive version of WL/WH (dig all the healthy positive vibes coming through the insistent massive jamming) and almost as good." Reply

"This is the album Wilco should've made as the "A Ghost Is Born" 180 degree return to the "Being There" phase. They do everything Wilco did with "Sky Blue Sky", but demonstrate more of a fresher, rootsier perspective. There are elements of funk, rock, bluegrass and punk on this album." Reply

"I think this is easily her best album. Some great songs and some that don't get your attention at all. Pretty good overall though." Reply

""What Goes On" was already a great song, but at 8:50, the live is simply epic!" Reply

"WTF is 'baroque shoegaze' when it's at home? Some phased vocals and effects pedals aside, I've always seen Giant Steps as a 90s White Album, in which a bunch of scousers (namely a guitarist with frizzy hair and a bald geezer) borrow a dog-eared copy of the Great Merseyside Songwriters Handbook fr..."

"This is where the first signs of "Quantity over Quality" started to appear in Dream Theater's work. Don't get me wrong - they're still one of my favorite bands - but what keeps them from being -my- favorite is that they don't trim the fat. This album, and most of the succeeding ones - clocks in a..." [+] Reply

"And The Glass Handed Kites is a record that works better as a complete album than as a collection of songs. This was recognized by the band, as they created seamless transitions from track to track. The transitions create a structure wherein the songs are movements within the larger framework of ..." [+] Reply
