"Honestly, this is my favorite album of all time, it taught me that music was art when I was 11, and it still very much holds up. Every song is memorable, but I can't say that every song is 100/100. Supper's Ready is simply above 100. It influenced me as a musician, and as a music listener. It's a..." [+] Reply

"The greatest punk album of all time in my opinion. It should be noted I have not heard every punk record, but I've heard a lot. And this is the best in my opinion. It narrowly edges out "Never mind the bollocks" for that distinction. This record is loud and abrasive, but the really great thing ab..." [+] Reply

"This album is definitely underrated in so many ways. At the time it was released in 1967 it was groundbreaking and helped influence many other styles of music. The idea of including an orchestra is just genius. Hands down one of the best and most unique albums out there. Much fun to have with thi..." [+] Reply

"A blistering return to form after the slight disappointment of, is this desire?. Stories of the city, is a beautifully produced record, PJ Harvey's New York album is dripping with references to the big Apple, and is without doubt one of her best LP's. Great songs in, kamikaze, beautiful feeling, ..." [+] Reply

"i want to like this but after the first couple of songs it just seems like the band are repeating themselves and are too afraid to go out of their comfort zone. Crystalised is a great song but I'm struggling to connect with the rest of the album." Reply

"One of the funnest, and least emotionally draining post-beatles albums, and one I would most likely recommend to anyone wishing to explore the Beatles solo work for the first time. I personally think it's McCartney's best solo album, though it is technically a wings album without the title or cre..." [+] Reply
