"In the path to Melody Nelson (which was the album I actually wanted to listen) I stumbled across this amazing pop gem, this guy has an amzing musical sense and every song of the album benefits of it with catchy arrangements and sweet, lovable melodies that stuck in your head for days all along, c..."

"What’s the best album no one has heard of ? Music snobs have preached the the virtues of this album for decades and with good reason. Coming out in 69 this album was swamped by the land mark releases from The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin and very much suffered as the hippie summer of ..." [+] Reply

"One of the coolest records ever. Still Bill, is still Bill's greatest album. Songs such as, use me, and especially, who is he, are just absolutely stunning. One of the great soul records. Essential." Reply

"Having much, much less swing than Snivilization, I don't get why this one is on top. On the first two tracks they rely on a very dull and basic form of a Chemical Brothers styled drum loop, so that all the enjoyment has to be found in the ambience, which isn't that good in the first place, and wh..."

"It isn't really innovative, but it's consistent, I can't find a bad song here. While it hasn't got the grip of an Arctic Monkeys record, you can definitely hear the ambition and talent of these young lads. The production is spot on, it is full of bangers, and you can hear some Strokes and Oasis i..." [+] Reply
