"Clifford Brown was an absolute master of the hard bop trumpet and this is his most articulate release. Max Roach's drums are energetic and expressive and the rest of the ensemble fits perfectly. This is a quintessential jazz album." Reply

"Music critics started calling this sort of music "math rock" because they got tired of having to use terms like "angular," "abrasive," "aggressive," "rhythmically complex," "sharp-edged," "start-stop," and "spiky" all the time. Also, I suspect they didn't really like it, so they figured if they a..." [+] Reply

"I don't know, I feel rather displeased by this new GYBE album. The four pieces of this short outfit have been around for a while in their live material, and I'm pretty sure this feels a lot more powerful on stage than in studio, but it's like if they weren't trying to experiment on this one. You ..." [+] Reply

"Its been 30 years, time to listen to the music and not the image. Boy George and Culture Club were ultimately a rather short lived phenomenon, but that 18 months or so that they ruled the airwaves was a strong one and this album represents them at the peak of their powers, before overexposure and..."

"McKinley Dixon has come into his own as one of music's most thoughtful emcees. The heart and soul that he puts into his work shines through in every bar, every beat, and every minute detail is stunning. It's a joy to experience his music" Reply

"Who doesn't like symphonic-prog death metal with a Valkyrie-like female singer from the Netherlands? I certainly can't think of anybody, except maybe my Mom, and some of her friends... also, most of my friends... Anyway, it's like they took all the metal subgenres that everyone makes fun of all t..." [+] Reply

"Mix about two parts stadium-era Simple Minds with one part Big Chair-era Tears for Fears and you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect here. Singer and main songwriter Gustavo Cerati even sounds like the perfect cross between Jim Kerr and Roland Orzabal. It doesn't get much more '1986' than t..." [+] Reply
