"Lanegan has one of greatest rock voices of all times, and he uses it at his best on this album. A blast from beginning till end, and another great duet (this time with PJ Harvey). Would trade this album for the entire top 20 of 2004, apart from the Arcade Fire and Nick Cave albums."  Reply

"If you're a Ramones fan or a fan of 70's punk this is a no brainer. Great 1977 New Years Eve show at the height of the Ramones power. Original 4 Johnny Joey Tommy and Dee Dee. This is well recorded, sonically great and so so satisfying. One of the greatest live albums EVER and my personal favorit..."  [+]  Reply

"Unless your name is Marley, your chances of having a well known reggae album in the US are slim and none. Which is too bad, because Culture was one of the best reggae bands you'd ever hear. Two Sevens Clash was born as a vision by singer Joseph Hill, predicting that the date 7/7/77 would be a hol..."  [+]  Reply

"After all these years I still love this album to death. It's one of a kind, and absolutely deviates miles from the mainstream music, categorizing itself under the alternative rock/pop label. But that doesn't speak to the various genres on this record actually; it's rather colourful. It's emotiona..."  [+]  Reply

"The Small Faces' first album for Immediate is really an overlooked classic. The album, consists of entirely new original songs. Bubbling fantasy and playing pleasure is what characterizes the album and it obvious that the band took and enjoyed the freedom given to them by Immediate to further dev..."  [+]  Reply

"Whether or not this is a bunch of old outtakes or unfinished tracks doesn't really make a difference to my ears. Elliott’s masterful and seemingly effortless songwriting shines through often without much instrumental backing other than a clean acoustic guitar. It's not lo-fi like Roman Candle or ..."  [+]  Reply

"There are so many songs by Silversun Pickups that I love, but I often find that I end up skipping tracks on most of their albums. That's not the case with this one. Even the intro does a good job of setting the stage. When I browse the tracklist I can hear every track in my head and I love them a..."  [+]  Reply

"I don't know if this is breaking any new ground, maybe not but the playing is great and the riffs are really catchy. Gets a bit samey after the first half, but I like this band's sound so much that I didn't mind. Thrash/death metal classic and a great listen. I'd feel bad for anyone who missed bo..."  [+]  Reply
