"This always reminds me of the first time I ever went to Madrid, in Sept 2000. I went into this cool looking bar one afternoon and ordered a beer. I'm not sure if it was playing when I first went in but it came on at some point and it really had the perfect vibe for the place and time, very chille..." [+] Reply
"The true problem with this album is that while listening to it, i'm thinking about how much better rhythms and melodies would fit in better, but no making it a rehash of something else already released makes more money." Reply

"Album of the year for 1955" Reply
"Somehow produced in 1988, it foresaw the stoner rock movement of the 90s while reviving the Cream feel. A very solid album. Here you see the band of the architect / producer of the Kyuss / Queens of the Stone Age group of bands." Reply
"A nice album, similar to this year's Case, Lang and veirs. Good songs, nice arrangements and wonderful performances from Dolly, Emmylou and Linda make this a thoroughly enjoyable record. Sweet music." Reply
"Some truely classic songs on this album. Nobody's child is probably the saddest song in history. It could easily be on Lou Reed's Berlin album!" Reply

"There really is only one word to describe this album. Pain. This album truly is a look through the eyes of drug addled genius. Some of the guitars on this thing are truly extraordinary. To hear Frusciante scream and cry his way through this album is truly something that should be experienced by e..." [+] Reply
"Sounds of goa trance 10 years before it was even invented. Amazing." Reply
"A stunning album of absolutely beautiful acoustic based songs. There is a feeling of the epic here and every track is wonderfully crafted to produce a mesmerising record. Excellent." Reply
"Crimson Glory are about the only band to produce two consistent high quality albums in the 1980s. And while they might sing songs about communism and dragons, which now sounds a bit silly, the production work is top notch and the melodies wonderful. Shame they weren't able to maintain the momentu..." [+] Reply
