"My personal favorite Funkadelic album (prefer it over the fan favorite "Maggot Brain." Fans of psychedelic music will be impressed. The lyrics take a backseat and the album is more concentrated on jamming. Excellent guita mastery from Eddie Hazel" Reply

"A great early death metal album. The production quality is pretty low, and this is easily one of the least technical albums Death released, but it is still great. If you are interested in getting into old school death metal, this is a good starting point. My favorite track is probably born dead." Reply
"An enjoyable record with a nice raw sound with Mick especially blowing some wonderful harp. Being the blues it can get to being a bit samey but it's not too bad at all. I wonder if this is just a stop gap or the final Stones album. If it is it's a good way to end it by bringing everything full ci..." [+] Reply

"You know, however big a douche he is; however much I hate that my wife got me into his music; this dude can shred; and this album is a killer jam." Reply
"My favourite Elbow albu. Combines the edgy alternative ethos from the first 2 albums with the more accomplished songwriting of the recent outings. Great expectations and my very best are particularly strong." Reply

"I think he’s finally released an album that might just rival Person Pitch. Every song offers something to wrap your ears around and I'm really enjoying the gorgeous longing in the penultimate track Elegy for Noah Lou." Reply

"Great CD. Getting Ry Cooder to play along was genius. Hard to single out songs 'cuz the whole record is strong. But I think "Memphis" and "Lipstick" are faves." Reply

"I feel this album is quite underrated, yes, it doesn't quite hold up with the first 3 albums in Belle & Sebastian's discography, but then again, what does? With 4 different vocalists, it is always going to be a little patchy, and for me, the best tracks are easily the ones with Stuart Murdoch on ..." [+] Reply

"Look, I love First Two Pages of Frankenstein. It's a record that took time for me to appreciate, but that I love like pretty much all of The National's discography. But Laugh Track? The band is COOKING. Where the band's songs from High Violet on became bedded in moody textures, and even their sma..." [+] Reply
