"This was the second album from Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps. It was released in 1957, four months after its predecessor, “Bluejean Bop”.

"This ranking is criminal. Lopsided? Hourglass? Hulahoops Wounds? Napoleon Solo??? Easily on par with Relationship of Command, just less polished, which for this band is a good thing."  Reply

"Disappointing and an album I’ll never listen to ever again, F ing In The Bush’s and Go Let It Out are ok the rest of the album is lame. This was where Oasis lost me as I knew they were to never return to the glory of their first 2 albums . I think even Oasis knew at this point it was the beginnin..."  [+]  Reply

"In my opinion, the most energetic jazz album ever made, the sheer power of Ed Blackwell`s drum playing is awe-inspiring. This is Ornette not only at his best, but more creative as he tackles standard forms (Blues, ballads and nursery rhyme-like melodies) in a way that has not been herad before or..."  [+]  Reply

"Just another measly reason why i love Bradford Cox to death. Not only can he front one of the most dynamic contemporary indie rock bands but he can also create layered, atmospheric and enjoyable little gems of joy that turn me from an all-round lover of music into biased little sissy that may as ..."  [+]  Reply
