"As a teenager in 1979, I wore out my air guitar jamming to this one on headphones in my bedroom. Growing up in Nashville, Cheap Trick came through town once a year and I saw them every year for about 12 years. Have seen them several times off and on and while they're a bit older, they haven't mis..." [+] Reply

"Ben Gibbard seems to hate this album, basically saying it was thrown together in a recent interview. (i just think he doesn't connect with what he was feeling at that time anymore.) I think it's that at-the-moment, stream-of-consciousness writing that is the album's greatest asset, right alongsid..." [+] 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.

"Great album showing the great musical ability of the trio... Everybody must listening it..." Reply

This is no longer Will channeling a Bonnie "Prince" Billie to sing about the darkest recesses of his soul. This is just Will. Producing some of the best mature country & indie rock songs about love a..." [+] Reply

"Antony's voice was made for this. His crooning voice paired with Kim Ann Foxman's can really put the sparkle into the disco ball. Blind, You Belong (where Antony is near-breathtaking) and Raise Me Up are the stand out tracks with appropriate songwriting by the mastermind of the project, Andrew Bu..." [+] 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
