"I assumed quite early on in listening to this album that I wasn’t going to be on board with its quite rigid folksy deconstruction of medieval British life, dedicating a track each to eleven different members of society. I was quickly shut up by the superbly good songwriting, which reaches a peak ..." [+] 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 ..."

"I think this album is the most underrated and not appreciated of Nick Cave. It is not only an attempt to play blues music. All songs have that much space and quietness to succumb the ominous violence. And even the Dylan cover of Wanted Man breathes heavenly under the impression of The Birthday Pa..." [+] Reply

"I predict that this album would become a classic. Please indicate to me if I'm wrong. This is the first time as I reviewed the 2010's disk. I'll be slowly followed by other ..." Reply
"Best song is Love Nest. A bit of a difficult album to get into though." Reply
"I listen to an album like this and wonder why Wishbone Ash wasn't bigger. Super crisp instrumentation highlighted by the band's always excellent guitar work, made both accessible enough for casual listeners and intricate enough for deeper fans. Talk about a band full of hidden gems" Reply
"I remember I was disappointed when I listened to it for the first time - although (or because) I liked the earlier albums very much. This one grew on me almost everytime I listened to it, and pretty soon it became my favourite Doves album. It is a pity that it still is the last record they released." [+] Reply
