"Arguably Rory Gallagher's best studio effort. His best work was done live, but this is definitely worth a listen. Several of these tracks were performed on his landmark Irish Tour album. This is blues-rock at its finest." Reply

"why? is one of those freaky artists that is pretty unclassifiable, i guess mostly part indie pop, part hip-hop. "Alopecia", the falling apart of a man (by the folicle), starts off "i'm not a ladies man, i'm a land-mine" in "the vowels, part 2", and so starts the falling apart of the narrator endi..." [+] 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

"Its been 30 years, time to listen to the music and not the image. Boy George and Culture Club were ultimately a rather short lived phenomenon, but that 18 months or so that they ruled the airwaves was a strong one and this album represents them at the peak of their powers, before overexposure and..."

"If you're expecting another Return to Cookie Mountain (or even a Dear Science), you'll be disappointed with this. But this album is fantastic in its own right - much more immediate and with tons of hooks. I'd almost call this alternative R&B over indie rock. Not to say it's completely hook-driven..." [+] Reply

"It never used to be like this. Gorillaz used to provide quality pop music that was both ambitious and cohesive. "Demon Days" & "Plastic Beach" may have had quite different tracks on each record, but both works were undeniably striking as a whole. Unfortunately when the overloaded Humanz dropped l..." [+] Reply

"I think too many people listen to music and always expect the lyrics to deliver, while ignoring the actual music itself. This is a band that demands you listen to their melodies, while the lyrics seem to exist just to keep a rhythm. Having said all that, I think these guys are pretty underrated. ..." [+] Reply
