"This album is vastly underrated on this site. It's not even in the top 100 of the year it was released. I haven't looked at the entire 1995 chart, but surely this one deserves a spot." Reply

"A haunting set of songs, it will only get better with more listens. I really hope they continue to make music together, as this is way too good to be a one off. Bite The Hand is probably my favorite song of the year, and the EP overall is definitely my favorite release." Reply

"An absolutely beautiful album from an artist who is criminally overlooked. Quite lovely music from start to finish. Sublime." Reply

"Air provides a psychedelic caress between the disassociative culture that gave us ambient music and the idealistic and naive world of post war America which gave us The Birth of Cool. Synthesizers pulsate in a vast but colorless world of texture like a throbbing Ansel Adams photo; then angelic vo..." [+] Reply

"Nightwish's best and most eclectic release. Sure, it's cheesy in a few places, but that's just par for the course for the genre. Song of Myself is one of the best songs in the symphonic metal genre (and easily a top-5 Nightwish track) if you exclude the lengthy poem coda (I still like that segmen..." [+] Reply
"This album is fantastic. Yes, it may be very lo-fi, but the compositions and arrangements are superb. It's neo-progressive/experimental rock at its a absolute best. I can't say enough about this record." Reply

"This is my all time favourite album. The layers of guitar, the ingenuity of instrumental, the pain of the lyrics and the feeling of the voice are all perfect in my opinion. If you are not willing to give this album 3 or 4 listens, don't bother. You will not like it the first time, however, if you..." [+] Reply
