"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
"where's the love for this album? it's godspeed you black emperor meets lana del rey - what's not to love?" Reply
"Such a fun album the year it was released. I fell in love with Edie and the New Bohemian sound. It was simple, yet some of the songs off kilter and a touch sad. It was something different at the time, and when I saw them in Toronto's Massey Hall, I threw my flip-up sunglasses up to Edie and she p..." [+] Reply
"The second half of this album is a bit weaker, but this is possibly the greatest piece of art that Lady Gaga has ever produced. And this site has criminally under rated LG and other adjacent pop artists for decades and it is time for all of you boomers to realize that pop music in 2025 is far bet..." [+] Reply

"Amazing album. Not released until 14 years after Chris Bell's death. It saddens me to think of all the great music he could have made and the possibility that he could have reformed Big Star at some point. Title song, You and Your Sister, Speed of Sound are melodic classics. The album is a must f..." [+] Reply

"More like, surrealistic pillow, after the psychedelic experimentation of, Baxters, it's probably the last great Jefferson Airplane album. Some great tracks, lather, the title track and David Crosby's, triad. Airplane, epitomized that Californian sixties hippy thing that it was never going to work..." [+] Reply

"This album has entered my Overall list at the expense of Burial’s EPs on their own which gives me room to add other deserving albums. I want to highlight Kindred and Truant/Rough Sleeper as the 2 EPs on this compilation that tower above the others. They have so much to offer the avid, immersive l..." [+] Reply

""Love My Way" seemingly put this band on the map, but the rest of the songs on this 1982 album match that track's quality and energy!!! Richard Butler's sneering delivery and the synth-y feel of these songs distinguish them from many similar bands of the era." Reply
