"The album that brought Aerosmith back into the big league. Permanent vacation, is a thoroughly enjoyable rock'n'roll record. Obviously designed to be successful, it saw the band employing professional songwriters, such as Desmond Child, to work alongside them to bring a more commercial edge to th..." [+] Reply

"This has a slightly more rock sound but it's still definitely the Cranberries. It's a good album, definitely an interesting one in their discography. I know a couple people who say this is their favorite by them." Reply

"One of my earliest vinyl’s I bought that I never considered was hard rock but had an arena rock style. I’ve played this album over and over from every media format that came out over time. I’m Your Captain is probably the most recognizable song heard on the radio at that time. I love both version..." [+] Reply
"Beautifully written, sung and performed. Abigail Morris is one the finest vocalists in modern music. A buffet for the ears" Reply
"This is one of my favorite bands of the 2010's and this album is one of their best. It's a concept album and it's very long but that doesn't do it any bad because there is always something interesting to discover here. At a first listen you would mistake this for a hardcore album but in fact it's..." [+] Reply

"This album is so beautiful, if I’m the first to say it, it is so beautiful that it makes you cry. It gives so many emotions. I hate crying and I haven’t cried many times the last 10 years. I’d say about 9 times in the last 10 years. This album was one of them. Her music is so touching and etherea..." [+] Reply

"Understandably overshadowed by what would come later from the Mk II version of the band. However, this is a very solid debut album that the Mk I version of the band would never be able to top. Hush, Mandrake Root, Help!, and Hey Joe are all great." Reply

"Number two album of 1995, right behind. The GZA-Liquid Swords. Great year in music no doubt. This album is almost perfect, and is responsible for the future of metal/metalcore in the late 90's and early 2000's the Bjloer brothers were truly ahead of their time!" Reply
"One of the few albums that have made me cry. San Geronimo is one of the best songs ever made." Reply
