"Unquestionably the best introduction to live Phish that any non-fan could hope to receive from a hyper obsessed fan, A Live One has got a little bit of everything: Songy songs, wacky vocal jams, wild jams, and a 30-fucking-minute Tweezer." Reply

"Full on 80s reverb guitar project. Gets a bit repetative after a while, but it's a good sound." Reply
"García, the Latin American lennon!!! This is Charly García`s debut as a composer.

"Another great album from UMO. They're really great at mining totally fresh sounds by deconstructing various genres and pinching elements from all over the place. Hunnybee might be my favourite song of the year so far." Reply

"I thought this album, like many Kent's, would be played out of my mind, as I played it manymany times and for specific reasons, not there now. But no, it stays, it's not broken, forgotten or disliked. I still care." Reply
