"A great follow-up to Drunk Tank Pink. The record starts off strong (and fast) with Fingers of Steel and Six-Pack, before transitioning into Yankees, a slower-paced track that continues to grow on me more and more. The band also showcases some nice variety with songs like Adderall and Orchid. I th..."  [+]  Reply

"García, the Latin American lennon!!! This is Charly García`s debut as a composer. This album has adolescent melodies deeper than those of the beatles in their first stage, and adult songs full of existentialism. "Canción para mi muerte", talks about death; "dime quien me lo robó" about teenage ho..."  [+]  Reply

"If you're a Ramones fan or a fan of 70's punk this is a no brainer. Great 1977 New Years Eve show at the height of the Ramones power. Original 4 Johnny Joey Tommy and Dee Dee. This is well recorded, sonically great and so so satisfying. One of the greatest live albums EVER and my personal favorit..."  [+]  Reply

"It should be made absolutely clear that this is bright shiny disco pop tunes, and nothing but it. If that is your kind of thing, this is a GREAT compilation from start to finish. Only a couple of tracks that could have been omitted, and really just Summer Night City mysteriously missing (probably..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my favourite singles bands, it's only relatively recently that I've really started listening to their albums. This is their punk-pop beginnings and its a superb start, although probably not one for the listener who likes their more melodic later offerings."  Reply

"Current rap and pop stars can try to brag about how hard they are, but this man not only lived "the life" but bragged about it every moment he could. Pretty much the only things on Rick James' mind are where he's getting his next drink, his next line, and his next girl. He can afford to do this b..."  [+]  Reply

"Don't not be swayed by all of the negative and ambivalent ratings this deserves a much higher spot in these charts. Talented vocals, multifaceted dimensions, able to master the test of high volume levels. Absolutely bloody brilliant!"  Reply

"Really good album. I never fell in love with Reunions (the last one). I have a feeling Weathervanes will be on repeat for me. After one listen I feel like I like it as least as much as Nashville Sound. Great songwriting. "From the gut" lyrics. Music is Isebellian - nothing that radically new soun..."  [+]  Reply
