"One of the few albums that have made me cry. San Geronimo is one of the best songs ever made." Reply

"I just assumed everybody was hyping this back in the day for no good reason, but now that I've finally taken the trouble to hear the whole thing all the way through, I have to admit... it really does sound like nothing I've ever heard before. I suspect they're using a lot of backwards-masking and..." [+] 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

"First half is pretty corny IMO. I get that Joey didn't want his message to get lost in translation but I feel like I'm getting beat over the head. Lyrically the second half is a lot better but the production is lacking compared to the first half. I wish Joey mixed his modern sound with his 90s so..." [+] Reply

"‘O Monolith’ doesn’t quite reach the lofty peaks of ‘Bright Green Field’ in my humble opinion, but still proves itself as a worthy sophomore album nonetheless." Reply

"The concept and aesthetic of this album could of easily collapsed into a self-ingulgent pretension mess, but thankfully this is not the case. A truly terrifying and brutally sincere performance." Reply

"I'll always give this album extra credit because I played it to death in high school. It seems they never matched this. Don't assume it's only Runaway Train. There's plenty of catchy alt-rock here. Too bad they were overshadowed by Seattle." Reply

"The best Zappa album of the Waka/Jawaka and Hot Rats period, Grand Wazoo is also one of the most underrated within his extensive canon. Although the playing is possibly not as strident or experimental as say the jazz of 'Weasels', it does not enter the realms of kitsch as is the case with the ove..." [+] Reply

"Happy Mondays doing what they do best. The Mondays were always the sleaziest band ever :-) This was great, along with their Hallelujah EP and the Madchester VHS video spawned a drug fuelled teenage rebellion from me and the rest is history." Reply
