"After the musically and thematically ambitious The Band, Stage Fright is a much more modest and stripped back effort. The songs are much more personal, with the group telling their own stories rather than America’s stories; the title track is about Robertson’s struggle with stage fright in his ca..." [+] Reply
"You guys moaning about not liking the compilations, saying stuff like you don't like them being removed from their "original albums", well, a lot of those songs weren't even originally on any albums. If you want certain songs, I.e; I feel fine, she loves you, paperback writer, lady Madonna, hey j..." [+] Reply

"Every year there seems to be an album in the noise rock, post-punk scene that seemingly appears out of nowhere. This is that album in 2023." Reply

"Starts out strong with three great tracks, but then does not manage to get back up there for the remainder. Still a good mainstream midtempo rocker." Reply

"This may be one of the most grossly underrated albums of the 21st. century." Reply
"Acclaimed by critics but strangely unknown to the general public. I think this is a great psychedelic album that deserves to be considered among the best albums of the 60's." Reply

"This is an overlooked masterpiece. It's an awesome rock and roll record. It includes perhaps one of the most heartbreakingly honest songs ever written in "You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory". Really, I don't know what exactly it is about this record that makes me feel so close to it and atta..." [+] Reply

"I definitely prefer the sludgier side of Mastodon to their melodic side, but this album has a nice mix of both. Easily their most mainstream release, which in itself makes it kind of unique in their catalog. Curl the Burl easily stands out as my favourite song." Reply

"One of their better "later albums " Siouxsie & the Banshees had been making music for years when they released this last great album its right up there with "The Scream" & Juju. Other albums followed but this was their last classic album." Reply

"This album really sounds like an extension of "merriweather post pavilion", and that's the best compliment I think I can attribute to this EP. "what would I want? sky" is as good as any of the best stuff from MPP. "graze" borrows from its song structure starting atmospheric and mesmerizing until ..." [+] Reply
