"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

"The Chili's never rocked harder than this, and sounded so much fun while doing it. The chemistry between the band is amazing, and the sound is infectious (you can't help but bounce off the walls to these songs). While most bands were making cheese-metal in 1987, these guys were rocking harder and..." [+] 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

"It’s been a long time coming but it sounds like Foals have finally come of age, whereas previous lps have been over-long with non-descript fillers cropping up with alarming regularity, this is the most focused they’ve sounded yet. UK indie 2019 has become a barren lonely place, so it’s nice to se..." [+] Reply

"A superb Little Feat album. A southern fried blues'n'country fest with Lowell George on top form throughout. I always think of, sailin' shoes, as part of a trilogy with, Dixie chicken, and, feats don't fail me now. There are some excellent tracks here. Cold,cold,cold, cat fever, and the best vers..."

"The fact that I had young daughters who listened to this incessantly and the fact that she is a Canuck breakthrough seriously colour my opinion of this. I for one cannot resist Nobody's Home. Do I find pleasure in this? Guilty!" Reply
