"One of the best blues albums from the eighties. Mr. Cray's considerable talents are on full display throughout. Check out his solo on "Smoking Gun"." Reply
"This is thee classic Joan Armatrading album, the one that put her on the map. Full of great songs Love & Affection, Save Me, Somebody Who Loves You & Down To Zero being the stand out tracks but all the tracks are 80/100 or better, she would never improve on this collection." Reply

"Perhaps I listened to this album at the most appropriate time - because I was totally affected by the emotional lyrics and delivery of Ms. Williams, as well as the powerful electric and acoustic guitar accompaniment. "World Without Tears" (the complete album) was produced with bare bones instrume..." [+] Reply

"Really chill album. Nice drumming and flute. Reminiscent of Foxygen but with a more blues & early rock influence. Very different stylistically to 'I'm In Your Mind Fuzz' and 'Nonagon Infinity'. Track Picks: 'The Bitter Boogie', 'Sense' , 'Most of What I Like'" Reply

So you roofie them all (cuz you're gangsta like that). Then you drag them home and throw them into a blender (cuz you're Dahmer like that). T..." [+] Reply
