"One of my favorite "Return To Forever" album. Not as critically acclaimed as Corea's early releases but the reincarnation of the group as it appears in this album with Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White being part of it, remains the best one in my opinion." Reply

"CRIMINALLY UNDER-RATED. This album is in my contestants for best or the year for sure, its just so much fun! The hooks are addicting, absolutely addicting. And its self deprecating vibe really gives this album an "i dont give a crap" attitude that makes me just melt inside. We need more Jeff Rose..." [+] Reply

"A very strong debut album. Hints at what Tull were to become but stand out. Their 3 earlier albums (Stand Up, This Was & Benefit) are blues rock and stand slightly apart from the rest of their musical corpus.

"When Coltrane signed for Impulse! in 1961, he already had the reputation of being one of the most ardent tenor saxophonists of jazz. But "Ballads" still does not announce Trane's most controversial albums. For those who love Coltrane, this record is indispensable because it reflects a facet of th..." [+] Reply

"My favourite of this year's set of 80s style throwback albums. The modern twist on 80s disco aesthetics is so intoxicating, especially on some of the longer cuts on the regular album and the extended versions on the deluxe edition. The vocals are mixed in pretty much perfectly to flow with the re..." [+] Reply
