"As a fan of Noel and hater of Liam Gallagher, I have to say this album is not that bad. Some songs remind me of Oasis second era, but overall I'm quite surprised. However I still hope Noel to beat this with his next release."  Reply

"It's sad to see such a great artist pigeon holed. As a life long R.E.M. fan, seeing their stuff on MTV growing up, etc. This is better than Monster in my opinion. I feel it is the right level of pop, edge, and punk rock. I feel it is every bit their sound as any other album. This is why this band..."  [+]  Reply

"Hearing Say What You Will got me more excited for this album than I'd ever have anticipated. Its one of the best tracks of the year and probably the best thing he's recorded, so to get to the album and have it be exactly the same as each of his other albums was absurdly disappointing. A good albu..."  [+]  Reply

"Once, coiled soundly beneath the kaleidoscopic cornucopia of musical excess that was the 1960's, a tidal wave which reached sacred heights but synchronically cannibalized itself ten times over, there was a man. A man who, fit with somber body language and European sensibilities, wore dark sunglas..."  [+]  Reply

"What a gorgeous album! An excellent way to start of Hackett's solo career with a concept album based on tarot cards. The electric guitars sound awesome, but really this album is about the acoustic guitar, and the flutes. All the songs are great, but the best is "Shadow of the Hierophant" which is..."  [+]  Reply

"A decent album with an interesting choice of musical styling which is very relaxing and therapeutic to listen to. The diverse range of artists keeps the music fresh as well and the style is maintained as it is passed from one artist to the next which is really impressive. There are some really ca..."  [+]  Reply

"This album an a huge favorite of mine. There ain't a stinker on the whole thing. From the shout of "Freeze Frame!" to begin the album to the equally loud shout of "Piss on the wall! to close the album, it seem that there's a non-stop parade of blues, R&B, and rock. "Do You Remember When," "River ..."  [+]  Reply
