"A haunting debut album, just mostly Roberta & her piano singing songs she'd performed for the past 18 months at Mr Henry's in Washington DC. It does almost feel like a live album hence the title "First Take"the songs are long memorable affairs the standout being The First Time Ever I Saw Your Fac..." [+] Reply

"It truly puzzles me that this man, along with his music, aren't far more popular. I suppose this really just goes to show that the 'Greatest albums of all time' are only the 'Greatest albums of all time' due to the combination of: 1. The obvious towering appeal of their music. And 2. (More import..." [+] Reply
"To me, this is one of the greatest albums of the entire 1980s decade, regardless of music genre. It is a journey in sound/sonics with just enough of a story line to engage the listener. And the second portion is some of the finest ambient music, ever. Fantastic guest musicians, including Robert F..." [+] Reply
"I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I do admit when you look at the consider all things, this is an enjoyable one. His voice is so expressive and the melodies so soulfulness. If this isn't the blues, then I don't know what is. I can understand how this genre as influence other styles like jazz and rock..." [+] Reply
"This album seemed to come from nowhere and was pivotal to the whole early 90's alternative movement. It is one of my favorite albums and is solid all the way through. It is a mix of soft and catchy tunes with hooks and sideline diversions." Reply

"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

"In an out of nowhere splash Mckinley Dixon raps about home, urban life, contesting memories of childhood, lost friends and living communities. More specifically, the whole album is a Toni Morrison reference. The title invokes the 'Beloved trilogy' of Morrison historical fiction novels Jazz, Belov..." [+] 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

"It's Iron Maiden meets Guns 'n Roses meets Skid Row, Motley Crue and Metallica. This is A7X's breakthrough album, and with good reason. The juxtaposition of each track is such that the whole album fits together in a very deliberate way. Once heard, songs like 'Beast and the Harlot,' 'Trashed and ..." [+] Reply
"This album is an underrated gem, and I suppose was slightly out of place for the time it was released back in 1991. However, really this another classic album from Dire Straits that stands the test of time. Ticket To Heaven is the sleeper tack and timeless track on this album for me." Reply
