"I understand why someone who is into the earlier releases by Slipknot would find this soft or dull or commercial, but I have to say that I (who to be honest couldn't stand listening to their earlier albums) found this quite enjoyable. I don't consider it great, but there are some very catchy song..." [+] 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

"In a 1969 interview with Jimi Hendrix he was asked what it felt like to be the greatest guitarist in the world. Jimi replied with "I dunno, ask Rory Gallagher." This is Rory's greatest live and greatest overall album. The man believed in every note he played. Easily one of the most underrated gui..." [+] Reply

"Caifanes had been flirting with Mexican elements in their music ever since their debut, but it wasn't til 1992's 'El Silencio' that they decided to fully commit to the idea of making Rock Mexicano, and this is reflected on the album cover, which features a combination of pre- and post-Hispanic ar..."

"The lightning quick follow up to their self titled debut album, Kinda kinks, picks up where that record left off. The LP features ten originals and two poor cover versions(naggin' woman, and, dancing in the street). Of the self penned tracks best are the acoustic, nothin' in the world, and classi..." [+] Reply

"This album really sounds like an extension of "merriweather post pavilion", and that's the best compliment I think I can attribute to this EP. "what would I want? sky" is as good as any of the best stuff from MPP. "graze" borrows from its song structure starting atmospheric and mesmerizing until ..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic retro album that really captures that pre psychedelic sixties sound. The sounds of Dusty Springfield and Lulu are all over the record. As a deliberate attempt to make a sixties drenched album, it works brilliantly. Pity she couldn't follow it up." Reply

"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
