"Not quite as strong as my favourite Weather Report albums (Mysterious Traveller, Live in Tokyo, Tale Spinnin'), but not very far behind. Has the same breezy, summery vibe as Tale Spinnin', but isn't quite as successful in its execution, occasionally lapsing into moments that feel a little too for..." [+] Reply

"The album was recorded in a church. When you listen armed with the knowledge it seems patently obvious, especially the monumental Nothing but Heart; my favourite guitar track this century. The Great Distroyer is still my favourite Low album, it's on my chart. This one will be if I ever get to bei..." [+] Reply
"Lovely background music. I really don't know how much credit to give to these electronica DJs. I have a friend who is working on his Phd in music. He writes brilliant symphonies, is a master of piano, guitar and plays other instruments. Seems to me to require a lot more talent than sampling recor..." [+] Reply

"An essence of Punk runs through the veins of Life's A Riot, which may only be 15 minutes long, but manages to be one of the most well packaged and listenable EPs ever made. Simple at heart, but with excellent lyrics and the distinctive, echoey sound of Bragg's rough guitar, it's a perfect late ni..." [+] Reply

"Excellent live album. Better than any compilation as the tracks on here are all classic AC/DC. Don't like the cover image but the message is clear, 'if you want blood, you've got it'." Reply

"I struggle to warm to this one - it feels like they're trying to repeat Thick As A Brick, but don't quite make the mark. It has its flashes, but I don't return to this one as often. The last of their prog-heavy records before they momentarily became poppier, before exploring English folk influences." Reply

"Not Sade's best album and it does drag in places but she is a totally enchanting presence regardless. Definitely worth listening for its stand out tracks." Reply
"It's a toss up between this one and No Prayer for the dying for my least favourite Bruce Dickinson Maiden album I was so disappointed when I heard this after their three previous triumphant return of Bruce albums. I tried listening to it on numerous occasions as people kept saying how good it is ..." [+] Reply
"This is a really good album, almost sounds like a Beatles' tribute/pastiche at times especially on the wonderful Laura, a kind of John Lennon psychedelic ballad, and the drony, Scandinavian skies. The middle eight of surprises sounds just like George Harrison too. The first half of the album is p..." [+] Reply
