"I was pleased with this. It didn't immediately blow my mind, but as I listened and got I into it I really dug the atmosphere. And yeah Hole in the Ocean Floor is great." Reply

"This album is worth a listen. Moody, melacholic and beautiful. Hide and Seek could be on the best produced songs of all time." Reply

"The debut album by The Replacements is a rip roaring punk rock record that fizzes by in a flash. Sorry Ma, is a superb record full of energy and hunger. Some tracks, or at least moments sound uncannily like The Clash or the Sex Pistols, but at the end of the day it's still the Replacements. Thril..." [+] Reply

"As far as EPs go, this one's a winner. If you're a fan of Fleet Foxes, this is essential, and even if you're just a casual enjoyer of their music it's worth a listen, especially (but certainly not only) because of the standout track Mykonos. This EP offers most of what we've come to expect from t..." [+] Reply

"One of the greatest, and certainly the most underrated, prog albums of all time.

"Savatage found their 'sound' on this classic album. The album from start to finish is filled with screaming vocals, loud guitars, great production and melodies." Reply
"Overstuffed, and there are some real bumps in the road in the tracklisting - ME!, You Need to Calm Down (lyrically), The Man - but this is a super enjoyable pop album. It feels assured and confident, and features some of Swift's best songwriting yet. The production is generally really lush and co..." [+] Reply

"For me, it's a shame that these two pieces (Different Trains and Electric Counterpoint) were released together and for the purposes of album rating must be reviewed as one. Different Trains is, for me, a masterpiece in threading together the melody from voice technique with field recordings of tr..." [+] Reply
