"This album is rated a little low on here. I think when you look at LTJ this might be their best album because it has the best blend of punk, and ska. They went a little more punk after this album, and were more ska and scrappy before. Don't get me wrong, that's still a great sound, but Hello Rock..."  [+]  Reply

"I was first put onto Gilla Band a few years ago, but had never listened to a full album of theirs until now. ‘Most Normal’ was along the lines of what I expected, offering up a satiating blend of sardonic humour and post punk indie type tracks, interspersed with crushing noise and heavy distorted..."  [+]  Reply

"This early stuff deserves every bit as much recognition as At War With the Mystics or Embryonic. It's such a unique spin on the alternative rock of the time. Also, Everyone Wants to Live Forever is a top 15 Lips track."  Reply

"Not only best album of the year, but one of the best albums of the decade and of latin american music. Listening to this, the amazing music and emotional lyrics from poems by Pablo Neruda is breathtaking. You actually feel on top o Machu Picchu. Trascendental experience and really worth checking."  Reply

"I find it difficult to make an objective judgement on this album as Dear Science is one of my favourite albums and this album suffers in comparison as it is very similar. The songs are still very good but it feels like shaking hands with Bobby Kennedy whilst secrertly wishing it was JFK. There is..."  [+]  Reply

"I’m purely rating this on the songs chosen alone. For new fans this or any version of greatest hits of his will do. The hits are just as good as the album cuts and vice versa, that can’t be said for too many artists."  Reply

"The record that changed flamenco music forever. Although La leyenda del tiempo is an amazing album, it must be pointed out that it wasn't the work of one man but a team effort instead. Camarón's out-of-this-world howling voice, García Lorca's sensitive verses, Ricardo Pachón's tasteful and forwar..."  [+]  Reply
