"She should be singing Wagner but this insipid music makes me cringe to be German." Reply
"A great live album from a great band. Impressive not only for the material but the musicianship. Playing this stuff live and having it sound so good is an incredible feat." Reply

"To this date the last great Marillion - Album . All the following have major flaws . Either too much ``Pop-appeal`` ; too much Hogarth and not enough Rothery ." Reply

"Amazing album from an experienced female songwriter. Ciranda do Aborto is a highlight for me." Reply

"Jimmy Smith's most popular album and often considered his best, but too much of Stanley Turrentine's tenor and not nearly enough organ for my taste. I recommend "House Party" over this if you like straight-ahead jazz, and if you want to hear Smith stretching out on the organ, check out "Groovin' ..." [+] Reply
"'PAINLESS' is spare and brooding, with crunching electronic drums and fizzing alkali guitar and synths. I enjoyed myself overall, as I thought Yanya's writing had a harsh beauty to it, Wilma Archer's exec production was very consistent and I have a soft spot for the flourishes Bullion added to th..."

"This has to be up there for one of the freakiest album covers I’ve ever seen. However, the album cover kind of fits the album itself, at least, it fits the lyrics. Thee Oh Sees seventh album so far is a really good, heavy, guitar-driven album. It’s garage rock, but a little heavier than what you ..." [+] Reply

"The first half is much stronger than the second half. This album, unlike his debut, has much stronger Brit-Pop influences. I am surprised to hear the song "Grace" on this album as I have heard it many times before, but I didn't know it was from this album. I wonder if it would have been a hit if ..." [+] Reply
