"Hardest rocking Hip album, oozing the most attitude. Not as many classics as other early Hip work, but the album as a whole shows them really flexing their muscle. A vital Hip album." Reply

"Raye demonstrates a complete and total command of R&B, Soul, Blues, Rap, and EDM. What makes her stand apart from legions of other A-level performers is the way she blends these styles with a deeper understanding of what the music is saying, then combining it with her own original perspective, fu..."

"This is a really good album that you fall asleep but in a good way. You don't need to pay attention to it but if you do, it's rewarding in its own unique experience. Diverse yet cohesive. This album isn't very elaborate and developed as their later releases but it's not meant to be. Their masterp..." [+] Reply

"The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was a precursor and influencer of Country Rock bands like The Eagles, and their sound coalesed on this album. Formed in California a few years earlier as a jug band in the vein of The Grateful Dead, their music drifted further and further toward country and bluegrass as..." [+] Reply

"What an oddyssey. This album may have lots of filler, but it really is an unforgettable ride about monsters, epic fights and existencialist robots. Not quite as good as "Flying Microtonal Banana", but worth listening to just for the fun of it. Highlights: "Altered Beast I", "Lord of Lightning", "..." [+] Reply

"An underrated album by an underrated band. Their first two records are their most raw and also their most overtly political. These catchy songs never overstay their welcome and have things to say about war and imperialism that are, unfortunately, still relevant today. Best: Hustle Rose, Combat Ba..." [+] Reply
"This double album is a story of 2 (or maybe 3) parts. First, 12 tracks 1-8,20-22,24 are the ones you primarily want. And if I rated it on just those, it would be like 8.5/10. Then there's the Sha Na Na songs which are mostly adequate covers of classic songs. Then there's all the "background" trac..." [+] Reply
