"The key to the album success was You’re So Vain which topped the US singles chart and was # 3 in the UK. The subject of the song has been debated ad nausem but Carly has stated that it is about an amalgam of vain men she has known rather than a single person. The album is packed with other great ..."

"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

"Rock and roll fans who have yet to delve into the Drive By Truckers' entire catalog have no idea what they are missing. They rock incredibly hard, are alternately smart, funny and righteous, feature multiple talented songwriters, and put on a killer live show." Reply
"Just as good, maybe even superior to, Hot buttered soul, and you get twice as much this time round. Quite why, Black Moses, isn't more highly thought of is a bit of a mystery, it's a beautiful album." 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

"I don't know why there are two versions of this album. In the Mexican version, you have four studio songs: Sonoman, Planeador, Coral, Superstar. In those songs, you get a glimpse into Cerati's solo sound. Actually, the title of the album comes from Sonoman, an instrumental piece that ends samplin..." [+] Reply
"Great album. If you like DOOM's other works than you shouldn't be disappointed. 'Take Me To Your Leader' has many instrumental tracks on it with TV and movie samples pieced together to tell stories of King Geedorah, a 3 headed monster from space. These are mostly taken from old Godzilla movies, a..." [+] Reply
