"I diagree with others that this album has lots of filler. This is far and away my favorite Maiden album, and the "filler" tracks, like Back in the Village, are some of my favorites on the record." Reply

"This album is totally exuberant; pitting together Baroque, Psych Folk and Chamber Pop to create something of complete beauty. It took me awhile to come around on it but now I'm obsessed with it." Reply

"Something else, is my favourite Kinks album. Everything that had been promised over the course of a brilliant run of singles, and almost achieved on preceding record, face to face, finally comes to fruition on a perfect LP.

"Percussively, I listen and just think: "why aren't more people doing this?" and "why hasn't anyone done something like this in this way before?" Yes, it's good. It's inventive, creative and just... very very percussive. There is a feel of all the sounds being created w/ kitchenware utensils and p..." [+] Reply

"Another album that gets low ratings on this site, and I suspect I know why. I remember when Lana Del Rey played "Video Games" on Saturday Night Live, a performance panned by critics and viewers who want female singers to dress titillatingly and give over-the-top live performances like those on Am..."

"What a delightful album! This year is already shaping up to be a great one for music. I'm loving the vocals on this record, they're so quaint and inviting. I usually hate long albums but this one feels just right, it's not bloated and it doesn't drag on for one minute." Reply

"The year is 1989 . What was I doing in 1989 ? I was taking copious drugs whilst listening to the likes of Pixies , Material & The Jesus and Mary Chain . I was NOT listening to Galaxy 500 On Fire . Fast forward 28 years & I'm reading another best of list & note this Album has a 97% all time review..." [+] Reply
