"Second album from Prince and a step up from "For You". I Wanna Be Your Lover, Bambi, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, With You & I Feel For You are the stand out tracks. The other tracks are all 75/100. I still listen to this album and it always leaves a smile on my face." Reply

"Mary Margaret O'Hara is one of the greatest singer songwriters of all-time. Her masterpiece, Miss America (1988), took four years to materialize but it was worth the wait. O'Hara's quirky voice is an instrument in itself, a super-human fusion of avantgarde techniques (such as those pioneered by M..." [+] Reply
"Good setlist, well played but it lacks some emotion. It sound like a studio recording of their greatest hits to make a 'Best of'. Some nice suprises within the songs though and not many mistakes (except for the wrong chord in Fool Overture). Not a necessary release, but a nice addition to your co..." [+] Reply
"It was time for me to talk about Ra who is, in my opinion, the god of music, the greatest jazzman in history and the most original artist of all time. During his life on Earth, Saturnian Sun Ra has created pioneering sounds that have helped change not only the sound of jazz, but many other genres..." [+] Reply
"I only stumbled across this band in 2021 with A Fever Dream and I loved that. This album started and initially I hated it until it got to the middle set of songs and I warmed to them. Even the first 3 or 4 listens I was still feeling no love for the opening half - suddenly something clicked and I..." [+] Reply
"Loved the singles and their music videos! They put out some of my favorite singles of any artist so far this year so I just knew I'd love the album too. Well ok I was hoping I'd love the whole album and it didn't disappoint. Bane is a great opener and Chicago is a super cool and unexpected song. ..." [+] Reply

"Simple but great album. There's some weird greatness in John Maus. Cop Killer, The Crucifix, Keep Pushing On and Quantum Leap are the top songs for me." 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

"I recently became acquainted with the Neil Hannon project "The Duckworth Lewis Method" and was very impressed by the album. British music tradition in the vein of great songwriters like Ray Davies and Pete Townsend. I subsequently wanted to listen more closely to some of the recent The Divine Com..." [+] Reply
"So many songs connect in a way that's unexpected for an artist that though aware of I hadn't fallen head over heels for before. My grandpa is the greatest role model of man in my life. He used to live on the streets, trough construction work he managed to make a life for himself. He never learned..." [+] Reply
