"For an album about lovelessness, Aromanticism is a strangely seductive one, occupying it's own space, uniquely at odds with the rest of the world. Romance is out, with many of the songs offering revealing yet affecting critiques on relationships. Make of it what you will, it's another world but i..."  [+]  Reply

"First album from the second quintet, but I can't argue with a previous comment that they are already at their peak...from which they never dropped in their three years together. While Coltrane was moving to the noisy free jazz of Ayler and Ornette etc, Miles and the quintet were keeping it much m..."  [+]  Reply

"The Monkees most solid effort by virtue of being more of Mike Nesmith and less of everyone else, though still too much Davy Jones. Mike sings Salesman, Door Into Summer, Love Is Only Sleeping, What Am I Doin' Hanging 'Round?, and Don't Call On Me. Mickey Dolenz does well on Words, Pleasant Valley..."  [+]  Reply

"It took me a long time to warm up to this one. Maybe it was the soft jazz of the opening track. Maybe it was the operatic vocals on the second track. Maybe it was the marimbas. But in general it felt a tad too precious. Like they were trying to create the most new-agey sounding album of the 70s, ..."  [+]  Reply

"Absolutely stunning in so many places, it is basically the same contrast they did in White Light from the Mouth on Infinity; grandiose loud walls of sound pitted against dreamy folk (albeit this time the loud bits are even louder, and there is now an overt country tinge to the folk bits) The one ..."  [+]  Reply
