"Lou Reed is a brilliant storyteller. With his graphic depiction of what happens to the characters, you are immediately drawn in. You feel anger, sadness, disgust, helplessness and also dark humour as if you are living it. Lou is simply amazing. The music supports the tale, as it did in Songs for ..." [+] Reply
"Greg Dulli's last album with the Whigs before disbanding them to form The Twilight Singers. This sounds better with each listen, maybe could be ranked better with more listens. "Somethin' Hot' and "Uptown Again" are my favorites on this right now." Reply

"Very weak ELO-album, but I bought the CD in 86, the re-release in the 00s and in 2014 the LP second hand! I'm paranoid ? Heaven only knows!" Reply

"I love Japan. As someone who cut his musical teeth in the period from 1979-1984, Japan stood out for me as being exactly what I was looking for in a band: they were extremely talented musicians, they (mostly) ploughed their own furrow, and they looked gorgeous! They got a lot of criticism at the ..." [+] Reply
"They don't make 'em like this anymore kids, unfortunately... This is what one might call "an absolute bonafide classic" ..." Reply
"I really like the first 4 albums by OLP, and this one isn't an exception. It might be my least favorite of the 4, but it is still a very good record. "Naveed" is an awesome album and "Clumsy" is a good follow-up, but it might be a little bit too similar to its predecessor to really stand out. But..." [+] Reply
"Hands down, my favorite Roy Orbison album. If it's not his voice that gets you, it's the instrumentation. If it's not the instrumentation, it's the soul. If it ain't the soul, then it's the tear inducing masterpiece that is "Crying". 10/10." Reply

"Just as good if not better than 2012-2017. Fantasy, Penny, and With an Addict are the standouts but there isn't a single bad track on here." Reply

"This album used to confuse me. I didn't get it. I thought it was a compilation of early solo recordings of Simon whilst he was a member of Simon & Garfunkel. Then I finally stopped my nonsense and researched it. Turns out this was made when Simon was taking a bit of a hiatus from his burgeoning a..." [+] Reply
