"This deserves to be MUCH higher. Mind blown. Aretha's version of Amazing Grace is beyond amazing and makes this among my top 5 all time favorite albums." Reply
"I'll have to remember to put this on my list once we can expand to 100. What a beautiful album from one of my favorite games of all-time." Reply

"I can understand the backlash directed toward this album: Within Temptation's fusion of 80s pop rock and 00s symphonic metal is now complete. Still, it's a collection of consistent songs with quite a few standout moments. It's a concept album, but the story - like most concept albums - is impenet..." [+] 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.

"While I agree with many on this site that you are best exploring an artist’s original releases rather than live or studio complications, I find Neil Young to be the exception.

"Dinosaur Jr. is one of those bands that, when they release an album, you know what you’re going to get. They’ve been together since 1984 and they’ve always remained true to themselves. They’ve been through hair metal, grunge, 90s alternative, those awkward, like, five years that emo was popular, ..." [+] Reply

"A thoroughly enjoyable Dusty Springfield album. Great songs, as you would expect, especially, you don't own me, anyone who had a heart, and, will you love tomorrow? Great pop songs sung by a fantastic singer. How can you go wrong?" Reply
