"I wasn't a big fan of Thrice until I heard this album. When I did, I thought, there is hope for American rock in the 2000s. Also notable releases by the band are Major/Minor and The Alchemy index, which almost made this list instead because of its concept: The 4 classical elements of Fire/Water a..."  [+]  Reply

"Vivian Stanshall's Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band were one of the most comical UK bands of the late 1960s and this was undoubtedly their best LP release. Its satirical side undoubtedly served, to some, as a welcome release for those tiring of the inundation of so much psychedelia and other less meritable..."  [+]  Reply

"So much good music here. "Miles Davis" and "The End" are favorites. It's ridiculously long, but I can't decide whether that adds to or detracts from its greatness. It's tough to get through the whole thing in one sitting, but taken in pieces, it's all fantastic."  Reply
