"I like the beats and funky bass, and most of the production is pretty good if not exactly inspired or edgy. Very good and hard rapping, nice flow. The constant black persecution theme gets a bit old though, even blaming bad reviews on racism ("lynch a n-word on paper", eyes roll). If more of the ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the album where the comparisons to Zeppelin really started to come out. Little Queen is similar in many ways to Led Zeppelin III with a balance between early metal and acoustic-on-electric styles. Like LZ III, this album includes a galloping metal classic (Zep's Immigrant Song and Heart's..."  [+]  Reply

"For me this is by far her best album. Diminshing returns with each one she does to the point I havnt got the last. This is when she sounded least contrived and wasn't sounding like people expect eg. Joni mitchell. Music press will tell you each one she does is better that the last."  Reply

"Wow, you hear this and wish it wasn't his last ligit album. Freedom and Angel are some of his best songs, and the holistic qualities of this album rival that of Are You Experienced. Night Bird reminds me of the Alman Brother's... he was about paying respects..."  Reply

"With only six tracks this is more often than not regarded as just an EP but with no filler this makes for a wonderful mini LP featuring one of the best tracks in the Fall cannon in Leave The Capitol. Middle Mass is certainly worth a mention too."  Reply

"I finally understood the purpose of this song; it's a satire of the futility of the blues, of bands that only did that. Pink Floyd, to represent the absence of ideas, put the dog to sing in that style of music, and it works well too."  Reply

"(Excellent pop album. Varied with excellent hooks and melodies and the vocals are lowkey emotional. I don't have much of value to say about this. It is just a quality album start to finish.) So I heard this once and thought it was ... pretty good. I was left, however, with a sense that I had noth..."  [+]  Reply
