"A soulful album a little different & softer than his debut Curtis but just as solid. Underground & We Got to Have Peace are great songs along with Get Down which makes this a must for soul fans." Reply

"This album needs more love on this site. Sure, its less adventurous than some of their discography.. but for me this album doesn't tire and is incredibly consistent. Oh and might I add catchy as f*ck without sacrificing the head-banging solo factor." Reply
"This is an angry monster of politics,disease and oppression...Lydon has the best musicians and a great set of songs for this collection...I think "Home" is a battle cry and possibly the best song of the decade...a great statement!" Reply

"I've had this album on MP3 and recently purchased the remastered on vinyl. It sounded great on my stereo system and I enjoyed having the information in the cover. I figured Lindsey was the one behind the music but didn't know Stevie was writing lyrics back then. I understand Fleetwood was at the ..." [+] Reply
"I've been a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys and Turner's songwriting for a while now, and the other day I heard that they scored a movie called Submarine(Which is a brilliant film by the way). After watching it, I instantly downloaded the album and went on a walk in a snowy park with my ear buds. I..." [+] Reply
"The Triffids are one of those Aussie bands that receive recognition in sacred circles and not the mainstream populus. 'Unmade Love' is a great track that holds up today in an underrated album." Reply

"Definitely the best effort Plant has put out since Zeppelin. I love how seamlessly he blends many different genres together to create a relatively consistent and distinctive sound, even if a few moments come across as gimmicky. The lyricism is surprisingly good coming from Plant, and while this i..." [+] Reply
"Such an interesting sound, I appreciate it and what it tries to achieve, but I feel like there's no movement, the album isn't dynamic enough." Reply
"I wasn't too sure about "Deep deep feeling" at first. But serious listening in the dark changed my mind: a superb musical ride, the equivalent of a cubist painting to my ears. And totally on his own! The rest of the album? Very enjoyable, and likely to be a serious grower with time. We're lucky t..." [+] Reply
