"In a similar vein to This Nations Saving Grace, Bend Sinister is probably their most commercial album, it is high on melody and has an indie-pop feeling to it.

"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

"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

"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.

"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
"This is one of my favorite albums, I've listened to it countless times. that being said, I dont think Blues for Allah is the best song, i think its meant to be empty and desolate like a desert but its not incredibly fun to listen to and it's 12 minutes, also the flute in sage and spirit can bothe..."
