"If you're going to dismiss the entire genre of oasis-influenced soft rock as trite and appealing only to teen girls, then you're going to probably agree with the low rating of this album. That's not something I can entirely fault you for as there's a lot of crap from this genre and time period th..." [+] Reply

"This is the sound of the band pleasing themselves with very little concern of pleasing a potential audience - Color Me and Impressed and Within Your Reach - proved Paul cared, just a little. Arguments have been made as to whether this aspect is either a virtue or failing of the record. I consider..." [+] Reply
"This is not really anywhere near Burial's best work, but I respect an artist's attempts to change and progress their sound and challenge their listeners. I'm not all too crazy about some of the percussion on here, in particular the very tacky off-kilter drums on Hiders. I hope if he/she ever drop..." [+] Reply
"Great lyrical content and production value. How can you go wrong with P.E? I am not one of those guys who say that Old School Rap is better than what is out now. But no current rapper can hold a candle to these guys. This album was made in the late 80s and still hold up strongly. I highly recomme..." [+] 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
"Brilliant companion album to, swinging lovers. Frank is on top form throughout, especially on, I wish I were in love again, I got it bad, and, stars fell on Alabama. Great record." 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

"Over a decade after The Nightfly, Fagen's second solo work somehow surpasses its predecessor. For years I thought that the first three songs were somewhat indistinguishable and that things didn't really kick into gear until "Snowbound" but now I've finally grasped the individual personalities of ..."

"This album an a huge favorite of mine. There ain't a stinker on the whole thing. From the shout of "Freeze Frame!" to begin the album to the equally loud shout of "Piss on the wall! to close the album, it seem that there's a non-stop parade of blues, R&B, and rock. "Do You Remember When," "River ..." [+] Reply
