"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 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
"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 ..."

"(As of 2/24/16) A 71/100? Really? This album might not have the energy that Badmotorfinger or Louder Than Love had, and it might not have the hits like Superunknown, but my god, a 71? Very underrated. It's leagues better than Down on the Upside, and you would have never guessed that there was a 1..." [+] Reply

"I haven't heard a better critique of the human condition relative to society's current trajectory; especially, when articulated with such clarity. Don't miss this one, you guys." Reply

"This was significantly better than I expected. It's pop rap so I expect it to be thoroughly panned by this community which is fine. That's ok. Lil Nas X will keep doing his thing. It's fun, it's honest, it's relatable. There's some childish gambino vibes, there's some chance the rapper vibes, the..." [+] Reply
