"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

"Frankly, this album is far better than anybody could have reasonably expected it to be. If you think back to the singles he's put out in the interim since The Chronic 2001, both 'Kush' and 'I Need a Doctor' were overhammed and half-speed, precisely the sorts of out-of-touch songs you would expect..."  [+]  Reply

"One of my favorite new wave albums of the early 80s and all time. Blinded me with Science was issued on subsequent releases to this album so I do consider it part of Golden Age of Wireless"  Reply

"Red rose speedway, is one of Paul McCartney's most underrated records. It contains some great tracks, the best being the beautiful, my love, one of McCartney's greatest solo tracks(alright, it's technically Paul McCartney and wings, but you know what I mean), and, little lamb dragonfly, is one of..."  [+]  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

"I fail to see why this album is maligned by so many. This is the missing link between blues and hard rock....and Muddy's rendition of Let's Spend the Night Together is absolutely scorching."  Reply

"Not bad, but not nearly as good as their first. My favorite songs are Used to Bad News and A Man I'll Never Be. This album's song titles alternate between positive and negative. Not sure what was going on with the band on a personal level (though I know they had their legal troubles) but someone ..."  [+]  Reply

"Stormbringer is way better than you might expect. Rhythmically there is lots of funk and fewer complex rock elements, but there are many good songs. The instrumentation is solid and Coverdale is more confident. Hughes is a fine player and gives the band a fine base to rock on. This is the FINAL M..."  [+]  Reply
