"Big step up from At the Speed of Sound, in my opinion. There are certain tracks I could do without, such as Cuff Link, Name and Address, and the closer - to name a few. But I think there's a larger number of fantastic tracks than Speed of Sound, which was still an enjoyable album. Denny Laine's t..." [+] 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 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
"Consistently good throughout and an improvement, in my opinion, on English Settlement. In Loving Memory Of A Name is probably my favourite on this one with Funk Pop A Roll harking back to the first two albums." 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
"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

"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

"(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
