"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

"There are very few living artists who could pull this off, but Cave delivers a collection of his finest songs (and some lesser known ones too) in such a breathtaking way. This album is stunning. Those who are fans will know the backdrop to the album. But if you are unfamiliar with his work, just ..."  [+]  Reply

"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

"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

"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

""Starting Over" is a collection of above average country tunes. I particularly enjoy the heavier guitar aggressive tracks. "Devil Always Made Me Think Twice" is a highlight with its reflective message and bluesy guitars. The other Satan referencing song, "Watch You Burn", contains the most striki..."  [+]  Reply

"Another mellow laid back album from J.J.Cale. Troubadour, adds brass to his already relaxed grooves. Good songs in, cocaine, travellin' light, and, hey baby. Cool stuff."  Reply
