"In my opinion, this - along with Vai's two albums with David Lee Roth's supergroup - the Van Halen-ish "Eat 'em and Smile" and the very Vai "Skyscraper"- are his best in the popular idiom. Vai's latest release, "The Story of Light," is also very good. "Flexable" is a must-own for "Eat 'em and Smi..."  [+]  Reply

"If you don't like metal this album isn't for you. If you do, it's essential. Personally this is my favorite Slayer album, and one of my favorite thrash albums. So many great riffs, and the drumming is amazing. Production quality is a little low, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it adds to ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a fantastic record, and I don't really understand how it's the lowest-ranked of ELO's original-run studio albums. It puts on display an ELO at their most uncompromising; the orchestral elements are used less as enhancements for pop songs and more to imbue an explicit classical music influ..."  [+]  Reply

"Not as good as her debut but a good album nonetheless. The best tracks are the first 2 and the last 2. Be Careful Of My Heart & Subcity are the next best. The only track I would skip is Material World the rest of the album is good."  Reply

"Yeah...no. I will admit that there are a few tracks I do like off this album. The intro for Jack Gell was a nice interlude intro. Also love the hell out of Susan Axelrod. Probably the best track that plays to the strengths of the qualities this album has. Also thought Murray De Pillars was also g..."  [+]  Reply

"Hardest rocking Hip album, oozing the most attitude. Not as many classics as other early Hip work, but the album as a whole shows them really flexing their muscle. A vital Hip album."  Reply

"Not quite as brilliant as, pieces of the sky, but, elite hotel, is still another lovely Emmylou Harris record. As always with Harris, there are some great songs including, together again, sweet dreams, and another beautiful Lennon-McCartney cover in, here,there and everywhere. Great stuff."  Reply
