"Pick out an individual track apart from the singles and they don't rank too highly or in fact make a lot of sense, but listen to the whole thing, for me for the first time in 1984, and it was something totally different. An album I still love to listen to now.....although I don't feel so strongly..." [+] Reply
"One of Richard Hawley's best albums. Truelove's gutter, is an intimate record with moments of release making the music big and powerful. Some beautiful songs in, ashes on the fire, for your lover take some time, and, soldier on. Best of all though is, open up your door, quite majestic. A great re..." [+] Reply
"With this album the Dixie Chicks made a true masterpiece. This is by far their most consistent and most personal album they have released. Considering how strong their three previous albums are, this really says a lot. Rick Rubin's production is simply perfect for their music. For the first time ..." [+] Reply
"Reves: 9/10 Reves is easily the best instrumental album I have ever heard. Many of the tracks, such as 2 and 3, showcase just how incredible instrumentalists the band is. The drumming on 2 is powerful and crisp. The guitar playing on 3 is frantic, like a twisted version of the James Bond theme. T..." [+] Reply
"Doesn't hold up as well as Touch or Sweet Dreams, but "The Miracle of Love" and the terrific "Missionary Man" make it worthwhile." Reply
"Blazing-teutonic Speed Metal with some fillers in the middle. My favorite is their fastest and hardest song ever written: Fast as a Shark. As a drummer, those kicks in the double bass hit me hard every time I listen to it." Reply
"Beat is the "open minded" period of King Crimson ... and this is the beginning of the dream line-up. when progressive rock meets a kind of newwave, a bit of industrial rock, disco sensations, discipline, beat, and three of perfect pair, it's either love or hate by comparing what they had done dur..."

"The album that brought Aerosmith back into the big league. Permanent vacation, is a thoroughly enjoyable rock'n'roll record. Obviously designed to be successful, it saw the band employing professional songwriters, such as Desmond Child, to work alongside them to bring a more commercial edge to th..." [+] Reply

"As the title would suggest, this is a very spacey sounding album. They have a similar style to fellow Australian band Tame Impala but they are not on the same level as them. A solid effort though" Reply
