"Cheap Trick had hunger, power and songs...their first 3 albums are hard to beat. "He's A Whore", "Hot Love", "Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School"...a very good debut album." Reply

"This album is pure fun. It's sounds really early punk-like to my ears the way these girls shout their suggestive lyrics." Reply

"Yeah, this album is awesome. I was about to buy it, but it is about $20. That's a lot of money for a disk. That's how much people like this album. it's just that good. it is still a high price(for a CD) after being released about 20 years ago. I actually ended up buying it today. It's a great album."

"A stellar, glimmering portrait of a band at the height of its powers. Tweedy and Wilco captivate and command the attention of the Chicago audience in a way that I have failed to witness on just about any other live recording. Superb." Reply

"It feels weird to call Van Halen's "Diver Down" (1982) a great album - it's slight, and a hodgepodge (like The Rolling Stones' "Flowers;") however, what it lacks in weight, it makes up for in pure fun.

"Now this guy could play the guitar. He was one of the founding fathers of jazz guitar along with Eddie Lang. He is truly amazing, highly recommended!" Reply
"It's the best they've sounded since Riot Act. Last Pearl Jam album I bought was self titled and I was so underwhelmed by it that I didn't get anything after it until now. Dance Of The Clairvoyants is such a killer first single IMO and people are either loving it or hating it. I love how different..." [+] Reply

"The New Pornographers have largely recaptured the magic of their first 3 albums, pumping multiple hooks into the majority of these abnormal pop/rock tracks. The poppiest tracks still mostly emanate from AC, the loveliest from Neko and the strangest from Bejar (harmonica solo!), but the tracks are..." [+] Reply
