"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

"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."  Reply

"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. Theoretically, a twelve-song album featuring five (bizarrely disparate) covers and three short ..."  [+]  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.
