"Skynyrd are getting reflective and introspective. Their lyrics are turning inward, and their music is becoming more subtle. A quiet classic." Reply

"Finally found a Russian band I can relate to. I grew up on Soviet folk songs and the CRINGY Russian blues-rock that is Grigory Leps, and have always felt an apprehension towards any Russian music as a result. This art-folk, experimental, prog rock album broke down a lot of this for me. Great listen." Reply

"Mellencamp's greatest album. As always a couple unnecessary tracks (Danger List and Weakest Moments) keep it from masterpiece status, but this is still a gem." Reply

"An excellent follow-up to their smashing debut. A couple of the songs are a little sappy and dull, but Shooting Star, Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Deal With The Preacher and Feel Like Makin' Love are all top notch, as evidenced by the fact that they are in regular rotation on classic rock stations 40 ye..."

"I saw Earth live at the release of 2014's Primitive and Dealy. When they played a song from The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (the title track iirc), Dylan Carlson introduced it: "This is a song off our most popular album...though still not a hit. It was also our most popular with the ladie..." [+] Reply

"This is in my opinion the greatest album of all-time I know no one here will agree though" Reply
"It's little wonder that this album garnered so much attention - it's fecking great. For all its surf-rock tropes and bluesy-folksy borrowings, it's quite a one-off.
