"This isn’t a terrible album, but it’s not terribly good either It all just feels and sounds so incredibly safe with sparking clean production you could eat your lunch off. Where are the unfiltered guitars? Where are the sicko lyrics about murder , incest and mayhem? Slicing up eye balls? More lik..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a really excellent album from the very accomplished American metal shredder. Back in its heyday it was classed as metal, in this day and age probably hard rock. I thought Cat Scratch fever was the best album until I picked up a mint vinyl copy of this in a local second hand joint a few ho..."  [+]  Reply

"While Summertime is timeless, I didn't really fall in love with it. I think with most things like this (Opera/Musical) you have to experience it live, not just listening to a recording. If you've fallen in love with it live, you'll love the recording. The score I'm giving is strictly on the recor..."  [+]  Reply

"Solid metal. But, The mixing of this album sounds archaic, thus giving a slightly messy result, plus the guitars are put to the background, they do not really rule. Guitar solos do not convince me."  Reply

"This is a really fascinating album! Though I didn't care much for Chances Coloring Book, this one is somewhat less pop-oriented, but more importantly its a lot more free-form and experimental. Songs are strucutred in very unique ways for hip-hop albums, and there are even entirely non hip-hop par..."  [+]  Reply

"Huh... There's some fantastic tracks on here. Amazing album... no, but why so much hate? I'd listen to this 10 times over and over again before I had to listen to an Animal poser hipster Collective album. They started to sell out... hahaha... it's pop music. They sold out the moment they wrote so..."  [+]  Reply
