"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
"These tracks are better listened to in isolation (not you personally, independent of each other I mean) as listening to the whole album in one go can become a little samey. Some cracking tracks on their follow up Welcome to the North too. perhaps a band that never quite became the big noise this ..." [+] Reply

"Death at their most technical. You wanted a shred fest, you got it." Reply
"The Stones pretty much fell off the cliff with this one. Sure, they would put out a few more bad albums in the coming decades, but this was when we still had hope for them." Reply

"Can't believe it's been 20 years since the first time I heared 'Let's Get Rocked'. The Brit lads were really, really big here! 'Adrenalize' is my favourite. I like it better than 'Hysteria' (and when 'Pyromania' was released I wasn't even 3!). Favourites? 'White Lightning', 'Stand Up', 'Personal ..." [+] Reply

"Written at ages 18 and 19, Conor Oberst gives us a big taste of what's to come in his future work. Fevers and Mirrors introduces listeners in Conor Oberst's seemingly miserable beginning to college. The album is highly symbolic (some would argue overly so) with many illusions to time. I'm disappo..." [+] Reply

"Opeth have finally made the leap into full-on prog rock. Gone are the growled vocals; in with the flutes! I personally liked Opeth's transitional period, where they were slowly adding prog elements into their otherwise death metal sound. Heritage lacks the kick that those heavier elements provide..."

"Her best record by far in my opinion, Adele takes a few risks that really pay off, especially with the more jazz influenced sounds. Her songwriting skills have really sharpened on here too, with an album that sounds a lot less formulaic than perhaps what I was expecting. Definitely an improvement..." [+] Reply

"No sophomore slump here for Hozier. Building upon the melancholy mood he brought to us in his debut "Take Me To Church" Hozier finds the proper balance between retro- Van Morrison aping Irish soul, and the 21st century. He's comfortable name-dropping James Brown and Curtis Mayfield in a nod to hi..." [+] Reply
