"Sam Cooke was the first black R&B artist to have creative control over his career. (Curtis Mayfield also did because he was a producer at the black owned Okeh record label) This was in the early Sixties long before Marvin Gaye's legendary battle with Barry Gordy to get "What's Going On?" released..."  [+]  Reply

"Often classified as an instrumental hip hop album, Deadringer feels to me like a fully realized artistic achievement compared, say, to something DJ Shadow might make. There's a surprising amount of emotional range here, and the fragments of samples that make up the album feel like they were alway..."  [+]  Reply

"Most of us can agree that this album is not bad by any means. I really agree with the guy that stated that the album's cover art suggested a shameless "we don't give a shit what you think, we'll do what we want" attitude, which is something I always root for regarding all music. The singles sugge..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the strangest records I've heard in my lifetime. The Residents' second album acts as a collage of popular songs from the 60s, noise, commercials, and god knows what else in the form of one strange avant-garde piece of satire. This is not easy listening."  Reply

"A lovely album. Some fantastic songs here. The early part of the record is for the more bigger sounding tracks, such as, dealer and, big muff. Best song on the album is the utterly beautiful, a certain surprise, perfect for a summer's afternoon. Solid air, quite rightly gets all the plaudits, but..."  [+]  Reply
