""December's Children" was a U.S. only album that only in a few cases collided with the European releases, and for this reason the record was / is particularly interesting for Stones collectors. The music is somewhat a mixed bag, consisting of EP tracks and singles. A few numbers were already a ye..." [+] Reply

"I can't praise this album enough: it's deeply rooted in old Led Zep, Black Sabbath and the likes but it really deserves its place as a work of art on its own.

"Classic folk album from Pentangle. Half live, half studio, it's an excellent document of one of the genres top groups. After, Basket of light, it's Pentangle's most essential album." Reply

"Everything Nas does gets unfairly compared to Illmatic. Everyone knows this. It shouldn't impair your enjoyment of what is a truly great album." Reply
"Just discovered these guys when FLOTUS came out. Seems they've been great forever, and How I Quit Smoking may be their best." Reply
"Great early eighties album by the Moody Blues where they are kind of, just hanging on to prog but also embracing the more 'radio friendly' soft rock approach. Despite the loss of Mike Pinder, oh master of the Mellotron, the keyboard corner still brings forth many layers of sound that blend seamle..." [+] 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
