"No offence, but this was borderline unlistenable. Don't wanna say too much, it will simply seem like hating, there's no point really. I fail to see how or why someone would enjoy it, but good for you anyway." Reply
"This self-titled album, Indigo Girls' second full-length, is one of the most iconic of my college years, and the album that my high school sweetheart loved more than any other. In terms of production, it's a big step forward from their self-produced debut Strange Fire, and it includes some well-c..." [+] Reply

"Good album with great vocals, they are something that makes this record special among other 50s music in that style." Reply
"Social Distortion's great comeback after Dennis' death. Just wonderful" Reply
"The peak of the Faces' career. "Cindy", "My Fault", "Late Side", "Glad and Sorry", and "Ooh La La" are all excellent songs and come basically one after another.
