"One of the most underrated and overlooked albums of the sixties. John Sebastian was one of the best songwriters of the era and there are some excellent songs here,(although a bit inconsistent as a whole), especially the absolutely brilliant, summer in the city, one of the great songs of the time."  Reply

"Missing the Symphonic Dances (about 9 of them) that really make this something more, but overall a classic. For me this is a bit more than just a lame musical. Leonard Bernstein! Also I wonder if I'm comparing this against other musicals and therefore giving it a higher score... also probably wou..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is maybe the single most under appreciated albums I can think of ever. Long Fin Kille was an incredible band that diddnt really get the publicity they deserved, they were a little bit too ahead of the Times Music wise, had they came around maybe 4-5 years later they probably would have..."  [+]  Reply

"I find this alum really bland and repetitive. I liked Don Cab 2, it seemed really innovative and dynamic, but this seems like lots of the same thing repeated with little variation for 5 or so minutes at a time. Also, the whole happy vibe doesnt really fit well with the genre, at least to me"  Reply

"I never thought Metric would be forward-propelling enough to remind me of artists like ladytron or pretty girls make graves, but this album continues their creativity ascension and mastery of their indie pop/rock sound. I enjoy the unforced choruses and especially the little electronic flourishes..."  [+]  Reply

"This album may be a little underrated, but I don't think it's one of Rush's best. Still, it's an important release because it shows a band stretching their prog rock wings. We have true epics for the first time in the Rush catalog ("By Tor and the Snow Dog" from FBN was like a mini epic) in the f..."  [+]  Reply
