"This was the album in which Yo La Tengo began maturing into the band they are today. It was the first to feature the current lineup and the first of their string of albums I would all call "great" (to be clear, this string of great albums continues today, over 20 years later). YLT had some great ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is Zappa and the original Mothers' last album (recorded over the same period of Weasels Ripped My Flesh). This masterpiece is a long instrumental ride through the lands of fantasy that does not attempt a definitive system, but finds instead spontaneity and grace of true genius. The centerpie..."  [+]  Reply

"An extremely fine acoustic album, one of Martyn's finest with songs that stay with you. Smooth and lovely vocals and production, tinges of jazz at the end that would unfold more in layter albums."  Reply

"I absolutely adore the production on this album; the industrial noise has very limited variety in terms of tone but is incredibly hard hitting. There are tracks where it drags on a little too long, but for me the noise never overstays it's welcome. The rapping is a little underwhelming and the ly..."  [+]  Reply

"Queen's let it be. A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo. Of the 'new' songs, mother love, is the best, freddie's last vocal performance. A dark track. The other two, the funky you don't fool me, is good, but a winter's tale is ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think this is The Pretty Things best album, alongside "SF Sorrow". This is a concept album of sorts, it's the anti-Sgt. Pepper. It has a dark pessimistic mood that incapsulates the late sixties decadence of inner cities."  Reply
