"One of Richard Hawley's best albums. Truelove's gutter, is an intimate record with moments of release making the music big and powerful. Some beautiful songs in, ashes on the fire, for your lover take some time, and, soldier on. Best of all though is, open up your door, quite majestic. A great re..."  [+]  Reply

"A step-down from the amazing W.C. Handy tribute of the year before. A solid collection of songs but only the final two captivate me, 'Black and Blue' with its darkness and 'Ain't Misbehavin' with its energy."  Reply

"Is not possible to do a single album from two big albums like Use Your Illusion I & II. It seems something like the Greatest Hits compilation of sevaeral years ago... Very commercial!"  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

"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

"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

"This is a top-tier Blink-182 album. It feels like the natural progression of the band after their self-titled, and sounds like a more mature take on the Blink-182 formula. The troubled sessions for this album contributes to a more immediate and frustrated sound, making it stand out even more in t..."  [+]  Reply

"Some of the greatest American musicians have been, primarily, bandleaders. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Bob Wills, James Brown, Zappa, George Clinton, this guy. He's playing with the tone colors that his musicians can put together, layering combinations, and keeping it shifting. In 1968, a lot of..."  [+]  Reply
