"The Monkees' second album was rushed out in early 1967 in wake of the success of their TV series and their chart singles. The group had been frustrated by not being allowed to play on the first album, and they had expected that the second album would be different with the members playing a bigger..."  [+]  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

"Not quite the Kinks' most consistent album, but it has no shortage of outstanding cuts. There were minor hits in 'Destrooyer,' 'Around the Dial' and the title cut, but also look for great deep cuts in 'Add it Up,' 'Back to Front,' and the wonderful closer 'Better Things.'"  Reply

"Where are you, is another superb Frank Sinatra album. Like, in the wee small hours, it's a late night record of torch ballads and broken hearts. The beautiful title track kicks things off, and it's followed by, the night we called it a day, a stunning song. Frank is on top form here, from the mel..."  [+]  Reply

"This was Alice's biggest commercial success in years (and there are few more deserving. This isn't a bad hard rock release but I actually think Hey Stoopid which is simiilar in sound if you like hair metal is superior."  Reply

"The first in a series of which, fortunately, there appears to be no indication as yet that it's going to end. In retrospect though, this should have been just one volume, not three. Anyway, some great stuff here, and a little bit of rubbish too. The first two discs have some great stuff, the thir..."  [+]  Reply
