"Underrated, especially given there are some really well-known tracks on here. A great follow-up to the excellent Hour Of Bewilderbeast. My highlights are All Possibilities, Using Our Feet, The Further I Slide and Born Again."  Reply

"There aren't many artists that can keep such a high level of level of inspiration as Lucinda Williams. Now into her fourth decade as a recording artist, Williams says she finds inspiration and comfort in NOT getting comfortable. She describes this record as Car Wheels on a Gravel Road part 2, exc..."  [+]  Reply

"This album's a little more serious, or sullen if you may, than their first two. Take "don't change your plans" which finds Ben Folds in the autumn of love sitting on his suitcase with the end of the relationship in sight, closing the song "i love you, goodbye". i love the tragic beauty of "mess",..."  [+]  Reply

"Best EP ever. Polyethylene, Pearly, and Palo Alto are some of Radiohead's best songs. Thom's voice really shines in this album, and Johnny absolutely shreds. Shouldn't be a surprise that the greatest album of all time also has the greatest B-Sides."  Reply

"I owned and played this album quite a few times way way back in the early 70's. One of the first 'super groups' (although Kooper, Still & Bloomfield never took part collectively on any of the album songs). Stills was soon destined for more supergroup greatness with Crosby & Nash and eventually Yo..."  [+]  Reply

"This is one of the best albums Fishmans ever made, I'd put it just behind 98.12.28 Otokotachi No Wakare as my favourite album by them. The last couple of tracks especially do it for me and Subarashite Nice Choice is just such a beautiful a groovy song. One of my all time favourites."  Reply

"This is progressive metal even before Dream Theater, a truly brilliant and fundamental work for the development of many technical and experimental forms of metal."  Reply
