"Having listened to this album a number of times, I finally get it. Disturbing, angry, quizzical, otherworldly, fascinating, funny, and very very beautiful. And Robert's voice floating over it all, haunting, wavering and honest. It's every bit as good as "Rock Bottom" if not better."  Reply

"The first half of, eagle, was great, but overall, I think this is a more consistent record from start to finish. She seems to get better as she gets older, although those Laurel Canyon obsessions still shine brightly, albeit quite beautiful. A very good album."  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

"Joe just got better and better by the end, makes you wonder what could have been if he lived longer. My favourites are probably the acoustic Long Shadow and Silver and Gold."  Reply

"Sometimes an album comes out of nowhere and just steals your heart. You didn’t see it coming. You didn’t expect it. The crush starts off unassumingly enough. But then it grows. It creeps under you skin and forges with your muscles, with your tissues. Its just one of those albums that gets better ..."  [+]  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
