"I own three Eurythmics LP's, this one, Sweet Dreams and Touch, and of the three this is the best. OK it's not their more punchy synthpop, or their more mainstream stuff, but as an album it's more consistent.

"Ryan Adams has returned with an immaculately-produced, strategically-calculated rock album that hits all of the right notes and comes with all of the effectively-timed hooks. As a result, he has delivered his best album since Jacksonville City Nights. However, what the content editor giveth he al..."  [+]  Reply

"Six months after it's release this album has finally got me. A lot of listens has now fully revealed the record to me and it is a stunning album. The melodies have evolved over a period of time without even changing, which is incredible, and they've opened themselves up to me to present a brillia..."  [+]  Reply

"It's a shame that this is ranked so low knowing this is one of the best works of Trent Reznor of all time. Catches everything about his musicality in a very different perspective. I love this soundtrack."  Reply

"Berstein's exuberance is a perfect match for Gershwin's music. "Rhapsody" will take you away, from opening bluesy note and seduces you with all it's jazzy brilliance. It's a lively, flashy, and intensely enchanting piece of music. This rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue" is unsurpassed. "An American ..."  [+]  Reply

"Best album for relaxing up at the lake... No question. Put it on an old ghetto blaster, haul it down to the dock, and watch the bugs fly over the water and some canoeist paddle by.
