"Really good debut from music collective/“spud” murphy come-uppers/Corbynite rockers/Black Country New Road-but-folky Caroline. I’ve long thought just doing Dirty Three but with vocals would spell over great, but this is that and quite a bit more too; a promising new act."  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

"This is an awesome thrash album. The original mix is dirty but actually adds to the songs. Any thrash or Megadeth fan will enjoy this album. It gets my recommendation for Looking Down The Cross alone."  Reply

"I don't know if I can call "Formed a Band" the greatest song ever produced, but it's definitely the second greatest Really has there ever been an album that felt so infinitely ecstatic simply to be itself?"  Reply

"Perhaps even stranger than their first release... it's hard to decide. Another amazing album. I especially love Kevin Ayers song (As long as he lies perfectly still) and "Dedicated to you but you weren't listening".
