"People hate this band because they listen to the rock & roll press. The press hated them...and they killed them. Get The Knack is a very good album. Too bad we were all told it wasn't by writers who didn't like the fact that they were inaccessible to them. This is that next great Cheap Trick albu..."  [+]  Reply

"The companion album to, want one, is a darker and more moody record. Kicking off with, Agnus Dei, an atmospheric track based on a Turkish prayer or something. The one you love, is probably the most conventional number here, while, peach trees, has that kind of sweet brooding that Wainwright does ..."  [+]  Reply

"I agree with Freddie55. My rating is based on the superior original studio recording. Ian Gillan, possibly my favorite singer, is as good as he ever was, and Murray Head is just as amazing. Add to them a top-notch rock band and some truly inspired (no pun intended) music, and you have a great, un..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a great IDM album. No live drumming or guitar this time around, instead we have a more classic electronic aesthetic with occasional classical strings. The opening 3 tracks and bias are some of his best work. It's tough but right now I'd say this is better than Elaenia. The only track fail..."  [+]  Reply

"love this album, Best song: "Excellent Birds' which was also on Peter Gabriel's album "So". They played on each others version, but her best song IMO is "Ramon" from "Strange Angels", one of the best tracks of all time."  Reply

"This may seem unfairly reductive, but Laura Marling is at her best when she conjures peak-era Joni Mitchell. She does that here with just a touch of punk attitude. Interestingly, it looks like this will be her lowest-rated album very soon. It's my favorite."  Reply

"I wasn't too sure about "Deep deep feeling" at first. But serious listening in the dark changed my mind: a superb musical ride, the equivalent of a cubist painting to my ears. And totally on his own! The rest of the album? Very enjoyable, and likely to be a serious grower with time. We're lucky t..."  [+]  Reply

"Without purpose, this has become one of my favorite bowie albums. Bowie albums take up about 20 spaces in the top 5000. This is at the bottom for bowie by bea, I really wonder about the credibility of this site when so many of his albums are rated higher than this."  Reply
