"Simply the Best album in my opinion several tracks were released from it, a steady listen from beginning to end not a bad track on it." Reply
"Although personally this is not my favorite album from them, this is definitely a great album. The band took a different direction in their next albums, but this shows a solid and consistent album through each one of the tracks. Mom In Love, Daddy In Space, Lampshade and Graceland, are my top tra..." [+] Reply

"It's taken a long time for me to form an opinion of this album. I've tried to really like it, and I should. But something has always felt slightly amiss and I couldn't work out what. The opening couple of tracks are great. It's when your three quarters through that you start to lose interest. The..." [+] Reply
"Following the seminal 'Stoneage Romeos' we all held our collective breath for their next album which would be 'Mars Needs Guitars '. And it’s good, better than good in fact . I place it at 3 in their catalogue behind 'Stoneage ' and 'Blow Your Cool ' On a side note is it possible 'Hayride To Hell..." [+] Reply

"Funky as hell. Gil is well known for his lyricism but for me his vocals on here are incredible too. Ranks alongside the stuff they were probably taking influence from like herbie and stevie. One of those that ticks all the boxes that you wonder why you never listened to the bugger before." Reply

"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

"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

"How could there be no comments for this underground classic?!? This record is something that if you are ready to dive in to it will take you to whole other worlds! It's a new genre that these dudes created in general, but especially here on their debut. Just listen to it and be ready to be impres..." [+] Reply

"The last two tracks are definitely worth, but this needs a few more listens. I didn't pay too much attention on the first half. Sunn O))) is insane." Reply
"Blisteringly abrasive and hostile, the album is like a blueprint for the punky grunge sound Nirvana would run with years later." Reply
