"Simply put, this is the best heavy-metal album of the 90s, and for my money, of all time. It takes the furocity of Pantera, the groove/classic-rock influence of COC, and combines it with the underground metalcore of Eyehategod/Crowbar to create an epic, southern influenced heavy-metal album.

"The Uli Jon Roth era is timeless! Though the 80's era Scorpions albums sold better, the further we get away from that decade the more these 70's Scorps releases stand out. Taken by force followed by Virgin Killers are masterpeices! Roth is easily one of the mosy underated guitar virtuosos ever."  Reply

"Having been lucky enough to see Steve Hackett live several times, the highlight tracks on this album and in live shows are Every Day, Spectral Mornings and Clocks. Love the bass pedals!"  Reply

"After a seventeen-year hiatus between albums, Mazzy Star came back and made an album that no one could reasonably have expected to be this good. It isn't exactly a major step forward artistically, but it's pretty amazing that they were able to pick up pretty much where they left off with Among My..."  [+]  Reply

"Although some parts of this feel too much like an over-dramatic rock opera, overall this was a breath of fresh air. Picked it up on recommendation from a friend and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. Since I've had to lend it out to a few people, even :)"  Reply

"Lovely and contemplative set. First release in the wake of tragic passing of Mary Hansen however theres no self pitying here. More a smooth cab sav then a bold Shiraz Margerine Eclipse is perhaps better than several of their more heralded albums."  Reply
