"Epic Viking Metal album. Very important for the genre. I hear dust of guitar sound that falls with violence from the Valhalla to the ground, surrounded by melody. Listen to it! It's like to read a Scandinavian epic/fantasy novel (a good one)" 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
"Almost blue, is Elvis Costello's country covers album. It certainly fun to listen to, but it doesn't sound very authentic. It sounds like what it is, a bunch of English guys playing American country songs. Best of the bunch is, good year for the roses, a top ten U.K. hit in 1981. Other standouts ..." [+] Reply
"This album has some really great moments. It kicks off with 5 really strong tracks in a row. Then we get some good sassy humor with songs like "Pink Sunglasses" and the really great "For the Birds." Those are my favorite kind of Miranda songs. It feels like there is some filler though, especially..." [+] Reply
"Great album, very honest in its delivery and probably their best album. It is raw and doesn't even try to be refined, even comparing to their debut funnily enough. There were some arrangements and harmonies there and they are almost completely absent here, but this is not a complaint, those diffe..." [+] Reply

"If he would just stick to Blues Rock this would have been an awesome. This album reminds me of Sandinista, way too many different styles. There are some really good songs but some really bad ones too." Reply

"A fun album just to grab and listen to. Best tracks: Magic Carpet Ride, Faster Than The Speed of Life, None Of Your Doing and 28. A must-have for Steppenwolf fans. Overall, better than their first." Reply
"Not a Pavement fan, so this appealed less to me than it did to others, but I still found this enjoyable." 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

"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
