"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

"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
"One of my favorite albums by Mr.Thompson, it includes my favorite song by him, "1952 Vincent Black Lightning". This song is an acoustic masterpiece!" 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

"The best album of Heroes del Silencio. Best produced would be Senderos de Traicion, but EEDV is a heavier album plenty of extraordinary songs, almost any of them. El Camino del Exceso is its best song but nuestros hombres, flor de loto, bendecida, los placeres de la pobrez, la herida,...all are a..." [+] Reply
"It seems kooky to include a greatest hits in your top records. But this is the 1st record I recall hearing. I was 3. I put my ear right close the speakers. I remember the woofers pounding. The depth of sound was overwhelming. It opened me up to a life long love of music." Reply
"On this website, Counting Crows album's get ranked progressively worse in chronological order and it completely makes sense. Each album sounds like the last in it's instruments and vocal delivery.

"Damn, this is quite the religious album. Jay Electronica and Jay-Z rapping a lot about being Black Israelites. The production is amazing beginning to end, but the lyrics aren't always the most engaging. Highlight for me is Shiny Suit Theory." Reply

"Probably does not sustain the energy of Wrecking Ball (let alone his legendary much earlier work) but.... still has its moments. The re-version of Tom Joad is worth the time. So is some of the rest of this." Reply
