"Very good Cat Stevens is like a teacher when he sings Father And Son from this song you can learn very much for life but the first song is also good where do the children play and the last track Tea For The Tillerman a classical music pieces. A must have in every collection. I say very favorable ..." Reply

"'Visions' is an incredibly creative and intriguing artpop/electronica album. Most of the tracks include catchy beats and abstract lyrics that define Claire Boucher's unique style. 'Oblivion' is a song I can listen to over and over and not get tired of. The only critique I have of the album is tha..." Reply

"I see this album as everything it needed to be for Kendrick; & by extension, the listener. After living with crushing pressure like he has in the eyes of the media & music industry for so long, it's really nice seeing an album release that doesn't care to be everything for others. After all, thos..." Reply

"One of the darkest albums ever made, yet sonically crafted and assembled the album talks of drugs violence hate sexuality sex genocide. It's all bought here in this fantastic piece. And definitely one of the best 90s albums. Mike patton's vocals along with key songwriting and killer riffs gives t..." Reply

"The more I listen, the more magnificent it becomes. 75/100 is unbelievably low for this record. The Pot, Vicarious, Right in Two, and Jambi are all instant classic Tool songs. But what makes this album great is the duo of Wings Part 1 and 2. I'm a firm believer that 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) is ..." Reply

"Awesome album from start to finish (almost--the wildly popular opener Miss You is actually weak commercial schlock relative to the rest of the album). It has great deep cuts like When the Whip Comes Down and Far Away Eyes, and finishes with possibly the best ever 1-2 closing punch in Beast of Bur..." Reply

"Incredible. Or i should say, EPIC. Two drummers, two bassists (one is Thundercat), a pianist, a keyboardist that often uses synths, a three horns section (trombone-trumpet-tenor saxopone), a singer, a 30-pieces orchestra and a choir of 20 voices or more. And yes, you understood right, this is a j..." Reply
