"Good setlist, well played but it lacks some emotion. It sound like a studio recording of their greatest hits to make a 'Best of'. Some nice suprises within the songs though and not many mistakes (except for the wrong chord in Fool Overture). Not a necessary release, but a nice addition to your co..."  [+]  Reply

"Gordon Lightfoot writes poetry. Then he wraps it up in beautiful folk melodies that soothe your soul or stir your emotion. Pure genius, and should be noticed more."  Reply

"This album probably has more sentimental value to me than anything, but I think, objectively, it deserves more praise than it gets. Post hardcore and pop punk probably isn't for everyone, but I can't think of another album that has blended the 2 for fluidly than this one. It's also mixed beautifu..."  [+]  Reply

"Being a moderate Elliott Smith I finally got around to listening to this album , essentially where it all began before the solo career took off I really enjoyed the tracks with the trademark ES DNA in "Half Right" , "Get Lucky" , "Plainclothes Man" , "The Fix Is In" , "You Gotta Move" and especia..."  [+]  Reply

""Nicely Out of Tune" was Lindisfarne's 1970 debut-album. Lindisfarne's music is catchy folk-inspired music; maybe it could be described as a British version of Lovin' Spoonful's good-time music. Lovin' Spoonful had John Sebastian and Lindisfarne had Alan Hull; both great singers and songwriters. ..."  [+]  Reply

"I absolutely adore the production on this album; the industrial noise has very limited variety in terms of tone but is incredibly hard hitting. There are tracks where it drags on a little too long, but for me the noise never overstays it's welcome. The rapping is a little underwhelming and the ly..."  [+]  Reply
