"Solid album all the way through; lots of blues-rock goodness with Morrison's iconic vocals and lyrics. Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun, and Peace Frog are the highlights, but I also quite like You Make Me Real. Everything else is enjoyable." Reply

"A very intelligent album from a musicianship perspective, my personal favourite is different strings, also love spirit of radio and natural science. You can hear the Mini Moog used to great effect all over this album." Reply

Of all their albums post-Alligator, Sleep Well Beast is definitely the mos..." [+] Reply

"This album is an absolute masterpiece, and has a sound like no other album ever released, even by Neil himself. You can truly feel raw emotion here, and this is definitely Neil's most emotional album. After the loss of Daniel Whitten, Neil recorded this album on one dark night in 1972 in only one..." [+] Reply

"These guys are punk. These guys are pop. The vocals are great and the instrumental is tight! Some remind Joe Strummer, others don't. A good rock'n'roll record in this era where it seems more and more outdated." Reply

"This album is like a really good pancake. Crispy on both ends, soggy and weak in the middle. Unfortunately, pancake logic does not apply to music albums. Still a super consistent and enjoyable record though. Super high highs. Really passionate. Best song: Not To Touch The Earth." Reply
