"For all the success that Adam Ant eventually had it's sometimes forgotten that before that success, his band and himself, Adam and the antz, released a new wave/punk classic in, Dirk wears white sox. It's a dark and brooding masterpiece. Car trouble, is excellent, one of Ant's greatest songs. Els..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the great Progressive Albums of all time. This was the groups second release, and tremendously polished for 3 young Canadians coming off of a solid incognito debut. The Album tells the story of a Planet somewhere in the cosmos that self destructs ... and leaves behind the loneliest of crea..."  [+]  Reply

"A thoroughly, and at times willfully, strange effort from Devendra Banhart and a motley cast of artists from his loose collective of freak folk artists, Cripple Crow is probably Banhart's strongest effort (though I'd give honorable mentions to What Will We Be and Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon)..."  [+]  Reply

"For any fan of psychedelic electronica this record is a must listen. More sophisticated than their self titled debut, they expand and stretch the use of primitive oscillators influencing prog into the next decade and beyond."  Reply

"As an album, I actually don't like this at all. It's just too much of the same thing. Some individual songs are great though. Nice guitar tones and melodies. I remember Paul saying something like George auditioned with Raunchy to the Beatles and since he was the only one that could play it, he wa..."  [+]  Reply

"The peak of the Faces' career. "Cindy", "My Fault", "Late Side", "Glad and Sorry", and "Ooh La La" are all excellent songs and come basically one after another. Rod's vocals are fine as ever (on the ones where he bothered to show up), and the talented band show off their skills, albeit in a more ..."  [+]  Reply

"I was beginning to doubt he had another great album in him, but by golly, he's done it again. And I dare say this is an even finer album than his debut. Sweet Saviour and Long Time Waiting are the immediate highlights for me."  Reply
