"My favorite Tangerine Dream album. I had heard their work before but this was the first album I bought. I remember opening the shrink wrap, placing the album on my turntable, and playing it loud - no one was home and the weather was stormy and raining. It created an atmosphere I cannot forget.

"I can only imagine how agonising the wait for a new album would've been for Kraftwerk fans (then again, it's been 13 years since "tour de france soundtracks" to the present day), but Kraftwerk certainly met all expectations with this highly energetic album. Filled with both playful and sublime me..."  [+]  Reply

"A good album that rocks much the same as their other albums w/ Brian Johnson. Nothing really new here. If I was to pick a great classic rock album for this year it would be Blue Oyster Cult "The Symbol Remains". Check it out."  Reply

"As you would expect of a small youth psychedelic folk collective celebrating Christ, The Trees Community is pretty outside the bounds of traditional Christian hymn and praise music. One of the few albums I would describe as capable of transcendence, The Christ Tree works very well in summoning up..."  [+]  Reply

"The Lovin' Spoonful consistently churns out catchy tunes, blending influences of rock, pop and folk in a fairly cohesive way. The title track is the album's highlight, but there are a fair amount of other great tracks to speak of including 'My Gal', 'Fishin Blues' and 'Did You Ever Have to Make U..."  [+]  Reply

"As of me writing this (February 1, 2022), this is my favorite album released in 2022. All but three songs ("The Man You Love to Hate," "The Death of Magic Thinking," and "Trick Out the Truth") are great, and it's on its way to becoming a classic (to me, at least)."  Reply

"A fitting last album for the Man in Black. There's some powerful and emotional stuff on this one. If you're a fan of Johnny's later music, give this one a listen if you haven't already done so."  Reply

"Calexico is one of those bands, that nobody usually knows about (fully undeservedly). Their music is a fusion of mexican and american folk motives, sometimes with post-rock flavour, songs are imbued with deep melancholy, which erupts through the latin-american dancing rhytmes. Calexico belongs to..."  [+]  Reply

"He basically recorded a bunch of demos and handed them into Atlantic records as his new album. The reason being that the material was so personal for him he holed up at home for a while knocking these out. I'm fine with that as long as the song ideas are flushed out well -- but "raw cut" doesn't ..."  [+]  Reply
