"This will easily be one of my albums of the year if not THE album of the year. Really catchy tunes and some really clever lyrical work here. The production here is also of exceptional quality. Highlight - the baseline intro to Violence and this track in general. Fav tracks - Violence, Total Footb..." [+] Reply

""The Past is a Grotesque Animal" changed my perception of reality. Also it made me violently move my body parts in a rhythmic fashion. Also it's a fantastic song." Reply

"The first album is great, but this is their defining statement. The sound and feel is better, even on the buzz saw songs which is what the first album was almost all about. The writing here is stronger over two full sides, and this one even boasts some variety. 'Sheena' and 'Cretin' maintain the ..." [+] Reply

"I'm not generally an alto fan, but this album made me a believer. Adderley was the master of the alto and this is his finest work. The ensemble are tight and lay down jazz that is hot, cool and swinging. Two big thumbs up." Reply

"Visions is a contagion. An album I "should" have grown tired of after the hundredth listen. How an album with such rudimentary arpeggiated sounds and hard to discern vocals can devour my brain like the myth of the carnivorous earwhig is beyond me. Maybe I should just enjoy the album and not overt..." [+] Reply

"Excellent debut album. It's still The Pretenders greatest record with some fantastic songwriting on show. Chrissie Hynde was never more better than she was here on tracks such as, precious, kid, and, brass in pocket. There were many fine debut albums around the late seventies/early eighties, this..."

"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

"Songs for swingin' lovers, is quite possibly Frank Sinatra's most enjoyable album. It's a giddy hoot of a record with Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle combining to produce one of their best collobarations. There are fantastic versions of, you make me feel so young, you brought a new kind of lov..." [+] Reply

"Trip-hop most certainly trace its roots back to the early 70's. Serge Gainsbourg's "Histoire de Melody Nelson" is a daring and controversial concept album that I am extremely fond of. The soundscape, jam, and dynamics of the simple instrumental setup is sharply contrasted with the flamboyant symp..." [+] Reply
