"Ok. I’ll just blurt it out right from the start. Street cred be damned… Rush is one of greatest live experiences in rock history! Rush injected fun and wonderment into the often ponderous and pretentious prog rock genre. Like an adolescent with ADHD, they sounded excited by everything - mythology..." [+] Reply
"By the third album, most bands are either already re-treading familiar turf and slipping into comfortable self-parody or challenging their fanbase and losing half of them in the process. For Bloc Party circa Intimacy, it was very much the latter, but this is actually a thrilling listen in places...." [+] Reply
"So this is a really good funk record. I dont need vocals. Deserves a much better rating." Reply

"This is the first time I've heard of these guys and this is the first album I've heard from this "metal" band. Let me just say that I don't hate this album and there are some killer moments on here - the production is grand and bombastic and is easily the best thing about this album. As for metal..."

"I love this album. His last that he made after learning he had terminal cancer. The Boss helps out with a blistering solo on "Disorder In The House". Love "Dirty Life & Times", emotional version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door", "Disorder In The House" is great, "Numb as A Statue", "Party for Rest ..." [+] Reply
"Emitt Rhodes' second album from late 1970 is undoubtedly his strongest. The album was released on ABC Records, and Rhodes had recently had a nice hit with the single "Fresh said Daisy." His former record company AM Records took the renewed interest in Rhodes to re-release his first album "The Ame..." [+] Reply
"It's absolutely criminal that "The Lighting of the Beacons" was only included in the extended version of the soundtrack. Otherwise, this condensed version is wonderful. Howard Shore's score was absolutely essential to making the Lord of the Rings trilogy into the epic it became." Reply
