"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

"A very psychedelic record for sure, somebody got that right. That's the right way to frame it. This record got slaughtered by critics and fans alike and Stevie was never the same, that's a plain fact. He thought he had earned enough credit with his previous albums--it was a cliche to call him a "..." [+] Reply
"Metronomy are awesome and this is proof. It's like a retro-video game soundtrack mixed with modern synths and guitars." Reply
"I didn't expect Cudi to jump onto trap so eagerly, but it makes much sense - seeing long time fan Travis Scott surpassing him in success - and it complements his rapping style fine. I have to respectfully disagree with OstrichGoat below; I think besides extending the measures of the beats to 8 be..." [+] Reply

"One of my favorite Tom Petty albums. It's a bit of a departure in that there are some meandering blues tracks, but I tend to like meandering blues tracks so it works for me." Reply
"I'll never be a jazz aficionado...but I do appreciate the more melodic orchestral records by people like Basie. Enjoy the more dynamic numbers and the horns in his one. My fav tracks: Magic, Sweety Cakes, Corner Pocket, April in Paris. I have this as the Best Jazz/Big Band Album of 1957." Reply
"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
"So this is a really good funk record. I dont need vocals. Deserves a much better rating." 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
"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
