"With some songs not on the studio albums, this is a fantastic compilation. It stands on it's own in greatness along side the other early albums. A fantastic early collection"  Reply

"The U.S. Version is a much stronger album. 1) Ballroom Blitz 2) Six Teens 3) No You Don't 4) A.C.D.C. 5) I Wanna Be Committed 6) Sweet F.A. 7) Fox On the Run 8) Set Me Free 9) Into the Night 10) Solid Gold Brass. Not one bad track. A great party album from my High School years- big in the States."  Reply

"'East' vs 'Circus Animals' ? which is Chisels best album ? It's an Australian pub debate with no clear winner , they are both great albums , personally I've always preferred the more accessible 'East' mainly because it was my first Chisels album and has always held a special place in my heart Int..."  [+]  Reply

""Morph the Cat" from 2006, is Donald Fagen's third solo album. Apart from the absence of Steely Dan's partner Walter Becker, the musicians are almost the same as on Steely Dan's latest album from 2003 "Everything Must Go". The sound is thus not surprisingly very similar to Steely Dan's, and as Fa..."  [+]  Reply

"An underrated artist and underrated album. Squeezing out sparks, is one of the great British LP's of the seventies. Parker and co. create a sound similar to what Elvis Costello would sound like a year or so down the line. SOS, features some fantastic songs, such as, discovering Japan, waiting for..."  [+]  Reply

"Another instance where the rockists on this website skew the ratings of an album that deserves better. This is a seriously well crafted Spanish R&B album. Nelly Furtado and Timbaland's chemistry is astounding."  Reply

"At first, I was disappointed. I thought the album was imitation psyche and too noodley. About 8 listens and I realized it pushes boundaries a bit and is filled with the same wry lyrics and bouncy melodies that characterize Pavement/Malkmus' best work."  Reply

"(Post Hardcore meets Noise rock meets noise pop at points. Some cool electronic bits, some messy hardcore excellence as well as bits of mathy virtuosity, this album is just a really LOUD, at times thrilling, always interesting mix of genres that mostly work really well.

"I think there needs to be a subgenre of indie folk called sylvan folk. It would encompass all those artists whose music evokes dense old growth forests, undulating earth covered in moss and wildflowers, and places populated by woodland sprites and ancient spirits. It's music that conjures up a ro..."  [+]  Reply
