"i have never heard of a more underrated album in my life. the production, the lyrics, the individual song concepts, the execution, the fun, everything on this album seems to work as best as possible but unfortunately the album is largely overlooked especially when it was released during an averag..."

"Soft and sweet neo soul for lazy Sunday mornings. Jorja Smith's debut isn't particularly captivating nor catchy, but that doesn't appear to be the point anyway. Rather, its reassuring tone and down-to-earth words make it feel friendly and comforting. It doesn't mind if you don't give it all your ..." [+] Reply

"Despite being comprised of songs that were left off of Porcupine Tree's 'Stupid Dream' and 'Lightbulb Sun', 'Recordings' is constructed just as well as either of the two, is more interesting, and has just as good a production value. Here the band well and truly establish their own unique brand of..." [+] Reply

"Magnificent album that demands several listens to get the full grasp of it's power and beauty. A Canadian project that formed in the late 80's headed by Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, Delerium had gone through several transitions over the years but 1997's "Karma" could very well be their greatest ach..."

"Perhaps even stranger than their first release... it's hard to decide. Another amazing album. I especially love Kevin Ayers song (As long as he lies perfectly still) and "Dedicated to you but you weren't listening". This music just kind of flies around all over the place and does so in a very int..." [+] Reply

"My latest discovery, found thanks to BEA. The most amazing blend of styles I ever heard. Heavy metal drumming, guitar work sometimes reminding of Muse or Tool or something else totally. Horns that are perfect in the swing big band mode. And the singing is the most unique element of this band ... ..." [+] Reply

"On my opinion, it is the band's best album. Liza demonstrates deep and strong vocals that are highly emotional, and Brendan Perry shows tonns of musical mastery in arrangements and melodies, even more than on the previous albums." Reply

"Criminally underrated; there is a constant upbeat roar throughout but not with monotony. Songs like 'Can't Stand Your Funk' are reminiscent of modern funk/fusion artists. One of Mahavishnu's more consistent albums, if not the most consistent of them all." Reply
"All of the sounds come together beautifully and nearly every song progresses into a great finish." Reply
"A good album album which mostly suffers from having been released in between and in a time of masterpieces. Not an essential Tull album, but definitely a good one for anyone wanting to go beyond their obvious masterpieces." Reply
