"After two great records, this is the point the wheels were coming off the wagon. Home Sweet Home is undeniable, Louder Than Hell is the second best track, but wasn't good enough to make Shout. Other than that, there is filler all over the place. This is Mötley Crüe's St Anger."  Reply

"Buddy really nailed it with this one and helped usher in yet another blues revival. His singing and playing are both so full of soul and expression and the production is crystal clear. Magnificent modern blues album!"  Reply

"O'Rourke is like an abstract painter that only focuses on surreal realism. The amount of talent on here can be dissected evenly between the exquisite lyrics & application to the musicality."  Reply

"I'm surprised this EP hadn't been added before. It's a nice collection of songs to play after the original In Rainbows. Favorite songs: "Down is the New Up", "Bangers + Mash", "4 Minute Warning". The last one is actually one of my all-time favorite Radiohead songs. It should've been included in t..."  [+]  Reply

"I've been listening to Megadeth for a long time and this might be my favorite album of their's since Youthanasia. Adler's drumming is superb and Kiko plays some very technical but tasteful guitar leads. Mustaine still writes great riffs and occasionally an extremely well crafted song (see The Thr..."  [+]  Reply

"Blakey and Monk go together perfectly. The melodic playing of Blakey, the percussive playing of Monk, the soulful funkiness of Johnny Griffin, they're all working on the same bebop wavelength--high energy music, but with so much space and silence left in. The interplay between the musicians here ..."  [+]  Reply

"THE BIG FOUR PLUS ONE I don’t care what anyone else says. The Screaming Trees were one of “The Big Four” of grunge. Call it the Big Five if you have to. Knock out those pussies in Pearl jam if you have to. I really don’t care. But they belong. They were there from the start. Cranked out SEVEN con..."  [+]  Reply
