"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

"Laura Nyro should be more widely appreciated - she did not produce one but string of great albums in the late 60s Her vocal gymnastics sometimes go to far but that's what makes her always differnt and always interseting"  Reply

"So far in my first listen to Thin Lizzy's discography, this is short of Jailbreak, but not by much. Loved this record, I still don't get how they weren't one of the biggest rock bands in the world. "For Those Who Love to Live," "Suicide," "Wild One," "Spirit Slips Away" and the amazing "Freedom S..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is an absolutely phenomenal effort from a band that has become one of my absolute favorite bands around today. Few bands to me have the musical and lyrical ability that The Avett Brothers to. They can write a catchy song that you’ll be singing for days and you’ll never even realize tha..."  [+]  Reply

"Fantastic album! Some bands sophomore albums aren't as good as their first but man oh man is this one excellent. Shuttered Room is quite the album but Reach the Beach is easily one of the best and most underrated of the 80s."  Reply

"Really a great album. Terrific performances from all involved. I think what gets me about this album is that it is fun, beautiful, energetic and soulful at the same time. Can't say I can think of many albums that do it as well."  Reply

"Aimee’s first solo record is lesser known than her later work, but, in terms of quality and consistency, I think it’s her second best (behind I’m With Stupid). High quality pop across the board, with the best songs the lovely ballad, “4th of July,” and the rockers “I Could Hurt You Now” and “Say ..."  [+]  Reply
