"This album is laughably ignored and underrated in my opinion. It's better on every level than "St. Elsewhere" except it has no big hit like that album did. But it ably covers so much musical and emotional ground. The sad and mournful "Who's Gonna Save my soul" to the sample heavy dance of "Charit..."  [+]  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

"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

"Okay, so it's not exactly "Who's Next" but it's a very solid album. Overall, the songs on here are actually better than on "Who Are You" but the boost that Keith Moon's powerful drumming would have given these songs is what is sorely missing and that's too bad because with Moon this might have be..."  [+]  Reply

"I saw laurie in concert twice but this album actually captures the concert better than the actually concert, because there was so much going on on stage that I was a little distracted from the music. I still listen to this album and I always find something new that I hadn't heard before. The trac..."  [+]  Reply
