"The debut album from Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 was released as "Herb Alpert Presents ... " on A & M Records (Cat#: SP-4116) in 1966, and introduced the world to the accomplished pianist and his vocal group, performing Latin pop for an audience seeking to become more worldly in the types of sou..."  [+]  Reply

"For some reason, this is one of the best Mars Volta albums in my opinion. Noctourniquet is the best song from this album. Other standout tracks are Aegis, Malkin Jewel, Empty Vessels, Zed and Two Naughts. If people would stop comparing every album Mars Volta have released to Deloused or Frances t..."  [+]  Reply

"A ballsy move, taking Mussorgsky's classic and doing a rock version. There is much disagreement over the validity of the changes in the programme, but it works well for the most part."  Reply

"I think this album is underrated. Sherinian brings an interesting dynamic to the band's sound, and Petrucci belts out some of his most tasteful solos ever. There are a few duds on this album, for sure - it tends to be a bit too "alternative" in spots, and gets a little -too- dynamic at times. Sti..."  [+]  Reply

"I didn't like that much Leonard Cohen's last album. I still listen to some of the songs but it didn't hit me that much, honestly. However, that was a long long time ago.

""Rolling Stones No. 2" spent 10 weeks at number 1 on the UK charts. The LP contains the proper version of "Somebody To Love" whereby "Now!" contains a studio run through. The proper version was not released in the States until ABKCO tacked it on to a compilation album with their release of the SA..."  [+]  Reply
