"Thoroughly enjoyable mid-eighties prog pop/rock album. Misplaced childhood, was a magnificent success for Marillion, and is still one of their best, if not their best album. Featuring the massive hit single, Kayleigh, it also includes, lavender, and the, heart of Lothian singles. It's still a gre..." [+] Reply

"The latest album from my favorite band is yet another high mark in a career full of them. How many artists can say their 15th album was this great? Not many. Favorite tracks: "Jubilee Street", "Higgs Boson Blues", "Push the Sky Away", "We No Who U R"" Reply

"Lana's strongest record. Although Born to Die and Lust For Life are solid albums, her distinct 'noir-Americana' persona that others have mentioned gets muddled by the heavyhanded poppy electronic rhythm sections on those two. This one (despite the heavy use of reverb) sounds far more organic than..." [+] Reply

"This album is noted for its melody-based improvisations. Rollins reinvented the melody in jazz around an overriding theme. The overall sound is as refined as the compositions are sophisticated. Rollins distinctive saxophone style seems to embody all of the classic traditions of jazz whilst simult..." [+] Reply

"I prefer this one to Core. It has more varied and creative songs imo. Not every song is perfect but this is some amazing alt rock/grunge. And it contains the biggest dark horse of the STP catalog, "Kitchenware and Candybars" Favorite tracks: Silvergun Superman, Kitchenware and Candybars, Intersta..." [+] Reply

"All time classic. Yes it's great. Obviously, it's James brown live. But it's not the best live album ever. In fact I'd rate it his 4th best live cd. So please please please (ahem) consider checking out his other classic live CDs like love peace power in Paris and the Dallas one. For me two of the..." [+] Reply

"I've been listening to this non-stop since it leaked 2 days ago and I think I made up my mind. Some are saying this is their best, but I honestly don't think it tops Sound of Silver; Sound of Silver was their peak and I don't think they'll make something better than that. However, I think it mana..." [+] Reply

"The Kinks 'Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround, Part One' is arguably part of rocks greatest album streak bettered only by the Fab 4 . Starting in 1967 with the sublime 'Something Else by The Kinks' , followed in 1968 by 'The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society ' which may well..." [+] Reply
