"Erasmo's 1st masterpiece, a giant leap from what he's done before. Powerful lyrics and wonderful arrangements, with highlights to guitars, keyboards, backing vocals and percussion (used in a very creative way, with unusual folk instruments in rock/pop, as berimbau and cuíca).

"Amazing piano playing. Matchbox, Jambalaya, High School Confidential are key tracks. Has the talent of playing and singing of Little Richard, but not the same song writing skills."  Reply

"I've never been a massive Foo Fighters fan - their debut being underrated and excellent and the Colour and the Shape being their best work, a smattering of great singles since and a great creative spark of innovation with Wasting Light - I wouldn't really call them an "albums" band. I saw them li..."  [+]  Reply

"Quite a patchy affair, this is James Taylor having a bit of jam with his pals who just happen to be excellent session musicians. This is why he still created the wonderful Hymn, the oft covered Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight and possibly my favourite here, the hidden gem that is New Tune, it coul..."  [+]  Reply
