"Absolutely insane album. The lyrics are dark, cryptic, and over the top in the best way possible. The vocal performances are powerful and the songs display a heavy ferocity. The production blends all of the sounds together in a way that makes the listener feel as though they are trapped in a stor..." [+] Reply
"Well, it's something for me anyway. Not his most well known songs, but still extremely good." Reply
"It feels oddly oxymoronic to call "The Symbol Remains" a "return to form" for a band that hadn't released an album anyway in nearly 20 years, but that's exactly what this is for Blue Oyster Cult: a modern take on their classic rock roots without the bloat of the mid-to-late 80s releases, and with..."

"Despite containing the instant Fall classic Bill Is Dead, this album took quite a while to stand out for me. Sing Harpy kicks things off in a promising fashion, soon after we have the aforementioned Bill Is Dead with MES actually singing! This track is one of their best tracks of the 90's and was..."

"Introduced the new era of soundtracks. Whether you like his movies or not, Quentin Tarantino is just brilliant with his use of music in movies." Reply

"This live album has actually stood the test of time it is not that bad as far as live albums go. Captured live in the U.S.A. there are some different takes on some well known songs Suffragette City and the Jean Genie stand out along with a live version of Knock On Wood." Reply

"Gal's legendary 1st live record, a double LP. The amateurish recording gives it an intimate feel _ in the acoustic numbers that open it, seems that she's singing in our living room. The songs with the whole band show us Gal at her most emotional and less technical. An important document of a hars..." [+] Reply
"Well, thankfully it's not a return to the follys of Carnival Of Light or Tarantula. They're still the same band that made those records, but more importantly they're still the same band that made Nowhere or Going Blank Again. To be specific, this is the direction Ride should have taken in 1993, w..." [+] Reply

"Yep, I don't see anything this year beating this album. Beforehand it was Pallbearer's Heartless as my AOTY. This beats that by a margin, the nostalgia is real. I'm finally listening to fantastic stoner rock again, thank you Elder!" Reply
