"Don't let the condensed tracklisting fool you, this album picks up where I Am Not Afraid of You left off and is just as sprawling. With songs veering in almost every direction the band has ever explored, Popular Songs is coming from a band oozing with confidence in who they are as a band. Highlig..." [+] Reply

"Took me a lot of listens to really get into this. Yours Conditionally is one of my favourites, and I was a bit disappointed when I heard this one at first. I loved runner, but that was it.

"One of the most creative (but widely unknown) figures of the late 1960s was Tom Rapp, who in 1968 was the leading figure behind the masterpiece 'Balaklava' - a concept album inspired by the anti-militarist struggle of the same name. The running theme of the album is of apocalyptic death and desol..." [+] Reply
""The Dance of Solitude", one of Paulinho's greatest classics, if not his masterpiece. A handful of his most well known songs are here (my favorite is the haunting "Meu Mundo É Hoje", one of samba's best lyrics), besides a version of Cartola's "Acontece" and the ironic "Falso Moralista", by Nelson..."

"This album is one of the outstanding masterpieces of the late sixties and Eric Burdon one of the era's creative figures as well as one of its greatest vocalists. Blues, raga and jazz elements combine to create a work that is refined musically as it is dark politically and socially." Reply
