"Diamond in the rough Going through 1984 releases, Songs From Suicide Bridge by David Kauffman and Eric Caboor is one record that truly stands out. Not only because the music itself is so much out of place and out of touch with the times, but also because the lyrics are so damn pessimistic, in the..." [+] Reply

"The music on this album is a real jam. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have proven to be rising experts in that classic indie/punk jam rock. Reminds me a lot of Sonic Youth. I have trouble getting into their vocal melodies and lyrics, which has held me back from really loving both this album and ..." [+] Reply

"Wow! As soon as the needle drops into the groove, psychedelia fills the room. Harpsichord, organ, vibes, Mellotronesque flute drenched in reverb, psychedelic guitar, it's all here. And this is just the first track! Production is excellent on the vinyl re-issue. Recommended for lovers of psychedelia." Reply
"An average record once you look past the terrible lead single that is eez-eh, which is annoyingly catchy in the worst way. The lyrics almost border on laughable, no hardcore Kasabian fan can look me in the eye and tell me that 'the wrong men have the power, it's turning my milk sour' and 'every d..." [+] Reply
"As shown in Elvis Costello's detailed notes to the album, it's genesis was unusual, with multiple complications . The songs were also written over several years, but all of this I will not go any further into, but concentrate on the actual final musical performance; In this case, the extended ver..." [+] Reply
"Not as good as In My Tribe but still a great album. I saw them live in Edinburgh Queens Hall on the tour promoting this and at the end Rob Buck threw his plectrum into the crowd and it hit me in the face and fell to the ground. I stayed standing still where I was until the lights came on and the ..." [+] Reply

"Hearing chairlift i think of a more synthetically processed matt & kim or maybe camera obscura. Chairlift are poppier, there's no doubt. I'd more expect them to cover hall & oates than the bird and bee. But that's digressing -- all of these synth-pop tunes lean towards the hook, some executing be..." [+] Reply

"Brilliant album. Saw Whitesnake live at the Cornwall Coliseum in a hot summer in the eighties. Still have visions of John Lord rocking his Hammond organ back and forth, Cozy Powell, a powerhouse behind the shimmering drum kit and David Coverdale,leather trousers clad, really engaging the audience..."
