"This the follow up to Every Picture isn't as good as its famous predecessor. But it is a good album sounds a little rushed though maybe because it was the 7th album Rod/The Faces had released in the last 3 years (1969-72). The stand out tracks are Jimi Hendrix tribute Angel & the brilliant You We..."  [+]  Reply

"Out of all the misfit artists in the "great credibility scare," Mary Chapin-Carpenter was by far the most successful. Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett had mild success in the country market after being signed in the mid-80s. But Chapin-Carpenter scored major success, especially with Co..."  [+]  Reply

"I first came upon Larry Young by way of Charlie Hunter, the virtuoso guitarist with a very organ-like sound; there was an interview in Guitar Player or somewhere, Hunter sounded like he worshiped at Young's feet. At one point, talking about quartal harmony or something, he said something like "If..."  [+]  Reply

"Sumo is an icon of argentine rock. This album contains a lot of classics, such as "Rubia Tarada", "Reggae de Paz y Amor" and my favourite, "Mejor No Hablar de Ciertas Cosas" (the influence of Joy Division is clear here and in "Divididos por la Felicidad")."  Reply

"For those not familiar with the history of jazz, Louis Armstrong was probably the most important figure in the early development of the genre. His innovative improvisations and superb technical skills on the trumpet and cornet basically set the standard for jazz in the 1920s and 1930s. My favorit..."  [+]  Reply

"Very good alternative rock/punk rock/post-hardcore/pop punk album. Best 10 songs average is 88,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Powerful punk rock slightly similar to Green Day. Best songs are "Devil in a midnight mass", "Red flag", "This suffering", "Fallen leaves" and "Surrender" a..."  [+]  Reply

"This album makes me shed tears, and then the tears form a giant dragon that destroys everything in it's path while we just all sit and enjoy the carefully controlled chaos. All Im saying is it's a beautiful album."  Reply
