"Minnie Riperton is, sadly, a largely forgotten ´musical angel´. A very good album by the late starlet whose life and career was so tragically curtailed by fatal illness. Lovin´ You is one of the most beautiful Soul ballads ever recorded," Reply
"Probably my favorite spanish language album. I heard they were the "spanish radiohead" at the time and that title is somewhat justified in how they explore outside of typical (spanish) rock boundaries." Reply

"A few relistens helped me understood how to appreciate this album. It definitely is an album of texture. I love it for how it sounds and the subtleties in its texture." Reply

"Billy Nicholls' response to The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, and while this isn't quite as good a record as Pet Sounds, it still is a very diverse and lovely album. Any fan of the Beach Boys should check this one out!" Reply

"Can you see the needle drop on lp on LOST? Shotgun WIllie sits around in his underwear! Classic opening line." Reply
"This album is about 50/50. The good cuts are really good, the others laughably awful. I think Mr. Moraz needed a producer that knew how to say the word NO on this record." Reply
"I greatly prefer the parts of the album that sound closer to rock n' roll than country. But I think fans of Jenny Lewis should be satisfied with the content." Reply
