"The Cardiacs most fluent album. Every song flows nicely from the previous and the classic line-up were probably at their best live around this time. No real week songs and a number of live favourites such as Roger the Horse and Arnald. However, the real stand out moments are Buds and Spawn and th..." [+] Reply
"I didn’t find their last two albums that interesting and I eventually lost interest in them altogether, thinking the sound was too similar from album to album. Giving this one a chance was a worthy exercise though as it’s a lot less predictable and sounds a bit fuzzier and more stoner rock than u..." [+] Reply

"Live Dates is a pretty good recording of their most well known tracks from the early years, they are just as good live as on the studio recordings." Reply

"No, it's not all doom and gloom on this one. Black Sabbath evolved and this album shows how much they grew. I realize this isn't their most popular album...in fact, it gets slammed by a lot of Sabbath fans. However, listen to the album for its music! It's the Black Sabbath name across the top tha..."

"This is as good an album of great Pop Standard covers you are ever likely to come across. Ms Dinah Washington; probably the most underrated Jazz vocalist of history. What a voice! What a selection! What a record!!" Reply
"Misfit country songwriter Sturgill Simpson may have changed his performing name, but he continues the lush country-soul he pioneered back on his Sailor's Guide to Earth album. Excellent! Track: What If the Sun Never Rises Again" Reply
