"Less an album and more of a short story scored by a garage rock band's take on a spaghetti western soundtrack. A totally wild concept that is more-or-less pulled off successfully.

A totally wild concept that is more-or-less pulled off successfully.
Atmospherically, Eyes Like the Sky is a triumph. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the tumbleweeds rolling by. Musically, the album is less engaging; the songs being constructed more as riff-based themes rather than proper arrangements serves the concept better than the overall listening experience. It's a neat experiment that's definitely worth listening to, but inessential beyond demonstrating to your nonplussed friends how effin' WEIRD King Gizzy can get sometimes."[+]Reply
""Unearth Unreal” has a few things going for it. Hozier is a technically talented vocalist. The lyrics are well written. The ones in Gaelic are a particular nice touch.

Hozier is a technically talented vocalist. The lyrics are well written. The ones in Gaelic are a particular nice touch. As the album unfolds, all these qualities are overwhelmed. Hozier’s performance becomes overwrought with him carrying his vocals like a chorus kid showing off. It bogs down any of the emotion root from the songs. The song writing becomes obsessed with writing about a relationship not working out. Each time it is brought up it’s less interesting than the last. The production alternates between dim acoustic backings and tacky gospel splatterings. The energy begins to take on that of a 90’s movie credit song desperately trying to hammer in the message. A good foundation built into an ugly house. "[+]Reply
"Badfinger's second album for Warner Brothers was recording during two sessions - the first took place at The Caribou Ranch, Colorado in April/May 1974; the second at AIR studios, London in June.

Though financial worries had begun to have great influence on the 4 members; they all felt that they had to put everything they had into these recordings. And this really shows on the album - another masterpiece - one of the really great albums of the seventies. It has been called "The Sergent Pepper of the 1970's"; personally I feel that it has more in common with "Abbey Road".
Badfinger had grown into an albums-band, and this album really works as a whole, especially the original side 2 which features two very succesful medleys. The album opens with Pete's very powerful "Just A Chance" and with Mike's light and catchy "You're So Fine" song by Joey and Pete - once again Mike proves himself as a competent songwriter. Joey's "Got To Get Out Of Here" really shows how Joey felt about about the music business and being in the band ( as we know he left shortly after the album's release) a very strong song by Joey. "Know One Knows" is another powerful melodic rocker by Pete - I love the Japanese voice that meddles with leadguitar part. The first side closes with another grand production which characterizes most of the album; Pete's Dennis written to his step-son. Besides the two medleys side two features Tom Evans' "King Of The Load" ( one of my favourite Tom Evans songs) and Joey's quiet Love Time. No singles were released from the album; this was a period when hit-singles didn't matter much to the progressive/ambitious bands. "Just a Chance" or "Know One Knows" might have been able to make the charts with the right promotion, though none of them have immediate hit-potential.
My favourites: Just a Chance, Know One Knows, Dennis, King Of The Load and Meanwhile Back at the Ranch"[+]Reply
"This is as good as an alternative country album can be. A haunting voice leads one of the best debuts from 2019 and shows potential to be one of the 2020's defining artists. The whole album is incredible but Roses Are Falling, Turn To Hate and Winds Change would be the standouts with Turn To Hate...""This is as good as an alternative country album can be.

The whole album is incredible but Roses Are Falling, Turn To Hate and Winds Change would be the standouts with Turn To Hate on a shortlist of best songs of the year.
This is also a must listen while playing Red Dead Redemption. "[+]Reply
"'Everything Changes' continues the successful blend of alternative rock and Celtic folk-pop in Del Amitri's music.

The follow-up to 'Waking Hours' is nearly as good, even if the lack of really strong singles drags it down a bit. The sound on this LP is fuller and closer to adult contemporary rock than on 'Waking Hours'.
While the fuller, more guitar- and percussion-heavy sound is a welcome step forward, the record suffers from a lack of variety. This is mostly a very typical 90s guitar pop-rock of the happier kind. With booming choruses, Del Amitri seeks to satisfy those who are looking for majestic rock music for long trips by car. But that's really all there is to it. The music is catchy and there are some great songs in there, but the elegant touch from 'Waking Hours' is sadly missing. "[+]Reply

In fact, there's a few songs I actually liked. I actually repeated Iced Honey twice and caught my head bouncing around a bit. But one question still lingers. Between this album and Tyler The Creator's Goblin, why is everyone suddenly proclaiming themselves to be a table? Weird.
