"It is a great debut, instrumentally it is fantastic like all Mastodon's work but it does get too repetitive and like the comment below me, it just becomes a monotonous work of growls lyrically."  Reply

""The Thieving Magpie" marks the last chapter of the so-called Fish era. This is MARILLION on the peak of their career, although the band had a few bright moments without Fish, and Fish solo came sometimes quite close to the magical early stuff with MARILLION. Most songs are from the same shows th..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is a let down, definitely one of his worst albums. I do not recommend this to anyone for any occasion unless you have a serious fetish for underachieving albums. Best song: Empire State of Mind. I wouldn't bother with the rest of the album it's not worth the time."  Reply

"Richie Faulkner's guitar playing really shines on this album. It gives you that 1970's and 1980's Judas Priest feel to it. Rob Halford, as usual is the Metal God. Great vocals as always. The drumming by Scott Travis is also superb and helps to drive every song deep into metal madness. If you are ..."  [+]  Reply

"Being a moderate Elliott Smith I finally got around to listening to this album , essentially where it all began before the solo career took off I really enjoyed the tracks with the trademark ES DNA in "Half Right" , "Get Lucky" , "Plainclothes Man" , "The Fix Is In" , "You Gotta Move" and especia..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a worthy follow-up to "Give the People What They Want" and has mostly excellent cuts. 'State of Confusion' is one of Ray Davies' great, witty openers. 'Definite Maybe' is equally witty in the vein of Kinks late 60s material like 'Party Line.' 'Come Dancing' was understandably a big hit. '..."  [+]  Reply

"Agreed Romanelli... This is a perfect Dylan album minus opening track (however I did like that song when I was a young kid)... too bad it isn't a real album... Positively 4th Street is probably one of my favorite songs from him lyrically. All of these song not only have his great poetry, but the ..."  [+]  Reply
