"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

"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

"Spencer Krug's projects just keep progressing better-and-better. Once again he has bested himself. The guitar playing and arrangements are deep but yet these songs and his delivery make these his accessible songs yet. "idiot heart" is one of those multi-sectional songs I love to sing along with, ..." [+] Reply

"How is this album on just one chart? Steve Earle is on quite a few charts & this is his best ever album." 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
"april 2014: I was disappointed listening to this again after a few years break. january 2021: seven years later I quite enjoyed it." 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
