"It's ok but two things need to be pointed out: -The sound is awful. The quality of this recording is so poor that almost make it unlistenable. There are 30s and 40s recordings that sound better and clearer than this. -The album turns from R&B to hollow beat/pop from #8 onwards. The quality of son..."  [+]  Reply

"Took me a lot of listens to really get into this. Yours Conditionally is one of my favourites, and I was a bit disappointed when I heard this one at first. I loved runner, but that was it. But now, I rate it as one of my top 5 albums of all time, and gave it a perfect score of 100/100. There is s..."  [+]  Reply

"You know, for the past six months, I've been going out with a girl named Annie. It's sorta funny, because she's into the exact opposite of this kind of music. She's into all this weird pretentious ballet/opera stuff like Jackie Evancho. Oh, how much cooler she'd be if she just took the time to pa..."  [+]  Reply

"A great example of how Johnny Cash could play just about anything and make it his own. My Grandfather's Clock and Five Feet High and Rising are my favourite tracks here."  Reply

"Love And Rockets A departure from densely sonic and chugging previous album 'Express.' Some songs have their expected rock sound, but mostly this is an acoustic based effort. Love and Rockets do a great job of combining acoustic music with experimental sounds. The lyrics are deep and full of inge..."  [+]  Reply

"Tracy thorn's voice was never more beautiful. Every deftly written lyric coupled with her voice begs you to listen and react. One of those albums that should have been huge, but the world is too shallow to take it. "Your pockets are lined with promises, when did promises ever pay for shoes.""  Reply

""When you need someone to be there for you, I won't be one who will help you out" cries a heart-broken Ryan Adams on Pneumonia's twangy opener, "The ballad of Carol Lynne". Whiskeytown was an alt-country band and, sonically, this album is heavier on the "alt" than any of their previous efforts (T..."  [+]  Reply
