"I was brought to the attention of Angel Olsen when her last album was released. I didn't dabble on it too long, so I was intrigued when her name came up again when this record received a lot of praise. It's definitely worth a listen. Olsen's singing is good, but her songs keep you interested with..."  [+]  Reply

"Ethereal music springs out of this one, their 2nd effort. The interplay of Latimer's flute and Bardens' keyboards is simply ecstatic. Unfortunately it remains another underrated brilliant classic album. On a personal note, I’ve been listening to it for the last couple of days continuously through..."  [+]  Reply

"Interesting that this guy sounds obviously very influenced by Dylan and yr a big Dylan fan.... The title track reminds of something on Blood on the Tracks... "Buckets of Rain" a bit, maybe... The picking, some phrasing, and overall vibe on third track "Troubles..." is total Dylan... reminds of "B..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm not a huge fan of rap. I'm a rock, blues, and metal guy, but this album has something about it that just pulled me in. It also helps that I've seen Snoop Dogg live. But seriously, this album is a classic from front to back."  Reply

"Okay, and here we are. His 3rd album, and his second of 1969. Townes output in 69 was better than anyone else. It was bonkers. And the production here is nearly perfect! Its so bare and breezy and simple and this gives TVZ's songs room to breathe, to float into your ears and heart and make you we..."  [+]  Reply

"This is one of the best Queen albums. It shows that the band was much better when they took risks. The theatrical progressive rock here blows away any tame classic rock sounds this album has to offer. Procession is a decent intro, but also aids well in allowing the album to flow with how it seaml..."  [+]  Reply

"Nominally, Joni Mitchell is Folk. This is really only true insofar as it indicates where she began as a songwriter. Mitchell's career quickly evolved into something far greater, and progressively harder to define. The Hissing of Summer Lawns is not only the greatest example of Joni Mitchell's cre..."  [+]  Reply

"nursery cryme was the first very good genesis album. The prior two albums were not as good -- 1969 debut from genesis to revelation was carved in a generic 60s-music template mold and follow-up trespass didn't yet carve out a unique identity for genesis yet (although sporting one of their better ..."  [+]  Reply
