"A mixed bag that seems to be an attempt to appeal to both fans of Clapton's blues based stuff and his pop/adult contemporary stuff. It will probably satisfy neither, but the first half at least is listenable enough. Better versions of songs from this album appear on Unplugged and 24 Nights."  Reply

"have to say, if anything Dream Theater is incredibly talented. More specifically, John Petrucci is incredibly talented. It amazes me how well he plays the guitar and how well he arranges most of Dream Theater’s music. The music here is very good. Great string arrangements over some really cool gu..."  [+]  Reply

"I've been to a bunch of P-Funk shows and I've been listening to their albums and studying the album covers for many, many years. This is my favorite P-Funk album. Come for the Sly Stone cameo, stay for the funk that just keeps cooking, start to finish. "Hey mon, I'd just rather go dancing than to..."  [+]  Reply

"So many people have panned this album. Most of the negative reviews refer to a certain laziness, as if NCATBS were simply dusting off some old, rejected, songs and churning them out in order to get an album out. And, to be fair to the reviewers, it's nowhere near the Bad Seeds' best efforts. But ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is kinda of my "guilty pleasure" album. Certainly not a "greatest album ever" worthy album, but being a young man I gotta have some love for techno/club music. This is one of my favorite techno albums ever. I don't care if it's "mainstream" or not, it's a good ass album. Get some bass-..."  [+]  Reply

"This is indie rock for the walkmen quite the same as any other walkmen release save for a more cheery outlook. The first three tracks are pretty solid and features my favorite walkmen song in a (long) while, "heartbreaker". In fact, this could be my favorite walkmen album to date!"  Reply

"Abba's second album from 1974 is in many as a natural sequel to the debut "Ring Ring" from 1973. The recipe is much the same: a handful of fine singles "Waterloo" (not least), "Honey Honey" and "Hasta Mañana" supplemented with a mixed bag of popsongs. Among the lesser-known album-tracks there are..."  [+]  Reply
