"The sneakiest masterpiece in pop music. Fagen took a huge risk in clashing with the monopoly of analogue recording when he created what would become the very reference album in terms of production and execution. Being the ever early bird to be entirely digitally recorded, Fagen showed the courage..." [+] Reply

"A work of utter genius. This album always seemed to me to be an extremely determined Curtis attempting to prove to the world that he was more than just a great pop songwriter (which he certainly was, and The Impressions are probably my favourite singles band of all-time), but also a Curtis overco..."

"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

"Finest example of the importance of creative freedom. When Stax broke with Atlantic Records in 1968 and lost her entire back catalogue, Hayes was compelled to make a studio album. He wasn't very happy to; his debut album "Presenting Isaac Hayes" failed to chart and Hayes had decided to stay in th..." [+] Reply

"Definitely Nick Cave's best album. Chock full of brilliant songs. Somewhat inconsistent as most double albums are - would have made a killer single album. Here's my imaginary track-listing: 1) Nature Boy 2) There She Goes 3) Abattoir Blues 4) Let the Bells Ring 5) Messiah Ward 6) Breathless 7) Ea..." [+] Reply

"Can't really bring much new to say, yes she benefited greatly from being born into a hollywood family and her preternal social-media savviness and heaps of self-confidence definitely helped hype her music to the extreme. And yes she is a precociously deft songwriter with striking, crinkly-voiced ..." [+] 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
