"An excellent live album, full of energy and crammed with the best of Tull from several albums including 'Aqualung', 'Thick as a Brick', 'Songs From the Wood', 'Minstrel in the Gallery', 'War Child', to name but a few. A great introduction to early Jethro Tull. The vinyl experience is fantastic if..."  [+]  Reply

"If you’re expecting an album of ABBA similar to their mid 70s imperial phase you will be disappointed. However if you are familiar with their later albums, particularly The Visitors there is plenty to love here. This is not just the return of ABBA, it’s the return of mature ABBA. That’s not to sa..."  [+]  Reply

"Side one of this fine record (Epistle to Dippie, Sunshine Superman, There Is A Mountain, Jennifer Juniper, Wear Your Love Like Heaven, Season of the Witch) is my favorite LP side of all time. It's amazing to me that 3/4 of the comments before mine are more concerned with the side men on 1 track t..."  [+]  Reply

"I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by Zach Bryan on ‘American Heartbreak’ after a first listen, with its’ extensive range of songs, emotive lyrics and heartfelt performances. Reminded me of Ryan Adams mixed with country era John Mayer and mostly in a good way!"  Reply

"The songs on i idle by in a more languid mood than many of those already featured in Stephin Merrits oevre, if anything, this adds to rather than detracting from the album, lending it a unique and a much-appreciated appeal. Cool."  Reply

"The beginning of Zé's most experimental period (which never really ended). Not as celebrated as the posterior "Estudando o Samba", but it's as good. Better heard with headphones. The cover is legendary and it's my favourite of a Brazilian record. It is said that the marble was photographed on top..."  [+]  Reply
