""Supremes A Go Go" is classical Tamla-Motown featuring the great hits "Love is Like an Itching in My Heart" and "You Can't Hurry Love". Moreover the Supremes give versions of acts like Four Tops and Temptations hits with "I Can't Help Myself" as the most successful, without reaching the high stan..." [+] Reply
"I'm surprised that no one has yet commented on this album. It is one of their better efforts and no, I don't think the overplayed hit Black Water was the best song.

"(Quite heavy in several senses of that word, and generally pretty intense and loud and ugly. I respect it, but don't quite love it in all its brutal, abrasive charms.) Right from the jump with the opening slab of industrial metal insanity I knew I was in for some intense and sharp and abrasive an..." [+] Reply
