"This, the American version of their first album, differs to the U.K. version in so much as it replaces, Mona, with, not fade away. The majority of the songs are covers including the raw sexuality of, I just want to make love to you, and, I'm a king bee. There's a few originals in there the best b..." [+] Reply
"Little known solo release from the 90’s alternative rock icon hooks up with Rick Ruben and strips away the OTT BS and replaces it with acoustic guitars, pianos and strings for a down to earth and humble album that is surprisingly good despite the awful and completely made up word ‘Ogilala’ title ..."

"Can't say I've ever heard music quite like this.. especially in this decade. I look forward to seeing what else these guys can do." Reply

"Happy to see this little hidden gem here. Normally when people mention Steve Earle they'll talk about Guitar Town or Copperhead Road. This might just be his best though, wielding tracks like Mercenary Song, Tom Ames' Prayer, and Angel Is the Devil. Good choice!" Reply

"One of the more curiously produced albums of 2025. Just wild and well-written enough to not sound amateurish. Imagination and strong compositions can make up for a lot!" Reply

"This is definitely an underrated classic. It follows a similar vein to These Days (IMO Bon Jovi's best and most mature album). Only criticism is it is probably 2 songs too long. Which ones to take off though, a hard decision. Favourite tracks Queen Of New Orleans, Janie (Don't Take Your Love To T..." [+] Reply
""The Apples in Stereo" make music with pop appeal. Layered with vocoders, disco strings, wacky synths, and pulsing dancefloor beats that have been blended into their bubblegum indie sound, this album's complex layers still digested easily. Increasingly more synthisized than previous releases and ..." [+] Reply

"I think this is the best album of 2013 so far. "Just make it stop" sounds like a classic." Reply
"Stupidly good. It's almost laughable at times due to how many ideas Steven has. Never feeling intrusive or over-elaborate, he manages to create a double album for the ages, with some incredible features, notably Tierra Whack, George Clinton, Anderson .Paak and Denzel Curry. There's no doubt in my..." [+] Reply
"Well that was a pleasant surprise. 80's synth is my music but at the time Visage weren't a band I liked. Fade to Grey didn't appeal to me and I tarred them with that brush (I did the same with Radiohead - didn't like Creep). I picked this up because I'm buying vinyl again and saw this for 3 quid...."
