"On this one, Eric B. and Rakim updated their typical Golden Age-sound of the late 80's in order to keep up with the newer, more jazzy East Coast sound of the early 90's. The results are often pleasant. Rakim still knew how to move the crowd."  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 length really hurts this album, when it used to be one of the strong points of Dream Theater. I mean, I appreciate the effort, but it's like they wanted to achieve another Scenes from a Memory, in this era of the band. And it really makes you uncomfortable..."  Reply

"Simple Minds are so uncool I am probably setting myself up with this one, but when it came out it was so fresh and different. Even the band admit that this was much more exciting than the stadium sounds that made them millions."  Reply
