"This is the album that introduced me to Bonnie Raitt. Bought it from a second hand shop in 2022 on a whim and loved it straight away. I am now slowly making my way through her backlog, enjoying each new record I discover. So glad I took that chance, and I have the rest of her catalogue to look fo..."  [+]  Reply

"This album sees John Dwyer's garage/psych rock outfit delve into slinkier grooves and lengthier jams than any previous outings. With two tracks clocking in over 14 minutes and others ripping past in just under 2, the sound and pacing here is gleefully splintered and awkward, just like the cult kr..."  [+]  Reply

"I dunno, I kinda actually like this. She was playing guitar online and people were bashing her and I'm like you people are just being picky jerks. Fun quality enjoyable music if you ask me."  Reply

"Satriani's vocals leave a lot to be desired, but the instrumental work on this album is terrific. The album contains three perfect instrumentals which could be on any best of guitar list: The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, One Big Rush, and The Forgotten pt 2."  Reply

"This makes a really welcome change from so much recent singer songwriter music which, even if it's not outright bad, leaves very little impact on me.

"Josh Ritter's "the animal years" starts off with a girl in the war" crying "paul said to peter 'you gotta rock yourself a little harder' / pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire".
