"I know this album well. Etta James can sing any kind of music she wants, and does it better than almost everyone. At Last has some really great moments on it. daCritic is right...you should hearthis." Reply

"Basically, psychocandy, without the feedback and distortion. Alright, it's a bit more than that and though it isn't as interesting as it's predecessor, it certainly is more emotive and the songwriting overall is just probably slightly stronger, but i love the noise on, psychocandy, although it gi..."

"It's a shame because there is easily a 50 minute 9/10 album in here. The first 4 tracks, track 6, and tracks 10-15 are utterly incredible, and on par with NFR. The interludes and the piano ballads in the middle of the album grind the momentum to a halt, and while the "Taco Truck" part of the last..." [+] Reply

"Combat rock, is really the 'last' proper Clash album, and looking at the contents of the box set a few years ago, it seems the band agrees with this. If you take out, should i stay or should i go, and, rock the casbah, it would be an incredibly frustrating album. The rest is fine, but it's clear ..." [+] Reply

"A great album that creates brilliant suspense and tension with its minimalism and dark tone. This leads to an edgy atmosphere which is fantastic to explore as it really sucks you into the album once you get your head around the music. It did take me a few listens to properly understand this recor..." [+] Reply
