"Turns out Wishbone Ash has been churning out albums over the past 20 years that are just as good as their stuff from the ‘70s. Check out this album, and check out the songs Take It Back, Way Down South, and Blue Horizon in particular." Reply

This is an album full of great lyrics from Curtis, Back To the World is how the GI's in Vietnam described going back home, the album comments on how difficult it was for t..." [+] Reply

"Being a biligual Belgian this album is full of meaning to me. 'Marieke' still moves me as much as the first time I heard it and invariably brings up feelings of melancholy and loss mixed with a deep sense of roots while living in two different worlds." Reply
"By this point, Sloan knew what they were doing, and did it well... It's just there's nothing really new or exciting on this album." Reply

"Sometimes this is somehow plain, but at other times it's a very happy album and perfect for some background noise. I really dig this even though I never heard about White Denim until now. Somehow the frontman's voice reminds me of FJM but in a more upbeat kind of way. Favorite songs: "Magazin", "..." [+] Reply

"It seems that the people making the 1001 Albums books have lost their minds. To get into a book you must make an album with songs with no sense, rhythm, message or whatever. This album is a prime example of that insanity." Reply

"Rufus wainwright's fifth album was a slight disappointment after the genius of the, want, LP's. Still, it is Wainwright, so all is not lost. There are still superb songs, the best being, going to a town, between my legs, and the stunning, slideshow. Tiergarten, is nice, nobody's off the hook, is ..." [+] Reply
"This album is a very pleasant surprise for me early in 2020. I didn't expect much from it, but what I discovered is a really well-balanced album, with a few really great songs and no real low point in it.
