"This is a flawless John Lennon compilation. It contains all of his Top 40 hits, and then a few great songs that didn't: "Mother," "Love," "Working Class Hero," and my personal favourite, "Jealous Guy." "Lennon Legend" is the perfect introduction to Lennon's solo career. It's a shame that it is no..." [+] Reply
"This album has been on my wish list for a long time, so I feel I should point out that I have highly anticipated it for a few months, just incase that affects my opinion. This album had alot to live up to, it was released after a run of classic albums, but does it live up to them? Yes and no. Bro..." [+] Reply

"Not a bad album but very Dylanesque and as Dylan was at his peak you're better off listening to Bringing It All Back Home" Reply
"Donato is not a singer, so his voice brings the songs down _ it's way better when Nana Caymmi sings on "Mentiras"... The music is good, though; full of swing... But it's not a really exciting record." Reply
"Excellent album from the breathtaking opener Flame of West ending to majestic just a shadow. No filler track with where the rose is sown as the crown jewel" Reply
"While Smokin' at the Half Note is generally considered to be the definitive live Wes Montgomery album, I find this one to be at least its equal. This is live jazz guitar as good as it gets." Reply

"I suppose this is a bit of a transitional album. Its the first point where they consistently vary the arrangements of their songs- adding strings, static sound effects, different guitar effects and percussion sounds. Thematically they are becoming a bit less angsty, and throwing some vaguely reli..." [+] Reply
"Even though they're an American band, the sound and style of this is similar to Primal Scream with a hint of heavier ended Oasis. Not that that's bad because they're very good. Decent album." Reply
"If you’re expecting an album of ABBA similar to their mid 70s imperial phase you will be disappointed. However if you are familiar with their later albums, particularly The Visitors there is plenty to love here. This is not just the return of ABBA, it’s the return of mature ABBA. That’s not to sa..."

"Make no mistake, this is Brit-pop, but instead of the revivalism hawked by Viva Brother this is a fine addition to the lineage started by The Beatles and recently updated by the likes of Blur and The Libertines. Although their love of Pete'n'Carl may be a bit too obvious at times, their tunes (of..." [+] Reply
