"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

"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

"A truly annoying album that deserves the relative obscurity it has earned, despite the pleadings of a few delusional music critics. Sal Valentino's vocals combine the nasal tone of Dylan with the irritating vibrato of Tiny Tim for a rather brutal 1-2 punch to the nerves. The music isn't completel..."  [+]  Reply

"Everyone had written off Weiland and the STPers at this point in the 90's, but going back and listening to this one 10 years after the fact, I'm not sure why. No, it wasn't Purple or Core, but it still had some very good moments, and if some of these songs had been released four years earlier the..."  [+]  Reply

"Reminds me of the late fifties style music, where the subjects are straightforward and deal with unrequited love or love gone wrong. That's not to say this records sounds dated; on the contrary, Solomon delivers with a unique and passionate voice. And his cover of "He'll gave to go" is flat out a..."  [+]  Reply

"Very strong compilation of the band's best material from their best period before they went a little too AOR for my taste. Even then, a bunch of great songs didn't make the cut—Introduction, Old Days, I'm a Man, Questions 67 and 68 just to name a few. Chicago was really on top of their game in th..."  [+]  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
