"Still regarded as one of the most important and influential albums in the history of Christian music. If that kind of thing appeals to you then you must listen to this album."  Reply

"This was the album that really consolidated Los Lobos' name as a modern rock band that was on level with contemporary trends, wrote great songs and who played their instruments sang their songs to pure delight. The album is once again produced by T-Bone Burnett. This time the group decided, with ..."  [+]  Reply

"It's hard to believe that Nanci Griffith and her amazing talents never made her as big as she should have been. Though perhaps her versatile nature as a singer and songwriter prevented her from falling into a marketable niche. After two successful albums on the small Philo folk label, Nanci Griff..."  [+]  Reply

"Not terrible, definitely not great either lol. This made Trout Mask Replica much easier to listen to. Whatever you called this, I call this "proto-punk" because of the instrumentation and Yoko's screeching. Ringo's drumming is just fantastic."  Reply

"Released in 1975 this is a compilation of 14 tracks from their first 3 albums plus the single Fernando. It gelled together as an album though and was a massive seller in the U.K."  Reply

"The third of the major label releases (even though this ended up back on Drag City), Royal Trux is still flushing out their more accessible sound, and once again, it actually works. This one boogies."  Reply

"A surprisingly dance-y record from Saint Etienne who show that they've still got it with synthpop bangers and an intelligent set of lyrics firmly rooted in the love of music and the love of life. Similarly to the work of "Boards of Canada", the record does have a heavy tinge of nostalgia and floa..."  [+]  Reply

Her sound is super unique and futuristic and one day will be regarded as very influential. This LP is some of her best offerings yet. Silky, nostalgic UK garage b..."  [+]  Reply
