"This is a magnificent album for cleaning bad thoughts from your mind after a lousy day. The string-heavy arrangements might sound a tad saccharine, but that's just the meaning of them. Nat's silk-smooth voice must be one of the greatest voices ever. It has range, color, dynamics, and feel. The al..."  [+]  Reply

"Steve Vai on guitar; Billy Sheehan on bass; Gregg Bissonette on drums and Diamond Dave as M.C. It's bring played by musicians who are so far above everyone else in skill, and you can hear how they love playing with each other and they're having a blast. I have fun just hearing it. The band is so ..."  [+]  Reply

"Beautifully written. Even though Dvorak was a composer from the romantic era and a strong defender of traditional music, his sound has a unequivocal hint of modernity. The philharmonic supreme execution under Karajan's masterful dynamic control makes it a very intense listening. Smetana's composi..."  [+]  Reply

"Unbelievably underrated album, people need to rediscover this amazing hard rock album, it's not heavy metal which is why it didn't do as well as some others in certain polls. Pop rock with quality song writing and quality playing on this album."  Reply

"Debut and most successful album by Pearls Before Swine. The album is made of psychedelic folk with a peculiar vocal style (repulsive at first and then captivating!). Classic album of the 60's!"  Reply

"The title track quite rightly stole the headlines for this release but there are some good songs under the radar here, Nobody's Perfect, Nobody Knows (my favourite from the album), Don't and Black And Blue. A solid album, the 2 lead vocalists make this a nice mix."  Reply
