"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

"This band has the honour of the best band name origin story in the history of band name origin stories. Based on an early 20th century anti-humanist organisation called the Sleepytime Gorilla Press, their music is equally strange and incredibly accomplished. They even invent their own instruments..."  [+]  Reply

"Erykah Badu delivers an album I suppose it could be called a concept album centred around the telephone. The tracks are a mixed bunch of jazz hip hop soul. Her voice is unique and although a lot of the songs just repeat the same line over and over it works because the instrumentation is excellent..."  [+]  Reply
