"This album from two prominent members of the Who and The Small Faces, is really a little gem. For Ronnie Lane the album came at a point in his career when his Slim Chance project more or less econimically lay in ruins; and worse his multiple sclerosis had just been diagnosed. For Pete Townshend t..."  [+]  Reply

"Definitely next level for the Bill Evans Trio. The piano playing is the perfect combination of fast and slow, loud and soft. The bass playing is among the best I've ever heard and the drumming keeps everyone together. A worthy addition to any Jazz collection. "Elsa" and "Nardis" are highlights of..."  [+]  Reply

"Creed is another band that doesn't quite deserve all the crap they get. No, they're not the most original band ever, but it's worth noting that this grunge-influenced sound was very out of style at the time. There wasn't much else like this on the radio in the late 90s, so we didn't mind hearing ..."  [+]  Reply

"My favorite breakout album of the year. This synthy-distorted-punk jaunt gallops at such a pace that you have to keep returning to let those earworms set and those grooves integrate into your psyche. This is not Post-Punk, this is not Synth-Punk this is "post-modeM" If Hardwired doesn't hook you ..."  [+]  Reply

"Well, I for one haven’t forgotten the Pixies and never will and am surprisingly digging this album which is easily their best suit of originals since ‘Trompe le Monde’ waaaaay back in 1991. Mind you, the bar had been set extremely low since that release with a trio of stinkers beginning with ‘Ind..."  [+]  Reply

"Definitely the best In Flames album. It is their most brutal and heavy. The songwriting is very good. Moonshield is one of my all-time favorite metal songs, the acoustic in that is so good."  Reply
