"This is a heavily underrated Tull album. When it was released, the public saw the group as a dinosaur that seemed to make itself even more irrelevant with every new offering. That is a shame, especially because as a musician you are chained to “Locomotive Breathe” while you also like to receive f..."  [+]  Reply

"This is what I would dare call the classic "Schulze". Very repetitive, analog but supportive drums, long drawn-out chords on the synthesizer that unfortunately beg a little too often for variation (playing a different note really causes a kind of relief). The sound of the synthesizer effects is v..."  [+]  Reply

"Stevie's best album from the 60's , the title track, Shoo Be Doo & I Don't Know Why being the stand out tracks. I'd Be A Fool.., You Met Your Match & I'm More Than Happy are also great tracks. The last 4 tracks however drag the album down to 80/100."  Reply

""Below the Salt" was Steeleye Span's fourth album, but probably the first where the sound that gave the band their greatest successes is predominant. Producer of the first albums Sandy Robertson has been replaced by Jerry Boys, and the two founder-members Ashley Hutchings, Martin Carthy are repla..."  [+]  Reply

"After two heavily produced albums in which they might have reminded listeners of the Sundays produced by The Cocteau Twins,(not such a bad thing,) they switched producers, stripped away layers of sound, and discovered that less is more. With the introspective songwriting of lead singer Karen Peri..."  [+]  Reply

"I love this band's early stuff. This is along with Vengeance one of their two best albums. Title track No Rest is a storming anthem and one of my favourite all time tracks."  Reply
