"The Long Ryders debut made a lot of waves in the underground scene of the 1980s. The band brought about a rockabilly revival, inspired by the folk rock of the Byrds and the lyrical depth of R.E.M. Their debut "Native Sons" was a major influence on independent folk and Americana bands. Aside from ..."  [+]  Reply

"This is serviceable metal, but far, far, far from Fates Warning's best. Fates Warning would later seriously upgrade their vocals, their songwriting, and the sheer depth of their music."  Reply

"The follow up to voodoo lounge is still nothing special, but it's an improvement on the previous album. It's starts off with another lazy rocker, flip the switch, which is almost stones by numbers, but it's followed by anybody seen my baby, which is better, a smoky, sultry groover which has been ..."  [+]  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

"Aug19. These guys have been coming up a lot on my YouTube playlists lately. The first 2 songs are pretty good, then comes 'She's Kerosene' which is a brilliant song. This is certainly ska I can listen to over and over. 'Got Each Other' (with Rancid) is good, of course. Everyone has a go at vocals..."  [+]  Reply

"This album could have been in my top 30 list if it had only 10 songs, but it has 4 songs too many and that ruins it a bit. Songs 10, 12, 13 and 14 are boring and don´t keep the quality of the rest of the album. The jewels: "No Hay Marcha En Nueva York", "Mujer Contra Mujer", "El Blues Del Esclavo..."  [+]  Reply

"I find this to be Pete's crowning achievement as a solo artist. Every cut is worthwhile as a stand alone and contributes to the whole as well. About half the cuts are worthy of being bona fide classics. There is definitely some 80s production at the fore, but it doesn't detract from the undeniabl..."  [+]  Reply
