"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

"Stephen Malkmus is amazing, he really is. I’ve always been a huge fan of Pavement because their music is so creative and well done. I would say this album is equally as good as any Pavement album (outside of maybe “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain"). They lyrics are cleverly written, the music is great..."  [+]  Reply

"A personal favourite of mine. Love the humour of This Song , which deals with him being sued over My Sweet Lord. Eric Idle providing a Monty Python style line in it. Crackerbox Palace, another underrated classic. One of his best albums of the 70’s. Well worth checking out."  Reply

"the album as a format has been around for roughly 58 years. that's roughly 21,000 days... therefore, if you accept this album's rank at 21,609, you come to the unrealistic and inescapable conclusion that ROUGHLY ONE ALBUM PER DAY HAS BEEN RELEASED THAT IS BETTER THAN THE CLONES OF DR. FUNKENSTEIN..."  [+]  Reply

"What do you get if you cross Tool with Drive By Truckers and Defheaven ? Why you’d have All Them Witches and this incredible album A.T.
