"This is one of the most overlooked and unfairly underrated Kinks albums. It may have vanished a little in the amount of very strong album releases that characterized these years. Moreover the theme in "Preservation" came out much unresolved, and the plot and characters did not come out clearly un..."  [+]  Reply

"Damn, the music is really good. This is not ordinary hip hop... it barely is. This is a great mix of funk, jazz and soul. The album per say is not perfect and some songs seem to drag on a little bit, but they win me over with positive lyrics, smooth delivery and a dope funk band playing actual in..."  [+]  Reply

"This is actually the best version of "Hotel California". Side One (on CD) is flawless. Like having honey poured on your ears and Elle MacPherson licking it off, slowly. Shame the honey runs out on CD2 but you can't have everything."  Reply

"This is a good record that I've had in my collection since it came out. It's their only album I have and gets play time because it brings me back to my teenage years. Obviously from that period "Free Ride" and "Frankenstein" were my favorite number one hits from this album."  Reply

"I agree, easily Jay'z most underrated album. "Ignorant Shit" ranks with "99 Problems" as the best track he's ever made and he's rhyme's are great throughout, with of course some of the best beats out there. When Jay tries, he's the best ever. It's disappointing he more often doesn't try than he d..."  [+]  Reply
