"The fact this album isn't in the top 10 of 1999 doesn't do it justice, I put it in my top 10 of all time. Tellin' Stories was good but this is just magnificent. The Blind Stagger and Impossible the stand out tracks from a an album where The Charlatans where on top form, with a big departure from ..."  [+]  Reply

"Although this did not have the immediate impact on me that KOTWF did at the time, I listened to it for longer then. I also find this easier to listen to now. So, taking that into account, and the fact it contains the classic Stand & Deliver I rate this higher (but neither as high as Dirk)... Saw ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album has its moments, and I have a feeling that this might be an album that requires a lot of listens to really get, but overall, the album was fairly boring. I mean, some of the songs were just straight up uninteresting entirely. Long, drawn-out electronic pieces that just stagnated and we..."  [+]  Reply

"I agree that Nickelback is a bad joke of a band, but it's really the musical movement they came out of that is the problem, which All Music refers to as the "post-grunge" period where every band and its brother had a lead singer that sounded like Eddie Vedder accompanying bland AOR mid-..."  [+]  Reply

"Foreign affairs, is Tom Waits' film noir album. It's full of monochrome images of gangsters, loose women, and illicit goings on, it's a very cinematic experience. The record starts off with the instrumental, Cinny's waltz, sets the scene perfectly, this isn't a modern day record, it's old fashion..."  [+]  Reply

"I just don’t get the bad ratings. It’s not in my top tier of Tull albums but I really like this album. Salamander is one of my top 10 favorite tracks by the band. Maybe it’s because this was the 2nd Tull album I heard after Thick As a Brick as I have a sibling who’s seven years older than me and ..."  [+]  Reply

"Raw and ragged and kind of thin and flat; their first trip to the studio wasn't any better than anybody else's, and they were still figuring out whose guitar would be better where. But it is strangely compelling; like the very early U2 recordings, they aren't very good, but you can tell that will..."  [+]  Reply

"If you don't consider the movie & gospel albums as concept albums, this is the first concept album of Elvis. A very wide variety of country songs done perfectly. This is his best album of the seventies."  Reply
