"An album that is somewhere between warm and mild. Spacy song patturns and fancy acoustic guitars put on quite a good display. Pleasantness surrounds this album. It is the whole air it breezes. Having trouble remembering parts of whole songs even after listening a while. I suppose 'Underdog (Save ..."  [+]  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

"First class album. Very frustrating to see a rating of just 5%. I mean come on...obviously you haven't listened to the album or simply detest this genre; either way posting scores like that give an artificially low overall rating for those of us who do enjoy it."  Reply
