"Cream's true masterpiece and along with Layla, Clapton's most relevant album, this is a really underrated record which shows the band mastering the blues and transitioning it to the sound that would later be part of the sound of Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath, although the live recordings are too m..."

"One of the best things about Beatles albums is the way multiple voices on the separate songs come together in one album by one band. By that standard, Vol 1 is the most Beatley Post-Beatle album by any ex-Beatle. By the multiple-voices-one-album factor, it even exceeds Band on the Run ." Reply

"Bone machine, is Tom Waits' industrial album. It's dark, unsettling, and has a kind of mechanical sound to it, like it was recorded in some nightmarish factory. First track, earth died screaming, is actually one of the more challenging songs, as if he wanted to scare the daylights out of any casu..." [+] Reply

"I remember reading BEA user JulianR’s comment on My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless “never has an album been so synonymous with a genre, yet so unique within it”, but my mind, however, leapt immediately to this one. So iconic was its release that the entire labelling of the ambient genre followed its..." [+] Reply

"One of the great rock debuts, boy, is full of energy, grit and ambition. It's an album from a band hungry for success, and they give it their all on this excellent record. The opener, I Wii follow, is fantastic, it's the first song of many that manages to blend the power of rock with an atmospher..." [+] Reply

"The sound of depression had been done before. But never like this. This is the sound of a man fighting for his life with everything he's got. With bile. With rage. He doesn't want to die & he's pist as all hell at being sick. At being attacked by his own body, his own mind. He screams out for hel..." [+] Reply

"I cannot recommend this album with any more fervency than I already have. This is a classic in every sense of the word. This album has been an at least once per week listen for me for the last 40 years!!! (Perhaps I exaggerate a tad.) A remarkable achievement for a group of talented musicians. Mo..." [+] Reply

"Another awesome SOAD work here. I didn't like it as well as Tox or Hypnotize, but still really enjoyed it. Such a unique, heavey, and all around awesome sound. Favorite track was probably Old School Hollywood. Just had some charm about it." Reply

"Contains all of the controlled anger and expert songcraft of their later work, but presented in a rawer, less polished form. In a short 8 tracks, Come on Pilgrim covers enough territory musically to contain everything from the brash alt-rock that led to the alternative rock explosion of the ninet..." [+] Reply
