"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

"Chico Buarque is a genius. "Construction" is exactly what he does in this album, through his words and sounds he builds whole cities only to destroy them all and start again. It leaves you helpless, small and oddly strong after being able to connect to everything he says." Reply

"This double album was released after Live at Fillmore East had propelled the band to stardom in the USA. It has three components. Firstly studio tracks featuring Duane Allman, secondly tracks recorded following his untimely demise and lastly live tracks from the Filmore East performances. More by..." [+] 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

"This year has been so shitty. And while an album like Fetch the Bolt Cutters recognizes our turmoil and frustration, Shore is a great complement. This is a work of love, joy, and hope that has come at not a moment too soon. But even musically, it's making a strong claim as the best Fleet Foxes al..." [+] 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

"I picked up guitar when I first heard In A Little While, and I haven't looked back since. I've always had a special place in my heart for this album for that reason, and I hope one day I can thank the Edge for changing my life." Reply

"(Warning: this comment is kinda long.) I'll be honest, this album took some time to grow on me, as I had some expectations about it before listening. But eventually, I came to appreciate it and thought that it was pretty solid. Around the end of 2018, I was a bit surprised to see this record very..." [+] Reply

"First impressions: 1.Really like how all over the place the album is it feels like little fragments of Earl's psyche. 2. Instrumentals are extremely unique. 3. Earl continues to have one of the most assured flows of any rapper of his generation. 4. It is the perfect length based on how short the ..." [+] Reply

"Drake is just so bad. It’s unbelievable. I don’t see what people see in him. There are so many other great rappers out there, people who are incredibly talented, and this is who people go nuts over? This album is even worse than his first album, and his first album only had like one or two good s..." [+] Reply
