"This great Album is burnt into my mind, because I joined the according concert in Hamburg, Germany (Große Freiheit 36 i think). It was my first big concert! I was 16. It was outstanding!"  Reply

"This one was sort of a surprise. I love the early 80's Alice releases like Dada, and then in the mid 80's, Alice's sales started picking back up but was much more in the hair metal vein. The Last Temptation had the feel of his classic 70's stuff, yet some modern things as well. Too bad this came ..."  [+]  Reply

"Kinda disappointing set list, plus songs like Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand are already filled with long guitar solos, no need for a 16 min version. That being said it's still NY and CH so can't complain too much."  Reply

"Sadly this would be Royal Headaches swan song before disbanding in 2017 leaving a lasting legacy of merely 2 wonderful albums. These guys could have been the saviour of rock and roll but alas it wasn’t to be"  Reply

"I discovered this album on Youtube one day when I was curious to see what Phoebe Summersquash, drummer for genius Rhode Island indie power pop trio Small Factory, was up to these days. I stumbled upon a song called Phoebe Summersquash by the already defunct Philadelphia band Scary Monster. I love..."  [+]  Reply

"I never in a million years thought that I would have a Carly Rae Jepsen record in my Album of the Year watch. The songwriting, production, instrumentation choices, Rufus-collab, all of it is so surprisingly good."  Reply

"Moonshake's debut album blends asymmetrical rhythms--think Can (from whose song the band took their name) or Silver Apples)--with rock guitars, noises and samples, dub-bass lines, pulling in some flutes or other jazz instruments into a highly layered post-rock collage best listened to with a grea..."  [+]  Reply

"Very good and lengthy live album which captures Peter's studio approach in a live setting well, a fine summation of his greatest hits just before his greatest solo masterpiece."  Reply
