"This second Beatles Capitol album was first released in April 1964, only three months after the first "Meet The Beatles". Whereas most of the songs on "Meet the Beatles" were Lennon/McCartney's originals, preferably taken on the group's second European album "With the Beatles", there are a lot of..."  [+]  Reply

"This album starts off with sleigh bells' version of a 80s hair metal crowd warmer before opening up into a typical sleigh bells riff and beat. It's a confusing open to an album that attempts a little tempo variety and loses rockin' appeal as a result. They don't even sound like their debut until ..."  [+]  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

"Steve Harley is about the performance and the passion. So he isn’t much of a singer. That doesn’t matter when you put as much emotion in to a song as he does. I love his version of Here Comes the Sun and Come Up and See Me, Make Me Smile is my favourite. Give this band a chance!"  Reply

"I honestly love this album a lot. I picked it up from a CD store when I was a kid cuz I liked Sweetest Girl and Gone til November, and it was a really cool listen. Wyclef is still in Fugees mode on this release, and his storytelling on songs like "Diallo" and "911" are genuinely honest and somber..."  [+]  Reply

"This album and it's companion piece, world gone wrong, are possibly the two most underrated albums of Bob Dylan's recording career. This album especially, is a great folk record. It's Dylan's first all acoustic album for 28 years, and Bob's guitar playing here is a lot better than it was on that ..."  [+]  Reply
