"I like this type of 80s synth sound. It has had a bit of a resurgence but nothing like the real thing . I enjoyed the whole album more than a one hit wonder to me. If you liked you melt with you I believe you'll find other tracks to like here."  Reply

"This might be his best album. Taking solo material, Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden and Audioslave songs and performing them with just his voice and acoustic guitar. The stripped live performances really help some of his solo songs. One of the great voices in rock."  Reply

"Can't explain it - don't even want to - but this album "Stray" has made it's mark on me for over 30 years and still does to this day. I have it rated no 1 for 1990; no 2 for the 90's and 14 in my overall chart. Strange how an album can impact someone (ie me), yet have minimal impact elsewhere. Th..."  [+]  Reply

"I had actually listened to the short audio clips on Amazon, and found them quite good, without actually turning on to them. It was only when I was encouraged to listen to the album in its whole that it dawned on me: The Beach Boys have made another classic album. You almost forget that it's been ..."  [+]  Reply

"Interesting instrumental mix of jazz and electronic music elements with powerful musical themes. This sounds more like a score recording than a usual rock/jazz record. The audio quality is excellent - full of dynamic range, solid bass and detailed instrument sound. The "deluxe version" of the alb..."  [+]  Reply
