"Is this the greatest country rock album of all time? There are so many nights I feel that way. The songs are simply majestic. The type of songs that make me feel like I can take on the entire world no matter what the odds. And I need that kind of music in my life. Songs that make me want to shirk..."  [+]  Reply

"They broke all the rules. A completely timeless masterpiece, and a wonderfully made album. No end of great songs. Highly recommend to anyone who likes avant-garde, or psychadelic, or punk, or really anything. It's just good."  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

"The most important thing to realize going into listening to this album the first couple of times is that Syd Barrett really *was* a talented songwriter, and that even without his total mental breakdown he still would have amassed a pretty decently sized following. There are quite a few melodies a..."  [+]  Reply

"Combat rock, is really the 'last' proper Clash album, and looking at the contents of the box set a few years ago, it seems the band agrees with this. If you take out, should i stay or should i go, and, rock the casbah, it would be an incredibly frustrating album. The rest is fine, but it's clear ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the most creative, interesting and ambitious rock albums of the entire decade, this basically sticks a middle finger up at the conventions of both glossy glam rock and mopey indie college bands that were popular at the time. It doesn't really fit in with the metal genre either, nor the gru..."  [+]  Reply

"Everything about this band irritates me. That includes their faux "organic family greengrocers" name, the shameless plundering of Shakespeare quotes, Marcus Mumford's pathetic hangdog vocal delivery, the faux hand-me-down caps and waistcoats look, the use of the word "heart" in every other line, ..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the greatest hard rock albums ever!! For those that like hard rock, metal, or punk...you should listen to this album, rock out, and make it part of your collection. Lemmy is an anomaly (a true rock legend)...he's still lives the fast life and plays incredibly loud, blistering, fast hard ro..."  [+]  Reply
