"This is one of my favourite albums of all time; a perfect blend of mechanical punk with pop roots. No other album is simply quite like it. I think the main problem is that the album is just too different for most people to appreciate, though I remember lying on bed listening to this and falling i..."  [+]  Reply

D-Sides 
Compilation
"About as good as an album of b-sides (sorry, D-sides) can be. There's a lot of filler and re-imaginations from Demon Days on here, like People which is an alternate take on DARE without Shaun Ryder. There are some really good songs in this release though. Hong Kong is the main standout. It probab..."  [+]  Reply

"Johnny Smith was a guitarist of impeccable taste and masterful execution. Not a big improviser in the bop tradition, he plays brilliantly and thoughtfully constructed lines and his tone is absolutely gorgeous."  Reply

"How could someone ever give a Lee Hazlewood album a 5? All of his output (solo, with Nancy Sinatra, Duane Eddy, etc) are gold. He was a master songwriter, producer, and arranger. And I hardly even like most country music. This guy is the real deal."  Reply

"Hard to rate this album. I would normally have given it 50/100, but at least I can skip (which I will for the next times) the other half of the album. I'm actually not against Yoko Ono and her voice. It's actually beautifully melancholic, if not a bit off-key, on "Sisters, O Sisters". But her fru..."  [+]  Reply
