"Not the most interesting and certainly not the best Richard Hawley album, still, lady's bridge, is a lovely late night record full of easy on the ear tracks. Valentine, tonight the streets are ours, and, sea calls, are all fine. Not essential, but nice enough."  Reply

"My rating reflects the 1984 edition, which i was not allowed to add here to BEA, that includes "I'm So Excited" and removes "Nightline". This isn't anything revelatory or cutting edge, just really good disco / pop / r&b."  Reply

"I'll never understand the hate on this album. There a still plenty of great songs on this album that any Kid Cudi fan should enjoy. Not to mention good features from King Chip, Kendrick Lamar,a$ap Rocky, and even Father John Misty. The way I see it is, this album doesn't sound a whole lot differe..."  [+]  Reply

"Pretty good compilation but I'd include "Generator", "Hey Johnny Park!", "Low", "I'll Stick Around" rather than "Breakout", "Skin and Bones", "Big Me". There are two new songs, "Wheels" and "Word Forward" which are both strong to excellent. This is a decent introduction to the Foos, but I find th..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the best albums I've ever heard. A grower of sorts, but so incredible either way. Also, I can't think of any album that's bookended with as strong of tracks as this one. "Swimming Fields" and "Run Out" get me every time. Anyhow, this is a great album, and everyone should give it a whirl."  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
