""Monster" by Steppenwolf from 1969 was their fourth in just two years. The previous three had all been a great successes - both commercially and artistically, and there were obviously high expectations for "Monster". The album was clearly the most political group released, especially obvious on t..."  [+]  Reply

"The voice of Anja Huwe nearly sounds exactly like Siouxsie's and the music is also dark and rhythmic but maybe stylishly it sounds a bit more like ex bauhaus. I must admit I liked it a lot."  Reply

"I remember Alan Bangs playing versions of Fever in a Radio show once. Many good ones. But Tumor I liked best. But this does not even begin to try to be on one level with her version of Mission Impossible. Simply the best dancing song of all time."  Reply

"Too High to Die is the breakthrough record from the Meat Puppets (Curt and Cris Kirkwood and Derrick Bostrom). It is easily the most accessible to the casual listener, their most cohesive project, the best they have ever sounded in the studio, and their strongest set of songs. They find some foot..."  [+]  Reply

"I have to wonder if the awkward release is the reason this record isn’t getting much traction here. I thought Part I was as good as anything that came out last year and part II is as good as anything that came out this year. That makes it… the Album of 2022-‘23?"  Reply

"Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek, unbeatable combination on this swinging output! A blueprint for Steely Dan's Gaucho? Great similarity on one track! An extraordinary recording with excellent musicians."  Reply

"It's very difficult to label this album (and this band): is it experimental or straight rock; is it electro or rock, is it Sonic Youth or Stereolab, is it tongue-in-cheek or dead-serious, etc etc. Well the end conclusion is that I like this album a lot in all its forms. And the perfect song to il..."  [+]  Reply

"A journey through sound and wonders. Easily one of favorite albums. When music is related to events of your life it really takes its power. I'm not able to listen to it anymore, but great work. If you life the soft side of Sigur Ros and ambient music, this is for you."  Reply
