"This group has one of the most interesting and unique dynamics amongst any folk group I have listened to and that keeps this record engaging even during the slower moments. To start with there is the fantastic vocal performance which is classically British and leads the instrumentation perfectly...." [+] Reply

"A colossal sonic landscape. It takes time to explore all of the deep crevices that make this album such a special place to exist within." Reply

"Zuma ranks as one of the very best and consistent of Neil's huge catalogue. In my opinion it's vastly superior to his more celebrated but, in truth, uneven works like Goldrush and Harvest. Nowhere, Tonight, Rust and Zuma are the essential Young albums to have in any music collection." Reply

"REM's third album is actually my favourite of their early records, it has a very rustic feel, their first genuine Americana moment, featuring tales of the great outdoors, of railroads, and, old men with stories to tell. It's REM as The Band. It's got some of their best early songs, feeling gravit..." [+] Reply

"Queen's most mainstream sounding album since their start is this one. Not a bad thing. Diverse album too, which includes slow piano ballads like All Dead All Dead and My Melancholy Blues, rock songs like It's Late, We Will Rock You, Sheer Heart Attack, among others, and an interesting psychedelic..."

"During the mid-nineties, Wilco inevitably seemed to be in a kind of competition with Son Volt, the band of Jeff Tweedy's former Uncle Tupelo collaborator Jay Farrar.
