"What can you say about Rumours that has not already been said? One of the most beautiful and yet bittersweet collection of songs ever put on record. It's impossible to pick standout tracks because they are all equally good but different to each other. How the record shifts from Chrissy's heartbre..." [+] Reply

"Roger Waters plays this whole thing live in support of his new album and this just shoots up the charts, funny how that works but it still has some climbing to do. It'd be a lot higher if it weren't competing so directly with Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall, it deserves to..." [+] Reply

"One of the interesting things about this album is that it is punk while bearing many opposite qualities from what you traditionally associate with punk. Punk is thought of as short songs, aggressive, political, rudimentary, whereas Marquee Moon has a song approaching 11 minutes, is often laid-bac..." [+] Reply

"Pitchfork called this the best album of the '70s, a move I thought was pretty dubious until I got around to spinning Low half a dozen times on a long bus ride home from college. Low manages to embody the depth of absolute melancholy through manifestations vocal and instrumental, brash and serene;..." [+] Reply

"This is the sound of punk. This is what it is. When I think of what punk was all about and what it sounded like as a musical style and not as a culture, I think of this album in its entirety. This record gets me amped every time. These angry bands today and over the last 30 years or so just gener..." [+] Reply

"This album is brilliant from the the first bass notes of "Black Cow" to the last notes of "Josie." "Deacon Blues" is one of my all-time favorite songs." Reply

"This album is SHOCKINGLY underrated in the overall score. Jesus christ people, look at the average ratings for the songs and compare it to others who score around 80-82 overall. I mean, I let a lot of stuff go on here, but COME ONNN" Reply

"This one has everything Bob Marley was, a political men, worried about his people, but also a man of peace, love and faith. He really should be put up there with the greats." Reply

"A classic punk record full of energy and urgency. It's not quite The Clash of, London calling, a few years down the line, this is a much more rawer and looser band. Good songs, but I don't think there's anything spectacular, but that doesn't really matter, it's an album, and it does exactly what ..." [+] Reply
