"Her debut solo album is the worst of her 5 studio albums. Apart from Crazy In Love & Dangerously In Love and possibly Me Myself I the album is not up to her high standards."  Reply

"Hah, I might have been a bit too quick to declare Bitter Tea as my favourite FF album. I decided to give this one another listen afterwards, and now I'm not sure anymore.. While I think BT has the best songs by the band, this album flows incredibly from start to finish, and it's just ridiculously..."  [+]  Reply

"I love this album. His last that he made after learning he had terminal cancer. The Boss helps out with a blistering solo on "Disorder In The House". Love "Dirty Life & Times", emotional version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door", "Disorder In The House" is great, "Numb as A Statue", "Party for Rest ..."  [+]  Reply

"I kind of agree with PsychologistHD. This album is far too difficult to listen to, and it's way too harsh for my taste. Thank God that Animal Collective ditched this sound over the course of their career."  Reply

""Everything Must Go" is Steely Dan's second album since their re-union - and at this point their latest. I have noticed that it is often considered weaker than its predecessor, "Two Against Nature". I'm not sure I agree. Without quite reaching the heights of the 1970s there are on this album some..."  [+]  Reply

"I can't believe the low rating and ranking of this album... I prefer this to their 80s/90s albums. Not a bad song on it (despite a slight drop-off in the last 3 songs), all great rock songs with awesome guitar riffs. My favourites are Just Because, Superhero, The Riches and True Nature. If you're..."  [+]  Reply
