"Fantastic album! The guitars on this one were out of this world. Definitely a part of my life for now and I am going to have to here the rest of the albums which are not on this website yet. I Feel Love was my favorite!"  Reply

"Mr. Yoakam's 5th album is a solid contemporary country record. There are several stand out tracks on here "A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" and "Ain't That Lonely Yet" being my favorites."  Reply

"Yes, this little loved PJ Harvey album is still my unquestionable favorite of hers. And yes, "modern rock marvel" Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is still my least favorite for its overt "modern rock" commercial production and half the songs feeling just mediocre songwriting from an a..."  [+]  Reply

"After the breakup of The Replacements, singer Paul Westerberg, an early influence for Kurt Cobain, released 14 Songs, his solo debut. It's a very cohesive and listenable album.

"Hope of Deliverance and Winedark Open Sea are the best tracks here along with the title track and C'mon People. Not a great McCartney album but not bad either. A pleasant listen."  Reply
