"To The Limit is a looser collection of songs than her 2 previous albums (Joan Armatrading & Show Some Emotion). Wishing, You Rope You Tie Me, Barefoot & Pregnant & Bottom To The Top are all brilliant but Baby I and The Letter are top notch Armatrading songs that are the cream on the top here." Reply

"Dog and Butterfly along with Little Queen really built Heart's reputation as a world class hard rock band, and there are many who think it's Heart's strongest album. This album was somewhat of a concept album back when albums had two sides, as the first side (Dog) contains the harder upbeat tunes..." [+] Reply
"It doesn't bode well when the V2 album opens with the sound of a V1. It all sounds a bit pretentious, some good tracks though." Reply

"Solid southern rock album. "Dreams I'll Never See" is a worthy cover of the Allman Brothers' "Dreams"." Reply
"Another great record by Chico, with no weak tracks. A few songs had been censored for years ("Cálice", a masterful hymn for freedom of speech, and the anti-dictatorship samba "Apesar de Você") and others come from his "Ópera do Malandro" (a version of "The Threepenny Opera"), including the highly..."

"Some say this is the best album Springsteen never made. It's interesting it is full of his influence. This might have been the direction Bruce went if he wasn't bitter over all the legal troubles. That said, this is still a really good album on it's own merits." Reply

"Ok we were all shocked in 1978 that Ace Frehley could put out an entire album's worth of material by himself...that it was this good is doubly shocking. Obviously he was holding out on KISS.
