"Criminally underrated album, really wish more people would give this and other studio Phish a listen!" Reply
"The last album by De Andrè, a summary of all his career, the right conclusion of his life" Reply
"A beautiful fusion of acoustic folk and electronica make this a nineties classic. Trailer park, Beth Orton's lovely debut was perfect for the time and place, and features great tracks in, she cries your name, don't need a reason, and, whenever. Still her best album in my opinion." Reply

"Mercury Falling is one of Sting's weaker works. The set of songs aren't memorable and most feed into the perception that Sting is pretentious. Singles like I'm So Happy I Cant Stop Crying are corny.
