The most beautiful track though ..." [+] Reply

"This is a stunning debut that has done nothing but grow in influence since its release. Its simple guitar-driven approach matched with Harriet Wheeler's distinctively sweet voice were a great rebuttal to the overproduced garbage of late 80's glam metal, rap and pop (the same could be said of musi..."

"Sinead's vocal performance is excessively stunning. Her powerful and "breaking" switch between her modal voice and falsetto is sheer awesomeness. But I found the album not much interesting on the whole. I still prefer her debut, where there are more impressive songs such as Drink Before the War a..." [+] Reply

"A typical rock'n'roll guitar album from the Crazy horse. Ragged glory, has a great live feel and is easily Neil Young's best record in over a decade. Some enjoyable songs here in, f*!#in' up, over and over, and, love and only love. The band are clearly enjoying themselves and in turn the listener..." [+] Reply

"Some may not agree but this is the best Alice in chains album. While a couple songs arn't great, the other songs more than make up for it. This is a solid album and captures more of what the band really is to me in a time before they were just a little too polished" Reply
