It's hard a produce a bad album, or even a mediocre on..."  [+]  Reply

"I wish I loved the third and final Petty/Lynne production more than I did, I still think Full Moon Fever is his greatest record. Still, it's a really solid Tom album. Best song(s): "Saving Grace" "Flirting With Time" "This Old Town""  Reply

"I love his voice and I love the quirky upbeat songs here. Not far behind their Join With Us album and you can easily see them gearing up for that album with some top tunes here including Never Be Lonely; and the lovely Sewn and equally lovely Rose'"  Reply

"The most addicting album I've ever heard; I can listen multiple times on repeat and never get even a little tired of it. Masterful as both pop and rock, an album that doesn't sound quite like anything else, full of unique character."  Reply

"So I swear I had this mix that was the best songs of Ferocious Mopes and Impeccable Blahs and I thought they were a legit release, but must've been a "mix tape" a friend gave me. Songs worth listening to: Snowcones and Puppies Sad, But Endearingly So Angles and Darlas"  Reply

"I dig this Drone-doom ambient noise-thing album. It reminds me of the wind in Bela Tarr's film "Sátántangó". Really intense in all its anti-climactic glory. It's a bit overlong at times, but definitely some beautiful ambient pieces in there, but I dug the few songs with vocal a tad more."  Reply
