"This is one of them albums that grow on you. I remember buying it and listening to it several times thinking it was alright, then one day I put it on when alone in my car on a long drive and the full power of the title track just punched me in the face. Loved the album ever since." Reply

"Queen's most mainstream sounding album since their start is this one. Not a bad thing. Diverse album too, which includes slow piano ballads like All Dead All Dead and My Melancholy Blues, rock songs like It's Late, We Will Rock You, Sheer Heart Attack, among others, and an interesting psychedelic..."

"Why no-one else has seen fit to comment on this work of unmitigated genius is beyond me. I've got 3 things to say about this LP - 1. it's one of the only JA LPs you can listen to from start to finish and think "you know what, this is an album, not a collection of singles with a few fillers chucke..."

"For whatever reason Rush is not a band that I've ever felt the need to connect with and listen to until now, a relatively late phase in my musical discovery (of classic rock at least), and I am completely shocked and blown away by how good this album is (especially considering that you don't hear..."

"This is a fantastic rock and roll album and it really stunned me with the quality on first listen. The guitar work is incredible and the riffs along with the solos are genius and stunning. The drumming is relentless and makes the music overflow with energy when paired with the guitar. Then there ..." [+] Reply

"An astonishing performance by Yes on a record that is very under appreciated. The instrumentals on this album are amazing and stun me every time I hear them. The guitar work is just outstanding and this is exemplified by the 15 minute epic Awaken which is the best track on this album. This song e..." [+] Reply

"I never thought this album could be so good ! It’s almost as good as BIA for me. The tracklist is nice: starting with a classic happy hit of Supertramp, then great varied songs from both singers, and the incredible Fool’s Overture, one of their most accomplished song IMO. Standouts: Give a Little..." [+] Reply

"Ramones second and more of the same, possibly even better than the first album. I bought this and Ramones in early 77 as US import pressings and they were barely off my turntable for the whole year – best band ever and a soundtrack to my youth." Reply

"An ambitious first album from Peter Gabriel. Incorporating rock, folk, and even barbershop music, it's an eclectic piece of work. Moribund the burgermeister, is a great opening track, and, modern love, is also a strong cut, but best songs are the excellent, Salisbury hill, and closing track, here..." [+] Reply
