"A album overlooked by the prejudice that James are a one hit wonder whose only good song is "Laid". This album totally blew me away after I lifted my own prejudice against it." Reply

"I have approached few albums in my lifetime with as much anticipation as I did this one when it was first released in 1995. At the time I was fully convinced that Jay Farrar was the real talent behind Uncle Tupelo, so when they broke up it was Farrar's work, rather than Jeff Tweedy's, that I most..." [+] Reply

"This album is all about love. Love for music, women, drugs, alcohol, life, and reggee/punk rock music. "Punk rock changed out lives man" is how the album starts out, and the boys in Sublime let it show throughout an infectiously groovy album. The main man behind the band is Mr. Bradley ..." [+] Reply

"Great hard rock/blues rock album. Best 10 songs average is 95,7/100 and the album can get great 95/100. I love it and I can't count how many times I've listened to it. Full scoring: "Livin' on the edge" + "Cryin'" + "Crazy" + "Amazing". Followed by "Eat the rich" 90/100. Notable is also the good ..." [+] Reply

"The guitar interplay between Christopher Thorn and Rogers Stevens is what stands out for me. Sure there's Hoon's Axl Rose like vocal delivery, but what really brought home this album for me were the guitars of Thorn and Stevens. For a split second they captured lightning in a bottle." Reply

"Certainly one of Morrissey's best solo efforts, it sounded a little like a Smiths album in 1992 and continues to do so. It's always a good sign, when the poorest effort here (Fatty) never fails to raise a smile." Reply

"This album is part of my top 100 you can check out with additional omments. Neil Young had always been one of my favorite artists, both because of his side as his more electric burst especially with Crazy Horse. "Weld" is the perfect example af the second especially because it's a live rendition ..." [+] Reply

"One of the three albums that began stoner rock, this album has a lot going on melodically beneath the surface, which is why it is not just another Black Sabbath clone. The vocals, soloing, even base fills are playing harmonies which give the feeling of depth under the wall of sound power chords. ..." [+] Reply
