"Looking to discover some great music from 2001 I checked out ‘ Comfort Eagle’ and was pleasantly surprised... this album goes alright. So Short Skirt Long Jacket is the obvious reference point here but it’s far from the best thing here with ‘ Commissioning A Symphony In C ‘ and ‘ Comfort Eagle ‘ ..." [+] Reply

"I very much enjoyed this one. Has something running through it. Playful, stormy, lauching from one thing into another. Sounds like an album for a special time and place. Album cover works greatly with the sound too." Reply
"One of those concerts you wish you were there... Such an intimate, powerful live album" Reply

"The first half is brilliant, unfortunately the second half is a big drop-off. My highlights are Mr Writer, Have A Nice Day, Vegas Two Times and Step On My Old Size Nines. Weakest tracks - Caravan Holiday, Rooftop and Everyday I Think Of Money. The 2002 re-issue contains their brilliant cover of H..." [+] Reply

"By far the most underrated album I have seen on this site to date. My Morning Jacket can be appreciated by people who are fans of multiple genres. I'm not a big fan of American Dad, but when I found out they dedicated an entire episode to MMJ I had to find it. If you like the show find that episo..." [+] Reply

"Gilmour really comes into his own as a songwriter, with an album of mature, lovely music in the vein of "Fat Old Sun." It's not quite Floyd, but it doesn't try be. Best songs are "Smile," "This Heaven," and the title track, but the album can be enjoyed start to finish. It's so nice to hear peacef..." [+] Reply

"This album meant absolutely nothing to me first few times I heard it, and I have no idea how. Pop-punk was a massive part of my high school experience and I gave all of the big bands a shot, but it seems the appeal of this record was lost on me at the time. I gave it a try again my senior year of..." [+] Reply

"A decent album with an interesting choice of musical styling which is very relaxing and therapeutic to listen to. The diverse range of artists keeps the music fresh as well and the style is maintained as it is passed from one artist to the next which is really impressive. There are some really ca..." [+] Reply
