"García, the Latin American lennon!!! This is Charly García`s debut as a composer. This album has adolescent melodies deeper than those of the beatles in their first stage, and adult songs full of existentialism. "Canción para mi muerte", talks about death; "dime quien me lo robó" about teenage ho..." [+] Reply
"The best Zappa album of the Waka/Jawaka and Hot Rats period, Grand Wazoo is also one of the most underrated within his extensive canon. Although the playing is possibly not as strident or experimental as say the jazz of 'Weasels', it does not enter the realms of kitsch as is the case with the ove..." [+] Reply

"A superb Little Feat album. A southern fried blues'n'country fest with Lowell George on top form throughout. I always think of, sailin' shoes, as part of a trilogy with, Dixie chicken, and, feats don't fail me now. There are some excellent tracks here. Cold,cold,cold, cat fever, and the best vers..."

"BOCs first album was unlike anything that had come before, and well demonstrated the dark wit and musicianship these guys had to offer. The sound is raw and low-tech, but that works well with their songs and presentation. One of the great debut albums in rock history." Reply

"Phenomenal at some points like Sweet Jane or All The Young Dudes (One of my favorite all time songs) but very weak at others, it seems to Marc Bolan in the second half of the album but he never has the same sensibility" Reply

"I think this group flies under the radar a little as this is another great album from them to add to their already stacked discography. The music is rich and feels grand and there is so much to explore that it takes so many listens before you finally digest it all fully. Instrumentally, it is ext..." [+] Reply

"the marketing of this album is misleading...these were songs that I used to hear on our AM top 40 station the way you hear Black eyed peas or whatever crap they are playing on the radio today...it wasn't the fringe element back then. I have most of these on 45's" Reply

"Not quite on a par with Demons and Wizards. Still a very good album with a Roger Dean cover." Reply
