"This is thee classic Joan Armatrading album, the one that put her on the map. Full of great songs Love & Affection, Save Me, Somebody Who Loves You & Down To Zero being the stand out tracks but all the tracks are 80/100 or better, she would never improve on this collection." Reply

"One of my favorite "Return To Forever" album. Not as critically acclaimed as Corea's early releases but the reincarnation of the group as it appears in this album with Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White being part of it, remains the best one in my opinion." Reply

"The worthy follow-up to Beck's seminal Blow By Blow, this disc boasts some outstanding fusion workouts. "Led Boots," a fine interpretation of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" and keyboardist Jan Hammer's "Blue Wind" totally kick ass. Outstanding guitar work from one of the greats in his prime." Reply
"What a phenomenal bassist, man. The harmonics, the melodies, the vibrance and clarity in expression and dynamic mastery. As I said elsewhere, there isn't much that can top Pastorius. Continuum and A Portrait of Tracy are incredibly beautiful, reflective tracks that completely captivate your mind ..." [+] Reply

"Not quite as strong as my favourite Weather Report albums (Mysterious Traveller, Live in Tokyo, Tale Spinnin'), but not very far behind. Has the same breezy, summery vibe as Tale Spinnin', but isn't quite as successful in its execution, occasionally lapsing into moments that feel a little too for..." [+] Reply

"Swan Song of the classic 10 CC line-up, perhaps their best album... After the release of the excellent "The Original Soundtrack" (1975), which became their commercial breakthrough, thanks to the hit Im Not In Love, 10CC naturally wanted to build on the success, and "How Dare You" turned out to be..."

"An underrated Lou Reed album. Coney island baby, is obviously not his best record but it's certainly in his top five. A more laid back LP, apart from that loud part on, kicks, it's an enjoyable LP, Lou Reed's summer record. The title track is lovely and to think this was the follow up to, metal m..." [+] Reply

"A good album contains the massive hits Silly Love Songs & Let 'Em In. The rest of the album is a mixture of Paul McCartney songs where the lead vocal is given to other members of Wings even Linda McCartney has a lead vocal. Denny Laine wrote and sings Time To Hide. Wino Junko is written and sung ..." [+] Reply
